[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 7112245, member: 550915"] How's your wiring? What size is your power wiring to the amps? Are you using a chassis ground or a dedicated return wire? Have you done the big-3? No other upgrades or changes are going to matter if the wiring itself isn't up to the task. You didn't say whether the amps were Class A/B or D but based on the fact that none of them are mono amps, I'll assume that they are Class A/B. If so I would recommend either a single 1/0 power wire to a distro block and 4ga to each amp or a dedicated 4ga from the battery for each amp. The 1/0 will give you less resistance and would be my preference. Whatever you do for the (+), do the same for the (-). Upgrade the Big-3 as well and then reassess your situation. I'd venture to guess that fixing the wiring, both (+) and (-) will mostly solve your problem. [/QUOTE]
