[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 2378928, member: 540940"] Bad a$$ freaking boat... So the batteries are several feet from the alt? The wires to the amps may be short, but if you've got 40' of pwr/gnd wire between the alt and batts that's where the voltage is dropping. Even if you have a big alt (which you may on that engine) your amps may only be seeing 13v or so, and probably It would be helpful to know --- 1) what size alt you have (how many amps) 2) what voltage you're getting at the amp terminals under varying conditions -- engine off w/and w/o stereo, engine idling w/and w/o stereo, at ~2k w/and w/o stereo.
