I also tried changing the rca's, checked all connections, took the subs out put it on the dmm and both subs read .9

Battery voltage at idle is 14.44... any HELP!

It really wouldnt be worth it...its noticeably lower...somethin is up....radio is ok since we tested with mine as well...voltage is not the same as before only dipping to 12s(11s prior)...maybe amp...dk...he'll figure it out hopefully:crazy:
