I took my car to a local shop and the tested it, and the lowest my voltage went was 12.1 while idle, and they told me that the amp was defective, bc even at that voltage the amp shouldnt go into protect. so they told me i had to finish the big 3 and they wanted to charge me $50 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif so i said no. so i took it to a place and they did it for 20. anyways, since i did that the amp hasnt gone into protect, so im going bump around to see what happens. just thought id let you guys no

So is it playing a lot louder now?

Your voltage at idle seems very low at 12.1 that's below where my batts sit when just resting without my truck started then when I start my truck up both batts stay around 14.6volts you might have a bad batt. Batts arnt supposed to be that low

when u put them under load and the alt cant keep up they drop below 12.6 and 12.1 is low this means your alt isnt keeping up which is going to make your batterys low which will make your alt work really hard eventually killing both of them
