[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8556108, member: 665412"] run a ground directly to the amp, or to the same bolt your amp ground is on and check the stock battery. you dont have a lot of reserve or capacitance and an older stock battery will have even less as boomin said feel the wires when you're dropped to the 11s and see whats hot. also why is your alternator 4 pin plug disconnected, and what size is the alternator wiring? if you have a 350a alternator you need a direct run from alt to batt to amp of 1/0 or greater you also need a direct 1/0 from the alternator to the battery, block, and chassis (4ga might be fine because of redundancy) [/QUOTE]
