[QUOTE="Crownvicon28s, post: 6401245, member: 602517"] when im driving with my music up my voltage drops from 13.8 to 12.5 volts at the lowest full tilt. i have a stock rewound 200 amp alt. i have industial 1/0 awg wire. its like the wire used to wire houses. its very stiff. idk if the wire is not able to carry the current or what. i recently upgraded from 2k to 3k rms. i had 2 rums of 4 gauge a redtop upfront and a spv35 an kinetik800 in the back. it would never drop elow 13 volts. i have bigger wire bigger batts and more of a voltage drop from only upgrading 1k. are these amps that current hungry or is it my electrical? what is the problem: a) need name brand ho alt. b) need more batteries c) need to switch or add more runs of wire. d) other i want to make sure that whatever i spend my money on fixes the problem. my setup is in my sig. thanks in advance.
