[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8863167, member: 634282"] I did have an older Honda CRV that I had issues with maintaining voltage with an aftermarket amplifier installed. later to find out that the vehicle has an ELD which would kick in while driving lowering the voltage on the vehicle that helps save on fuel consumption. The easiest way I found around that was to add the largest AGM battery under the hood,and do the Big3, and add the largest AGM battery in the rear by the amplifiers,and worked quite well up to 2500 watts approx. went with more power and had issues again and ended up by-passing the ELD with @Keephopealive recommendation and thread on how to conduct the Bypass and never had an issue again. Those A.C. amps are really delicate when it comes to low voltage and shut down as they are designed to do to protect them from damage. It may be of best interest to look into an amplifier that ranges from 9v up to 15v even? Such as these?
