[QUOTE="Crownvicon28s, post: 6637689, member: 602517"] finally got my problem somewhat solved. my trunk wasn't sealed from where I had to bend the trunk lid to get my box in. I bent the trunk lid back the way it was, tapped another hole and replaced the bolt that was stripped out holding the trunk lid down. The problem was that my trunk wasn't sealed and I was loosing a lot of air from the leak. this caused it not to be as loud in the cabin, so I turned the gain up a little higher to compensate; this in turn cause cause the amp to clip and draw more current causing my voltage drop a lot. Also added a slightly smaller pulley. Holding ~12.8 at my bass amp now. Should be higher but I'm satisfied. It's also noticeably louder. Might still go with another alt down the road though. [/QUOTE]
