[QUOTE="boatben, post: 6963190, member: 625273"] I have 2 everstart deep cycle batteries. I think they're about 2 years old, but with minimal use. I set the perko switch to the 2 position when the engine is off so the 2 amps are only running off 1 battery. I put the battery charger on it yesterday and the one that runs my amps is at 75%, so I turned on the stereo and turned it up and sure enough both amps were cutting out at high volumes which leads me to believe it may be a grounding issue...hopefully. The boat is an Advantage 21 SR bowrider and it has V8 Mercruiser EFI 5.7L. I THINK it's a 70amp alternator. Do you think I should replace the "0" gauge wire that came with the kit with true 0 gauge for the power and ground? Keep in mind the power and ground are both long runs, about 18Ft each. [/QUOTE]
