Hi,
I have a 2005 chrysler 300 V6 3.5L with an aftermarket alpine radio + a 500watt amplifier for my subwoofer.
When I start my car, pulldown the windows or use any electrical device, all the lights of the car starts flickering.
Also, After like 10 mins of driving, my battery alert sign turns on in my dashboard. I've turned down the "gain" on my amplifier which resolved the problem.
I've tried to unplug my audio system to see if it was the problem but my lights are still flickering. I also have a brand new aftermarket battery so this shouldn't be the problem.
Im guessing on an alternator problem. It appears to be charging @ 13.8V. Is it too low ?
I previously had a honda accord and i had no problem running a 800watt audio system with stock alternator and now i can barely run 350-400 watts.
Any idea ?
