any alternator/battery combo (in good working order) should be able to handle a decent sized system.

i would think that anything less than say... 1500 watts or so shouldnt be too demanding. hell, a good cap and you could prob go bigger than that... how many total watts are your amps drawing?

Make sure your amp(s) arent staying on with the key off. Your remote wire needs to go to a switched ignition source...
If you have more than .030A pulled with the key off, your gonna have problems...

like they said make sure it goes off when the car does and an even better idea is to put a battery in for just the system or sell the system its a honda not an escalade its not supposed to have a system lol but its probably just staying on when car is off because im guessing you dont have enough watts to drain a new battery and alternater
