In
some
cases,
the
installation
of
just
one
(1)
amplifier could be enough
to
overload your factory electrical system
(i.e.,
alternator). Depending on the
state
of
your electrical system and
overall
condition
of
your
vehicle,
you may
need
to
upgrade your alternator and battery. After
the
vehicle
is
started,
the
alternator provides
the
power
to
your electrical system,
not
the
battery. When
the
engine
is
running,
the
alternator
is
your main source
of
power. Upgrading
the
alternator should be your first consideration
if
you should experience a
voltage
drop
in
the
system when operating
your
audio system. Adding
capacitors
and/or
batteries
without
upg
rading
the
alternator will
only
make
the
problem worse because these devices
put
an
extra load on
the
alternator. After
upgrading
the
alternator, capacitors
and/or
batteries can be
installed
if
desired.
Use
the
following
recommended wire gauge
as
a
guide
when
installing your
amplifier(s):

Connect

using
an
adequate
size
fuse
or
circuit breaker capable
of
handling
the
current
of
the
selected power wire. A fuse
or
circuit breaker must
be
installed
to
prevent a possible electrical fire should
the
main power wire
