[QUOTE="Jaames93, post: 8695546, member: 678662"] Another question. Is it worth me upgrading my starter battery? It’s the battery that came with the car, nothing special, I believe it’s just a cheap OEM Spec battery which is 70aH, will this help my voltage drop issue? Haven’t got round to doing the big 3 yet cause the weather has been so bad here and I have no shelter to work under, I have however run a 2awg battery to chassis as that was easily accessible and quick to do with a break in the weather. My peak volume is 27 before any distortion, at 23 my voltage was around 12.3-12.8, however knock the volume down to 20 and it sits happily at 13.8-14. Crank the volume up to 27 and the subs cut in and out, my voltage meter is showing 11.9 before it cuts. Would a bad battery cause voltage drops or is it purely alternator related? The alternator is a stock 120A and you can’t get HO alternators for my car unless you get custom brackets fabricated etc, I’ve rang so many company’s and it’s proving difficult. [/QUOTE]
