osamio Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ok but there is a cold to hot drop? that's all i needed to know. As long as it's not unusual or anything. And i will add a relay, i just thought it should work with the auto sensing crap that doesn't really do anything... lol thanks guys Quote 2009 Cobalt LT Pioneer Headunit 2x Pioneer 6 1/2 (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 1" tweeters (stock amp) 2x Pioneer 6x9 (stock amp 4x Pioneer 6 1/2 Pioneer GM-6400F Soundstream DTR 1700 R.I.P 2x Champion series PRO 12" subs 0 AWG Big 3, Stinger SP1700 battery To come: New or repaired DTR!!

Andyvader Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 here in michigan where its freezing, as soon as i start my car it will read 15.1-15.2 volts when its really cold, and once i drive around for a while it works its way down to 14.3-14.4. I wouldnt worry about it dude. Quote 2006 Malibu Maxx SS 4 sa 12's D2 2 audiopipe 3k's 4 UPS batteries 2 runs of 0awg Walled at 34hz How does a sport like this do in tough economic times? Just fine.

CJ18 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 For the voltage meter I would spend a couple extra bucks and get a stinger voltage meter. It has 3 wires one ground one to run to you battery and one remote, no need for switches.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El1T3Bass Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I think 2 volts is a lot but if it's an older car and older alt it would make sense.
