[T3] Not enough power for radio

[Brian Schlepp <bschlepp@thermoformingsystems.com>]

I have had similar problems with other accessories, but never the
radio.
Have you checked all the grounds?  That seems to be the usuall
culprit.
Is your regulator OK?
I tend to think that your problem is in your stereo wiring, not the
charging system, but that is just my opinion.
I have a large amp (300-500 watts...cant remember) and a subwoofer,
and it does not effect anything as much as my euro headlights do.  I
was concerned about this when I installed the stereo, so I took
measurements at the battery with engine idling.  I noticed that the
stereo was a very small draw (correct terminology?...measuring volts),
and the largest draw was the headlights.
Hope this helps.
