[QUOTE="robertoyoung08, post: 7189023, member: 613565"] [B]OP BACK IN HERE!!!![/B] alright. so thanks everyone for replying. ive been reading every single post to make sure i get the most out of this thread and so i can figure out wtf is up with my electrical. to sic audio: thanks for all the help and dont worry about the "jacked thread" lol. it happends all the time. however, i would like to figure out my voltage problem. we should all team up and come up with a sticky for electrical systems once we get together a good procedure and after we figure mine out hah. thanks to sexy, knetik and everyone else who has replied. ive been taking everything into consideration. so i agree with all u guys that a h/o alt is not absolutely necessary. not for the power im running, i know its a lot of power but a lot of u made good points with saying that i dont need a ho alt or that its the fix to my system. i agree the big 3 should and will be done. but i want to know what other tests i should do to check my electrical. after a few hours of battery resting, when i start my car it meters at 14 volts. once i start cranking the stereo it goes down and after a while even if i turn it off it wont go back up to 14 volts unless i let it rest for a while. this weekend i am going to redo my grounds on my amps. i kno they are not the best grounds. when i bought the kinetik i metered it out of the box and it measured at 12.7 volts idk how to check if my alternator is going bad or how check if its putting out its full potential though. i also COMPLETELY agree with those of you who said that a lot of us just assume that when electrical is not up to parr, that we (wont exclude anyone, or point anyone out) start suggesting to get a h/o alt or more/bigger batts, but that shouldnt always be the case, i kno we are pushing our power limits on stock alts and what not, but there should be steps and tests we should be able to do BEFORE going out and buying new batteries and expensive alternators. again thanks a ton to everyone, hope you guys can keep giving me ideas on what to do to figure this out. il definitely post my final results once i figure it out for future referance of anyone. its a little frustrating not knowing where to start to fix it and even more when thinking im going to have to go and buy all this expensive extra equipment that i wasnt expecting.
