[QUOTE="tpmeredith, post: 7253196, member: 625173"] Perhaps not an "audible" difference but definitely measurable and is definitely necessary for H/O alternators or just expanding the life of your amps (if you have voltage drops). Which is why before my big 3 upgrade I had drops below 10v (yes horrible) and now it doesn't go below 12. I still plan on getting a 2nd battery and H/O alt but that's a 2v difference at full tilt. You may say that doesn't affect sound, but shorting my amp 2v not only kills the lifespan by overheating it, but will in turn make less watts. In turn it really depends on the setup you have, the car you have, and how much power you're pulling. Overall for what 30 bux, it's the cheapest, quickest, and easiest thing you can do short of turning the volume down to help voltage drops. It may not always be the one-all solution but I'd start with that before spending hundreds on other solutions. [/QUOTE]
