Voltmeter

[bbeljefe]

Very funny, but my voltmeter is not to attract girls, my system is for my pleasure, I don't care of no one else opinion inside my car. I'm asking because I want to connect it right and monitor the right voltage of my car's electrical system.

I understand. And that's why the only sentence in my post that was meant to be humorous is the last one.

Connect the meter at the amp because that's where voltage drops will hurt your system's performance the most. And then, if you see voltage drops... address the problem rather than re-wiring the meter to somewhere else.

Ok, Thank you.

you know they make a inline fuse box with volt meter.... their like 20 bucks!!! that would probably be useful and keep both volt meters...

I thought it was inside the car. That one is not convenient for me.

I did the test. I measure the voltage with the DMM at the bass amp while playing music at loud volume. Now I think I know why the bass is stopping and when I lower the hu volume the bass resumes, the DMM was reading low 9v , I also noticed that only the bass stops hitting and the amp is still on but the protect light is not on. I also haven't connected my new xs battery in the trunk yet, might do it tomorrow. But the question is:

1- Is this normal?

2- Is that voltage causing the bass to stop hitting? If yes, what can I do to fix this besides connecting the battery in the trunk?

i have had that but usually when it happened the protect light flashed on then back off... nothing you can do other than up grade elec. batt. and so forth... less power, 4Ω it...

mines hooked up to the battery in the back.

i have an isolator,so mines hooked to that one to make sure im charging back there too.
