Cars dead! HELP
I recently hooked up an amp (300 watts) and two 10 inch subs to my car. now my battery is dead. I was playing the system for about 15 minutes but didnt have the car running. Are you never suppose to play a system with the car off? (as the alternater cannot charge the battery)? Well my second question is I must now jump my car off some one elses, do I have to unhook my amp from the positive terminal of the battery to prevent damage to my amp, or to the fuse on the power wire? Thanks

Re: Cars dead! HELP
sounds like your battery has crapped out. i would sugguest an optima yellow top. no you don't have to disconnect anything.

Re: Cars dead! HELP

don't know if that is the cheapest you can find them, but i really like PE. they usually have the package delivered two days after you order.

Re: Cars dead! HELP
A really dead battery may put such a large instantaneous strain on the good car that it could drop the voltage low enough to damage the computer or other sensitive electrical components. It can't damage that stuff if the car is off.
