Too much power for my car!

Hey everyone, I bought an audiobahn 2400 rms watt amp and a audiobahn immortal 15" 2250 rms sub and I have a kole 2.5 cap. Within 3 months my car just kept dying due to the capacitor being messed up (later found out). I have a stock 120 alternator, that I replaced and the amp has not been on it yet. I really only use about 400-500 watts when i'm driving it (I didn't realize how much power 2000 watts were). What are the best ways to make it so it won't die on me anymore.

well first of all that 2400 watt amp isnt even putting out half that amount of power RMS I can assure you of that. As far as your car dying I would say your alternator/battery combo needed to be replaced anyways. Those things just get old and die after a few years of being abused. I would change both if you havnt changed your battery already and you should be fine.

How do you know it's not putting out that many watts?

I have a 900 watt fuse in the wiring thing that goes to my battery and when I turn it up about half way the fuse dies.
