[QUOTE="66novals3, post: 8553765, member: 672504"] First off, thank you all so much for the replies, I really appreciate it! I'm getting sick of working on this more than enjoying it after dumping all this money into it. I DID NOT have any of these issues prior to the stereo installation. Big 3 is not done per say. The factory cables have been upgraded to 2/0 cable. 2 engine grounds in 2/0, 4 gauge from engine to frame and 4 gauge from engine to chassis (those 3 are integrated into 2/0 from engine) the amp ground is 1 gauge but they used 2 stainless self taping screws for ground. Is that standard practice? Seems cheesy. They did clean it down to bare metal. I have ohmed out all the cables and they check in at. 1 ohm. Scrapping the alternators at this point is not an option. Hindsight is 20/20 but I have too much into this to throw away that much money. Bottom line, I cannot scrap all of this and start over, I don't have the funds to do so. If you guys had what I have what would you do to correct this issue?? At this point I maintain 14.2-14.3 while driving with the system maxed. After Coming to a stop with volume at medium it will drop to 12.8-13.5 & it takes a bit to get back up there. Again, I hit 1,000 rpm and boom, 14.2v [/QUOTE]
