[QUOTE="pzaully, post: 3137268, member: 577886"] Just an update. I hooked up an epic 150 to the setup (mainly just for the voltage readout heh) and the amp is seeing 13.0v at idle playing music at full tilt and 13.7v above 1.8k rpms playing music at full tilt. At the amps power terminals it sees the same thing, but dips down a bit more for just a sec then back up. I've got a cap I can install that should fix that momentary dip. Worked out well in the end I guess. Also I noticed that when I leave my car off for more than 8 hours or so then start the vehicle, the alternator puts out 14.3v for around 10 minutes then drops to 13.8v. Think thats its regulator attempting to charge the battery or something? It's extremely consistent in doing this, just seems odd I guess. pzaully [/QUOTE]
