[QUOTE="dragon.breath, post: 8863745, member: 582656"] I don’t know if you have picked up on this yet but at that power level, you may also need to run a ground wire from the front battery to the rear battery. People think that the body of the car is huge compared to a piece of wire and should be able to carry almost unlimited amounts of current. But it’s not true. A modern unibody car is tack welded together then seam sealed. My friend’s Maxima was losing 1.1 volts under load between the front and rear batteries at around 3200 watts rms total. We added his old 4 gauge wire as a ground between batteries and the drop went from 1.1v to .4v. [/QUOTE]
