Why is my voltage drop so awful?

[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6975424, member: 585517"] I had multiple opportunities to suggest that yet did not... why? We are worried about the difference in potential between the rear batt and the amp that is right next to it. How would changing something totally unrelated help? It won't. You have high resistance between the amp and the back battery. You can say you don't all day long, but that voltage drop proves you wrong. You have a bad solder joint or crimp on a ring terminal or too long of a run. I haven't seen your install but it's right there. It can't be anything else. This is common sense of course.... If I had to guess I'd say it is the soldered ring terminals. They provide superior connections most of the time, but when it slips a little as it's almost cool, you get a cold solder joint and it works but under a heavy draw provides lots of resistance.
