I've recently noticed that my car seems to be losing some juice. I have my
car at school, so I don't drive it every day, but in the last week or so,
I've noticed that it has trouble starting when I turn the key. At first
nothing happens (like the battery is dead)...then with some gas and more
cranking of the key, it putters to a start. Once it starts, its on. Then,
if I turn it off, I have no trouble starting it right back up. The only
trouble is when the car has been sitting for a day or two.

What I am wondering is if this problem has something to do w/ the system I
just recently installed? General run down is as follows...(2) 800watt amp
,(2) 12" subs, (2) 5.25" speakers, (2) 6x9" speakers.

Have your battery and alternator checked. Either the battery is old an
isn't holding a charge anymore or the alternator isn't charging it.

Lets say it is the alternator...how much does it cost to replace one of
those? (91' Honda Accord)

It looks like Autozone has an 80 amp unit with a lifetime warranty for $130.
You may want to upgrade to something with some more amps though.

T-Rex, why assume? Most auto parts stores will test them both for free.

Mike, an 80 amps will be fine. My wife's Jetta has a 60 amps it has never
been a problem, even when it was my car and I had 1400 watts of Kicker power
in there.
