As far as I know the alternator was with the car when it was new. I bought
it about 3 1/2 years ago, so I am assuming that it was. Should this matter
if I am running relayed power direct from the battery.

I am running a 40x4 deck and a 300w amp. I origionally thought maybe the
stereo was causing this, but turning it off didn't help.

Not to my knowladge it seems to only do this when I am driving. It seems to
happen more when I drive over bumps, which then led me to believe that a
connectioon was loose. Like I said I checked all connections and they still
do it.
