Bronze Member Username: RuckusOh Post Number: 25 Registered: Apr-05 | I have a '84 ford f-250 diesel truck, in it I have 2 12" JL 12w6v2's and a RF T10001bd amp (pushing 700W), I also i have a alpine 4x50W amp for my mids and highs, I have noticed that if I leave my system on for a while when I start to drive I get a bright flash from my headlights and dashlights. This doesnt seem to affect my system preformance, but I was wondering if this had something to do with my alternator, or the regulator for the alternator. I dont want to blow anything up or catch anything on fire. Its seems to stop if I drive for long distances. thanks for the help |

Its a sign that you should look into a HO alternator. Here is a great place for them online. www.excessiveamperage.com www.4alterstart.com |
