    Hi yes poor amplifier as it has no power in it's entire bandwidth. so lacks linear response.

    Insufficient electrical supply is the problem. You need to upgrade your alternator to a high output version. That's the only fix. Don't even think of installing a capacitor - total waste of money.

    You have an old vehicle with a very small alternator or maybe you have a very powerful amplifier. Newer vehicles have better electrical performance with a 200+ alternator.

    It would be helpful to know what amp you have and what it s running. Car info would be good too.

    Could be a few things, and not necessarily an inadequate alternator/battery.

    Any flaw in the wiring delivering current to the amp can cause a voltage drop and trigger the amp s protection.

    The most common problems are bad connections: battery terminal, in/out of fuse, into amp, any wire terminal along the way, poor ground location, poor preparation of the ground location, insufficient wire size.

    There s also the possibility that the amp s just being pushed beyond its limits -- typically due to improper wiring and resulting impedance being too low.

    You should eliminate all the other possibilities before you replace your battery or upgrade your alternator which may not be needed.

    If your battery is so bad it can t power your amplifier it s not likely it would have enough current to start your car on a cold day. Same goes for the alt -- if it can t provide enough power for your amp it probably wouldn t be sustaining your battery either.

    Do you have a sub in your car? if not then you'll need one for low bass... If you do you might want to invest in a stand-alone amp for your sub because they use a lot of power. also, make sure all of your speakers wattages equals the max wattage of your amp.
