[QUOTE="Slayer16102, post: 8720853, member: 676644"] Okay so to better understand what all I am saying that is going on with this car when it has the amp connected I have recorded some videos and uploaded them. Hopefully someone can tell me why this is happening or how to fix it. Remember that without the amp connected the car pulls 14.28v constantly. This first one here is with the amp gain all the way down running idle and watching the DIC voltage display [MEDIA=youtube]1L6Y1c6eLNI[/MEDIA] This next one is checking the voltage at night before driving home from work. [MEDIA=youtube]gDJ-V95_oUE[/MEDIA] This one here is how the voltage reads with the car being driven in stop and go traffic home from work with the amp connected with only 400 watts (28.28v). Sorry its a long video, but I wanted to show you what happens with the amp connected. The voltage goes up as I drive, but as soon as I slow down or let off the gas the voltage drops. Forgive the shakiness my car is cammed and heavily modified so it shakes like crazy. The longer I sit in a drive thru or in a spot idle the more the voltage will drop overtime. [MEDIA=youtube]cKjmp1cuAwg[/MEDIA] Is that voltage fluctuation normal in a corvette or should I have the car checked by an electrical expert to find out what is going on. There is no way 400w should be making the car start at 10.9v with rough idles. [/QUOTE]
