The last month my voltage drops really low during some songs that hit hard. For the past 6-8 months, my voltage has stayed above 14, and rarely dropped to 13.8 on the songs now carrying my to low 12.8-13.3
Cold start, my Voltage is at 14.6 and after about 10min my voltage stays at 14.2-14.4
I thought it was my XS Power @the hood but it reads 12.83 solo. The Duracell reads 12.78 when I test solo. Mechman belt looks good and tension feels fine.
I notice almost every song gets me to high 13's and heavy bass drops me to low 13's and at times high 12's (mids start to flicker at this point).
Volts do rise back to 14.2-14.4. This sudden change of dropping a max of 1.5volts worries me.
Things I have done-
stripped pos/ground on Sub amp and reconnected
checked grounds on both amps
checked door speakers for loose wires
meter mids amp, stays within .2 of stinger meter on sub
XS Power- 1yr old
Duracell- 6 months
Mechman- 1.5yr
Belt- 8 months old
Not sure what else I can do to find the problem.
