[QUOTE="OCTundraManJJ, post: 8440912, member: 667726"] so my amp is installed in a 2008 toyota tundra. I know the alt. puts out 100 amps 2 12 inch infinity reference 1260w 4 ohm SVC amplifier is a avionixx cxa 1220 200 rms x2 at 4 ohms 310 rms x2 at 2 ohms 620 rms x1 at 4 ohms have true 4 guage wire running to battery and ground as well sanded rear seat bolt and grounded there with the. even added a 4 guage ground wire from my battery to engine bay frame. same spot as factory uses just 4 guage wire instead of 16 guage they toyota uses. i have both woofers hooked up in bridge mode on the amp 2 sets of wire 1 going to each woofer so im splitting us the 600 rms into 300 rms to each woofer. i honestly think the amp puts out more then 600 rms x1 at 4 ohms sounds awesome and really moves some air for what it is. But the amp gets hot really fast and i see a major voltage drop. my bettery guage on my dash cluster is litteraly jumping up and down and my head lights dim out as well. WTF am i doing wrong. i have ran a 900 rms Rock Fos in a civic and no issues what so ever!! what am i doing wrong guys???? please help BTW i am new here and hope everyone is doing well. thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
