why would some ppl recommend a new alternator, what is it for?
sorry it's Max 600x1(bridged 4ohm) and 225x2
numbers dont mean very much...if your lights are blinking that means that the alternator cannot produce enough juice to power the amp and lights and everything else.
the reason the light blinks is that every time the bass hit, the amp draws a surge of power...in that surge the juice is taken away from the lights...making them blink.
getting a bigger alternator will solve the problem, because there will be enough juice.
but in your situation, i wouldnt spend that much money since you are not running that big of an amp.
get a farad cap. it should do it.
