The white box you circled is the Super Multiple Junction (SMJ). It connects the body harness to the engine harness that runs under the front left fender.

Behind the SMJ is a plurality of blue/white relays according to the options you have.

I recommend taking the vehicle to a qualified technician and get your alternator checked. They will check for alternator output and see if it's within range.

So I took it into Autozone and he checked the battery. Apparently my alternator is not charging my battery at all. He said it could be because of the system I have in my car...Specifically just because I have an Infinity Kappa Perfect DVQ sub and a Kenwood 1900 watt amp supplying the power to it..Do you think this could be the reason? Even though my stereo has been completely off for the past two days.

I went to leave Autozone, the battery was completely shot. So he boosts it for me, and then I get to leaving and there is a four way stop right there. I pull out to turn left, and half way thru the intersection my car just DIES! lol.

So I had to push it down the street and wait for my brother to come and tow me home...

He said to look at getting a high output alternator, but if I just replace the alternator itself do you think that will fix the problem??
