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 considerati
on
if
you should experience a
voltage
drop
in
the
system
when
operating your audio system. Adding
capacitors and/or batteries
without
upgrading
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
batteri
es
can
be
installed
if
desired.

Connect
the
main power wire
to
the
battery,
within
18 inches from
the
positive
(+) battery post, 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
