sounds like your alternator isnt charging I would go to autozone and have them check your alternator they do that for free but you fix that you should be ok you might want to get a powermaster battery or stinger battery and you should be good you shouldnt need to upgrade your alt with only about 800 watts of power. But you might consider a battery upgrade like I said but I think it sounds like your alternator is bad O and make sure you upgrade your wires that will make a big difference too
