[QUOTE="jellyfish420, post: 578309, member: 555729"] i checked my voltage today and @ battery it was 14.4 idle. when i cranked the system up the lowest it dropped was 14.1. the question is...if my voltage doesn't drop is there still a possibility that the current is dropping down to far. i installed a new(bigger) amp the other day, and it just doesn't seem to be hitting as hard. could it be drawing too much current and is there any way of checking current? also i measured the rca voltage, and it was only .1V could this be another reason that my amp doesn't seem to put out what it should. would going to a H/U with say 4V preouts be any louder? one more question, does anyone know the formula to take the output volts from the amp and figure out the watts?
