[QUOTE="j_1990, post: 8269343, member: 661304"] Hello everyone. I have 2 sundown audio sd-2 10 inch subs with a kicker zxs 1500.1 amp. 1500 watts rms total. I have a high output 250 amp alternator from mike singer. I have the big 3 done in 0 gauge wire. Also i have an oreillys battery 750cca under the hood. Its not an agm batt. Now my problem is when i turn my system up and the bass hits i see my voltage dropping real low on my dash gauge. Like on some bass notes it drops to 10v. I have tried to add a second stinger battery but that did me no good so i returned it. I emailed mike and asked for some advice and he recommends me adding an alternator ground to the - battery terminal. Waiting for the wire to come in the mail. Just wondering if anyone here might know if the extra ground wire will fix this or if there is something else that is needed. Oh yeah and the vehicle is an 89 chevy truck. Ground and power wire from amp are good. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
