·I recently installed a stereo,
I recently installed a stereo, amp and midrange into my f355. 2 days later, while driving at nite, the stereo started to turn off and on by itself, and very quickly died. After the stereo died, I noticed the headlamps, dashboard air con and other electrical things started to get dimmer or lose electrical power, before the car completely died shortly afterwards and I could not restart the car because there was no electrical power. My mechanic told me that the alternator was generating too little voltage/amps. I suspect that the shop that installed the stereo, amp and midrange did not connect the system properly therefore creating a ground, or recommended a stereo system that drained too much electricity from the f355. As a result, it created electrical problems with the alternator. Could an improperly installed stereo system or a stereo system that requires too much electrical power create problems for the alternator?
Your comments would be most appreciated.
Thanks
