[QUOTE="FenixAudio, post: 6826033, member: 622195"] ****, a 1.2volt increase is alot. you must of had some old a$$ wire on there to start. as far a idle current, you should be fine with 60 or higher unless you have more then 2 massive amps. your car doesnt use much current once started. the only way a 20ampre increase at idle is going to matter is if you sit ata light for 30 minutes with your highbeams on, wipers, horn blairing, radio all the way up and rolling your windows up and down over and over again while locking and unlocking your doors, and having the ac on at full tilt. then it will matter oh and you will need to be hitting the brakes at the same time. either then that you will be fine. now if you are planning on havinga comp build or a highout put show peice then it will matter. but for ever day listeneing you will be fine. how longto you really idle anyway?
