[QUOTE="RickyRoss91, post: 8128081, member: 652547"] Hey everyone, So, I've recently added the new fi x 10, run by a jl 500/1 and door speakers by rf p500.4, driving on highway system cranked hits pretty hard and voltage doesn't drop. But driving through town voltage may drop into 12.5 at the lowest only depending on how fast I'm driving. So I know the jl isn't a super efficient amp, don't really want to spend a bunch of money on new amp even though I'd like to put more power to the sub. So I was thinking either get new amp that is more efficient or get a yellow top battery if it will help with keeping voltage more steady. I did add another 8 guage wire from alt to battery and grounded neg battery post to engine bay. Any helpful input is always good, thanks [/QUOTE]
