maybe your alternator is going. the AC is a big power drain and your battery might not be holding a charge anymore, which would cause it to stall. most battery shops do free alternator/battery tests

I did have some problems before with my car stalling when I had my big system and then it went away by itself.

But about a week ago my car just started to stall like it was running out of gas but my gauge was still on quarter tank and I did have to put in like 16 gallons and I do have a check engine light on but I think its because of my Y-Pipe maybe the 02 sensor or something.
