alright will do this would be the third time replacing it if its bad although it never did this before. and since i have a stereo to you think a 220 amp alt would help? or completely make it better?

What kind of "stereo" do you have? More specifically, how many watts output total are you using?

i have 1 760 watt pioneer on my 2 10's and i got one 650 watt pioneer on my 6x9's and my door speakers

Yeah test the charging system you may have a week alt. I noticed my lights would do the same thing after my LS swap running the P75 ECU. Once I had the car tuned on the P28 ECU the issue went away. Dont think that since you have replaced the alternator that it is not bad. On my 89 Accord LXi I went threw 3 Checker now O Reilly alternators before finally getting one from BAP.

yea this is my 3rd alt since i put the system in it never did this before but oh well i guess ill check it out and do u know where i can get a higher amperage alt thats not super exspensive but not super junk ?
