[QUOTE="shizzzon, post: 7448921, member: 590338"] I tell you what, if your voltage is dropping below 13.0v, YES! You can do this test yourself to see the difference- Take either a long set of jumper cables or a very long run of power wire. (this will take 2 people if not using jumper cables) On one end, connect to ground location that you have your amp grounded at(to the bolt for example) On the other end, connect it to the ground post directly on starting battery. Now, before you do what i said above.. do this- Turn on vehicle and jam for abour 3-5minutes at maximum volume you listen to it at then let vehicle idle. At this time, measure voltage at starting battery, then at amp's terminals, see the difference? Now, if there was a noticeable difference, do what i said above then remeasure... If you had a difference before, you will either not or have extremely low difference now. [/QUOTE]
