[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8694688, member: 678581"] How were the speakers wired before? 4 Ohm? How is your Vmeter connected? Direct to battery or connected to the vehicle harness somewhere? (Is it on at all times or does it turn off when you turn the car off?) Turn the car on - Check voltage at front and rear batteries, then also at your amp with no sound. You should be seeing about 13.8-14.4VDC. If you see less than that, its a good sign that your Alt is dying. (This is common with stock alts on 1000W+ systems) If you see any connection where the voltage drop is more than 0.1-0.2 VDC different than the front battery than you need to check grounds. After completing the steps above let us know your results and we can guide you from there. [/QUOTE]
