Re: car stereo guys i need your help!

good news and bad news.

good news: lastnight around midnight i got everythigninstalled and cleaned up. it all worked perfect. that is until i tried to start the car.

bad news: i had to jump the car to get it started, and when taking it on a test drive, it felt really really sluggish, because the amp is drawing too much power. the car only goes up to a certain rpm (not sure what, because it has no tach). i turned the stereo off and the car drives like normal. then i turned on the heater, and it had the same effect. the car would barely accelerate.

so it looks like a new battery is in the works? i have a brand new battery in my truck, so im going to take that one out and see if it makes any difference before i go spend the last of my cash on a battery.
