Voltage Meter Hook Up ?

hook the voltage meter's pos and neg straight up to your amp's negative and positive.

That's a good idea, that way it's reading the voltage I wanna know about no? Thanks Jeff, you've been such a big help to me brotha, you have no idea... Everyone that hears my system is super impressed and I couldn't of done it without y'all's help. And I'm not even done I still got the front stage and the 4x 18 C-pillar build to do but it's coming out nice

U shouldn’t try and blow your subs. If a coil goes it could take out the amp. Seen it done before.

Not enough power to kill em. On a positive note tho, before I could stink up my speakers easily at 70-80% volume. Now I have it at 90-95% volume and haven't been able to stink them up yet. And since I added the voltage meter, at full tilt my voltage drops a lil under 14v when before my Max voltage was 13.4v with dips down to 10s and even got amp to go into protect cuz it dropped under 10v's and when this would happen my amp would get very hot fast... Now I can jam at 80-85% volume for 30-40 mins and amp only gets warm...

That HO alt really really helped boost and stablize my system

Are there any forum post or web sites that have information on eliminating rattles, vibration noise from everything. My rear quarter n mid windows rattle n bang so hard I think they may break sometimes and my roof n side panels move like my van is breathing and I don't even wanna get into the rear hatch noise... I'm thinking expanding foam, silacone, a lil bit of real sound deadener for the roof and hatch, and then a bunch of the cheap ductwork wrapping for the floor.

Sound like a decent direction for sound deadening?

Well I got that deck the KD-340BTS and I am not disappointed, I thought the HO alt and this HU would make a difference, but I'm totally blown away. It's a completely different system. That HU I had I there before must have been compete junk. It's funny that one guy said that adding that alternator and deck wouldn't help any... He was wrong big time... With proper power and signal, my system is producing great quality music now. The bass is Fuller now with the deck and you can distinguish between different notes now instead of them just bleeding together. Thanks again JeffDaChef, you are the man!

yeah dude just wait till you do an active network setup with your mids and highs with that head unit. Your vocals will be beyond heavenly.

Oh yeah I can't wait. I got that Fosgate DSR-1 too, it just sitting in the closet. All I need is to order the 3 sets of speakers (tweets, midranges, midbasses), an amp, and a bit more wire. I'm gonna go with the PRV neo's for the mid range n bass. IDK which tweeters, I like the Crescendo FT1 super tweets tho. Would like to use a single amp to power them, but I think I'll just end up using two 1ks or a 1k and 500w.
