Stereo & Electronics - Problem AGAIN!!!

Alright last fall my car started to act up and like would half way start.. The lights would like throb like the car is begging for power...Also sometimes the car would be like comepletely dead and the next minute it have power again..

So I bought a new alternator from our sponsor and installed it last fall.. The car has been running great until now it started to do the same shit it was doing before.. The alternator has only ran on the car a couple months because the car sat all winter..

Why does this keep happening? It is really starting to piss me off and is making my car a non reliable car... :bang::bang::bang: My alternator go out again? And if so what is causing this to happen? PLEASE HELP!!!! I am soooo mad right now!!

Was it a H/O alt? What are the details on your system/any other accessories? (if you have one...otherwise you probably wouldn't have posted in "Stereo & Electronics")

Did you have the battery load tested? The problem may have nothing to do with the alternator.

Yes its a High output alternator.. 160 amps. And I have a 800 watt amp for subs and a 400 watt amp for speakers with a cap so I didnt think that would mess it up..

I have a optima red top battery. And I didnt do any load testing.. How would you do that?

Take it to your local auto parts store - they usually offer free battery load testing.
