[QUOTE="Silver, post: 3247331, member: 554626"] Hey guys, I hooked up my DMM to my system and I'm getting 9 volts when the subs hitting lows. I have a few questions on what I should do and where to start. First of all I have a hifonics bxi1606d. I know its not the best, but from what I hear when they are used properly they will do the job. I'm also running a Alpine MRP-240 for comps. I can turn down settings on my headunit and eliminate volt drops and the amp does not go into protect, but does not even run at optimum specs. Soon as I turn it back to where I listen it to and I start dimming amp shuts off and I have to reset my system (off/on). It will play for about 10mins before it does this though. Its not a instant shut off. Now my question is. Is this they way the amp is? Or the way my electrical system is? I have a stock altrenator that puts out 120amps. 4ga running to the amp, ect. I have a normal battery, no yellow top or anything. Haven't put on any big 3 yet or a altrenator. Last question, would it be worth upgrading my electrical or buying a new amp the does the same power?
