[QUOTE="procharger, post: 15694101, member: 49828"] Something to think about, how is your aftermarket amp wired for power, have you physical checked voltage at battery terminal/alternator or are you taking reading from handheld? I'm a Raymond Level 2 Technician, Battery/Electrical issues is what I deal with 5 days a week, ideally equipment that runs on a battery when load testing you don't want to loose anything more 2.5 volts. As for cars everything is 12v maybe a couple things that require more like boost pumps @ 13v. Upgrading your alternator with a Good/Tested/Reviewed brand is the best thing you could do for your car. Adding an capacitor in-line for your amp is a big help, as well as getting a battery(AGM) to store all the amps. High power alternators on a regular batteries will cook the cells.
