bad alternator? or too much power drain?
i have a '93 GLT with 328000 miles on it, and i have it pretty loaded up as far as electronic accessories go.
i have some aftermarket driving lights hooked up(55W), a subwoofer and amplifier (600W), as well as a 3 way splitter for the 12V outlet, i have a radar detector, some dash lights, and a CB Radio hooked up to it.
My problem i have, is that when im idling, i can notice that my lights flicker every time there is a bass hit, or if i put in the clutch while cruising, sometimes it will idle way down, and almost stall before catching itself. but with the engine revved above idle, it all seems fine.
would this just be a weak alternator? or am i simply pulling too much power from it?
