[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 1749663, member: 548221"] Like Headless mentioned, get a real voltmeter and measure voltage at the battery, ALT and amp (forget the cap has a voltmeter for the time being) Make SURE ALL places have the same voltage reading with and with out load. Lots of folks jump to conclusions without all the facts and make statements that have no value if the facts are not listed. If the front battery is reading VERY different, your problem is your installation of the amp, if the voltage is the same, you have issues with the charging system. Also - what is the Battery voltage with car off? if low a good over night trickle charge would be a smart move some vehicles have voltage regulators that have a delay in them to avoid spikes, I am not sure if that model has it, but it is common on Ford Trucks, that could be something as well, but I would think Dom is aware of this.
