[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8533168, member: 650438"] - invest in a volt meter that will run directly from your sub amp to the front dash. - put in all your gear first and get it going/set properly/push it. Then you can see how your voltages drop. If they are dipping into 11s, you'll need the big 3 upgrade first of all. If its still dipping low, best course of action would be an alternator upgrade, a new one costs 450+, an alternator rebuild/beef up would be around 150 give or take. - Other option (after big 3 upgrade) if your voltages are low and you are tight on cash, Get a secondary battery. This should help your voltage keep above 12.6/12.8. Its a band aid solution but it'll hold up for a few years just fine. - If you have everything playing and you are keeping above 12.6/12.8 stock then you have no need to upgrade to be honest.
