Hey everyone. Seeing as how the G35 has a lot of electrical systems, computers, LCD, etc etc...the charging and battery system are not keeping up with my sound system. The lights don't dim much, but it's more among the lines of if I keep the volume up for a long time it loses the punch. This requires me driving around for a while with no volume so the battery charges again...Seeing as this is probably my alternator not keeping up, what can I do?

Funny thing is, my sound system isn't all that crazy...I've got 2 12" Arc Audio ARC series subs powered by a 600 watt Arc Audio amp...and some components powered by another Arc Audio amp.

Any suggestions?

BTW it's a 2007 4 door.

 

its a 2007? it shouldnt be giving u any problems to be honest..i hve a 03.5 and knock on wood its running solid...
it might be whoever installed it might hve messed it up...juss a thoughtt

 

I got it installed at a very respected shop...Audio Advice in La Cresenta. Some things that have helped me is to set the lights to off instead of auto since setting it on auto has the lights on for a while every time i pull into the garage, and leaves it on for a while after the car is off...Any other suggestions? I'm thinking of doing the big 3, but that won't exactly help my situation much

 

check your grounding if not get a capacitor

 

i'm runing 4 amps, ma audio 4000 watt rms +i got pioneer 600w 4x60, kenwood 800w 2x 150 , and kenwood 4x 50 and i got stock alternator, stock battery, all i got is a 20 farad capacitor

 

do a "big 3" ground wire upgrade first

 

Can this be a matter of music? Most of what I listen to has continuous bass through the song...I don't know if you're listening to your music for 30+ minutes, if you aren't then it doesn't matter since your battery gets a chance to charge up when you don't have it goin.

Also, as far as the big three goes...I need a shop or someone who knows what they're doing to do it for me...Is anyone out there near LA? I'll bring the car to you and buy/pay for any parts and labor.

Thanks guys.

I would imagine he is in SoCaL! He mentions Audio Advice and it is located in the Valley!
