Need Help?

Ok i will ground them to the battery. But i got the numbers again and it was only about .1 volt different from the front battery to the back battery
Well don't move the grounds yet, it's possible you may not have to, though I suspect you will. Play something, and play it loud. See what your rear voltage drops to (but don't let it drop under 12V, turn it down if you need to). Then play the same exact thing, at the same volume, but measure and watch voltage on your front battery this time.

Yeah pretty certain it's your ground. Ground amps to battery, ground battery to a different location. Look for a main part of the car, possibly the floor or a piece of the frame or anything that's a main piece. Don't ground off a smaller piece that's been either bolted or spot welded, like where you have it. And remember to grind off the paint on both sides.

 
Ok i will try that out and let you know how it goes

i grounded the 2 amps to the battery and it is still having the same problem. Do you think that my wire from the front battery could just be to small?

Ya im sure the connections are fine but im looking at the wire and im not sure it is true 4 guage

Got a pic? But yeah, could very well be your front ground. What do those connections look like to the frame? Just to be sure, you sure your positive run and it's connections are fine?
 
run 0 gauge for the big 3. run 0 gauge to teh battery in the rear. use 0 gauge for the positive and ground connections on the amp. and use 0 gauge for the rear battery ground. 4 gauge isnt gonna help much
