[QUOTE=">>SQL<<, post: 7548946, member: 633661"] This is my first time running high power non-regulated amps. In the past I always ran JL Audio Slash amps and before that I only ran a few hundred watts (think back in the day) So I just hooked up my first high power (non-regulated) system last night. I have a volt meter installed in the car. If I keep the gain at less than 1/2 way on the Sub Amp (Fosgate T10001BD) the voltage stays above 13 (12.5 on long hard bass lines) What voltage do I need to stay above in order to be safe? I have the Big 3 done, I have an HO Alt but have not installed it yet. Also I know we talk about how capacitors do very little but about larger ones? I have a 15 fared AlumaPro sitting in my closet, would one of that size be helpful? What voltage is safe to drop to before I need to grab the volume and turn it down? Plus it is not easy driving and watching a volt meter. thank you [/QUOTE]
