Some story of how things happened.

My mom's car has been running this ICE thingy for about 10 years, before passing the car to me in 2010, the car started to have issue on not able to start up and need to jump start the battery in order to start, upon checking by the workshop people, it was the alternator that is malfunctioned, problem then solved after replacing with a new one.

Once i got the car and driving from 2010-2013, the alternator is having issue again and replacing a new one solve the issue as well, and right now at the moment i'm facing this issue also.

The car is a Proton Wira 1.5 if its a concern.

The setup is 2 amp, 2 small sub (10-12" i think), 4 speakers, 2 tweeters. (i not sure how to explain the proper map structure for the setup as i do not have knowledge on how ICE work, my mom is clueless too.)

The alternator can only supply amount of current it can produce. If it can supply only 1A, then your ICE can only get 1A. Either the ICE sound is distorted or you cannot get the volume you wanted.

Maybe the alternator you replaced is not good like low quality alternative or just plain unlucky laugh.gif
