[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 5943893, member: 541383"] reason the amp gets hot is because its drawing more current to make up for the lack of voltage. When you are running stock electrical + big3 i would get a better battery and make sure its a DECENT size I just had a buddy add a HC1200 in back to his D1200 that is upfront to stop his amps from going thermal. If he were going one battery he should have went HC1800 or D3400. Also didnt help that his 0 ga wire was really somewhere between a 4 and 2 with enough insulation to insulate 3x the length of wire he had LOL...if you spend $1000's+ on your audio gear its a good idea to spend the $30-50 bucks in good wire and ~$100 or so more on a proper battery. His old battery the amps wouldn't shut down but it would dim more at a moderate volume and less at max volume. Caps can slow down light dimming but they really won't do much for the audio system on that level. Another thing you can look into is an MLA (Missing Link Audio) harness to see if they make one for your alt. It bumps up your voltage a tad. [/QUOTE]
