[QUOTE="photocrazy8, post: 1763317, member: 566925"] ok, so your playing your system at full tilt... thats about 80 per viper 1200 amp and 25 of the 200.4, and we will go about 40 for your car to run stock stuff. so add it up....80+80+25+40= 225, and your alt is only rated at 150-160 at idle...so there is your voltage drop. when your amps want to draw too many amps from the alt then the voltage drops, when it gets down to about 12.x it starts to draw off your battery, putting stress on your alt and battery. so at this rate of you playing it at fullt tilt and dropping to like 10.x as your say your gonna melt down your alt and kill your battery. also check your gains so your not over drawing them or cliping them. you need more alt (second one), or more batteries. more batteries would act as a buffer between the amps and the alt giveing more time to play your system at full tilt b4 you drop voltage that low.
