Sounds like the alternator, bleh. I've had alternators die before... I just kept jumping the battery every few blocks until I could get to the station...

That's weird.... same thing here. I've never had a front plate and have dark tint and stuff, and drove around like that for 2 years before they decided to start being dicks about it. And the worst part is that the motorcycle cops can pull u-turns and get you whenever they feel like it. I always say the same thing... "My car came this way and I didn't know..." and I always get a warning.

well here: http://www.4alterstart.com/pages/sto...oduct%3Daccord i know it's a lot of dinero, but 130 amps compared to the shitty 80 amps for the stocker, it will be able to carry your system and some more. just make sure you upgrade the cabling on it and the battery for anothr $30 and you got yourself a damn bad add electrical system

A big stereo will kill a low power alt. find a starter shop and have it rebuilt. It is cheaper and they can juice it up for you.

Ouch! That's a lot of money, but at least your car will be up and running again.
