    Question Carputer killing alternator?

    I just found out that my alternator is bad. Could this be because the carputer is asking for too much current and the alternator is overworking itself? Has this happened before? Just frustrating.

    I don't think that your carputer can damage you alternator. How long have you had you alternator? I think it's probably time to change to a new one. I have been running my 1000W stero system for about 5 years and had no problem with alternator. Check to make sure your alternator is not working too hard because of bad battery.
