So you're sayin' that your stereo setup melted your battery?

Not overcharging, definitely not...but was their any electrical issues that you've dealt with lately? Any electrical failures, faults, grounding issues, anything?

I think you've got more serious problems than just overdrawing power, though I think it's laughable that you even thought you could pull that much power in the first place off a stock alternator. You're going to need to upgrade a lot of wiring, you can't expect to move that kind of power without beefing up all the wiring to your alternator and all your ground points.

^So true! More important than RMS though, what's the amperage draw from each amp? I had a 4-ch 6004 MTX and it drew 80 amps itself!!! and that's the 4-ch, not the sub amp.

agreed with all above, first of all, double ground everything, second, upgrade all your power wire/ ground wire/ and all engine compartment wiring to 0awg...3rd...get a new alternator
