[QUOTE="HPLouis, post: 16053731, member: 5445"] Hi, My car has 15K miles and is stock except for wheels, exhaust and an aftermarket radio system. The alternator is going out so I'm gonna remove it and get it rebuilt. I don't want to go down this road again in several months so I'm wondering if the radio could have caused the alternator to go. The car has a Jensen VX7020 head unit: [URL='http://jensenmobile.com/mobile-multimedia/_sku_VX7020.html']Jensen : Mobile Multimedia : VX7020[/URL] It also has a PowerAcoustik Gothic GT5-2500 amp: [URL='http://poweracoustik.com/product/gt5-2500/']GT5-2500 | PowerAcoustik[/URL] And Infinity Kappa 682.11 CF speakers: [URL='https://www.infinityspeakers.com/factory-refurbished/KAPPA+682.11CF.html']Infinity KAPPA 682.11CF | 6" x 8" Coaxial Car Speaker[/URL] I'm wondering if I should remove the stereo set up and put the stocker back on. It's not like I'm a radio guy anyway so I wouldn't miss much but if it's not a problem, I'd rather not go through of the trouble of removing all the wiring. Thanks [/QUOTE]
