Help with drop in volts

[Jonathan37334]

Hello , have a question but first off my setup . 2 sundown ns-v6 15in subs 3k rms, 1 salt -4 sundown 4k rms watt amp, 200amp/hrs audio battery, 350 Amp alt added along with I think 195 Amp factory alt,all 0 gauge ,2 400 Amp fuses , 8cuft box 32 htz . I'm running at 16.2 volts and I have a 6volt drop when slapping very hard (10.6v). I believe I know the issue but see if anyone can confirm my suspension.

Grounding issue?

I think you should check your voltage with something else. 16.2 volts would destroy your battery(AGM) and that Salt amp would not turn on at that voltage. They protect at 15.5 volts.

Agreed...

2 sundown ns-v6 15in subs 3k rms, 1 salt -4 sundown 4k rms watt amp,

I'd suggest adding power but user foilbiles apply... I'd power a pair of Nsv-6 15's with something like 8K+ myself

Once again expectations meet reality

The amp is 4k rms 8000@ 1ohm

The bass knob that came with amp shows voltage at 16.2 then same om both my meters but I have audio battery and 350 amp alt together going to amp and the truck battery and factory alt are together both are separated

What's crazy is my favorite song that I use to test the system hits fine no problem but goto another song and it goes to protect

I'm breaking them in with one salt-4 now then add another later

And what might this audio battery be?


Salt 4k
Operation Voltage : DC 9V - 15.5V Power Input

Bro that's a UPS/Solar battery. NOT a car audio battery. Literally says 14.8 volts MAX right on the side of the battery...
