[QUOTE="Millertime1028, post: 7058971, member: 585133"] ^ In the case of the OP, Considering the power he is running a better ground connection will only help the amp pull it's current from the alt more efficiently. He will intern STILL need a bigger alt. If it was a bad ground connection his amp would cut before he would see that major voltage drop up front in which that is where he is testing the voltage at. The current alt he has seems it can not support the load of the extra batt sufficiently. Once the reserve of the batts trickle down @ full tilt due to insuffient amperage his voltage can surely dip into the 10v range because of this. IMO A bad ground can be a factor but not the reason in the OP's case. [/QUOTE]
