So tonight I decided to use my DMM on my set up,
Running a 105amp alt (stock, '99 Chevy Malibu)
4gauge power/ground
no big 3 yet
Amp: Alpine MRX-M100 (2ohms 1000watts)
Subwoofer: Alpine type R 12" (2ohms)
I put the probes in the Positive/Negative of the amp to get a reading, it idled at about 14.50ish, then once I wen't full tilt the meter went from 13.45-14.50 on the drops ect. But my lights still dimmed, is it damaging right now if its still doing about 13.45-14.50 meter? I know its not good but until I get the big 3 it should be okay for now right?
