so, pos at amp with neg at battery is 12.5
and neg at amp, pos at battery is 12.5 also?

correct

run straight to the amp, take out the block and try it.

if i put the leads on the d-block itself i get the low 10.9 reading....does this mean that the connection from the batt to the d-block is the likely culprit?

Yes. Is it 10.9 at the input and output of the d-block? If it is at both, its most likely the connection between the wire and the input of the d-block. Also could possible be at the battery term as well but that is less likely of a possibility.

ill try that next....unfortunately i have to be to work in less than an hour or id do it right now....jus one quick question tho b4 i go......since the 20.1 is getting the same voltage but not going into protect does that just mean that the other amp (cadence) is just more sensitive to the low voltage input?

thanks for everyones help too btw

but if the block is the bottleneck, how is he getting 12.5 with the pos at the amp, neg at battery?

You are reading it backwards. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Its 12.9 pos on batt and neg at amp. Amp is grounded to batt so it makes sense.

Yes. the 20.1 is pretty bullet proof, but I wouldnt recommend doing it for long periods of time.

I see. I misread your post, but I that is what I took his post to mean.

And to the OP, yes it means it it/was a loose connection. Make sure they are all tight.
