[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8798478, member: 634282"] Another possibility that came to mind as I took a smoke break and thinking. Considering you are still running a stock alternator with a pretty much stock lead battery with that amplifier.. I think those stock alternators are maybe 120 or 140 amp? Id have to look at my 14 2500HD.Running that amp on that Alt and stock battery, it could be a possibility that the regulator could be on its way out running it hard since Feb, and time for a new Alt as well?At Idle of 600 rpms you are not going to be able to keep up with that amplifier supply, and maybe not even at 1500 rpms especially with the charging wire of approx 5 ft from the Alternator on the drivers side to the passenger side cab area where that battery sits with the 4ga existing wiring.You should be running 2 agm batteries of at least 34/78s with 800CA and 950-1k CCA and 0ga Big3 and supply and ground for the demand on a 140 stock alternator minimum.IMHO and experiencing [/QUOTE]
