Too low for me is 13.5v. But I'm picky. Big 3 is something you should do even if you don't have a system. Factory grounds are deplorable.

I don't even have my system in yet, so I don't know what it's going to drop to yet. It'll be a alpine 1000 watt amp. I'm guessing there's going to be some kind of drop, so I'm just trying to plan ahead I guess.
