[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8647114, member: 675210"] Thanks to anyone that is helping. The Vehicle is a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0L. It is fully loaded which is why it had the "High Output" factory 136 amp alternator. This is one of the years that Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep put the voltage regulator in the computer instead of in the alternator or externally on a firewall or fender. To the others... I am not being "hard headed" or a "Know it all", I was asking opinions and was met with condescending remarks and assumptions about what I know, don't know, what I have or have not done. So if it looks like I am hard headed because I am arguing with ignorant comments then I am sorry you feel that way. Hopefully any useful information can be seen by any other readers with similar issues or questions. I am not an SPL competitor and could care less about trying to impress anyone else with how loud my woofers get. I am a person that after I trouble shoot something and get stumped, I will ASK someone who also knows what they are talking about. I may be having a brain fart, over looked something or may just not know. So getting opinions is a good thing and can be helpful. If you hit 145+ db then good for you. Not my goal, however, before I got rid of my JBL 12's I hit 139db at a friendly local meet in Columbus Ohio in this very same vehicle. No extra batteries, different amps (Alpine) and the stock alternator with the same cap I have now. On to my issue or missed item when I trouble shot the system BEFORE I posted. It was a ground issue. The 0awg ground from the alternator case to the battery negative was loose on the alternator case from the last time I freshened up my connections. Basically the only solid ground to the battery at that point was a factory 4awg wire... and it was getting warm. I missed it because it is a pain to see/reach. Simple mistake that ANYONE could make. Voltage is stable now. I'd like to apologize if I offended anyone and I would like to squash it if you are cool with it... if not, it is what it is. My old subs and enclosure that I built, tuned to 27.5hz roughly. It weighed over 200lbs with the subs installed which is one of the reasons I downsized to a single 12, then to a single 10. I'm just not a basshead anymore. I like bass but I am happy just hearing the music now. [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c140/mwh5150/Resized_20160828_002340_zpsmiprgja3.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
