[QUOTE="zane, post: 331222, member: 540617"] blah blah blah blah. I love the way JBL is attempting to play mechanic by blaming a voltage regulator for a poorly designed amp. Likely the regulator is not the cause, as you would notice other things within your car not acting properly first. A voltage regulator's job is to measure and meter the ammount of voltage that can safely pass from the alternator into the cars electronics. Get ahold of a DVM - set it to 12 VDC, and take a voltage test at the battery and at the + terminal of the amplifier. - to ground and + to + in both cases. Your reading should be almost the same at both test points, and if it is between 13.5 -14.7 volts at idle- everything is working correctly. Assuming that your ground, remote, speaker, and RCA wires are all correct. Amplifier is faulty if your charging system passes this test. take it easy, -zane Assuming that your ground, remote, speaker, and RCA wires are all correct. [/QUOTE]
