whats voltage dropp now that its at 100%? what are you wired to and did you clamp yet?

voltage when driving with no subs on is 14.8-15.0 depending on how high my volume on the 4 chan is, everything off heat, hu, beat, ect driving im about 15.1, i cold start around 15.3, that'll change when weather gets warmer

as for clamping, have not yet but i should be able to soon my gfs step dad has a clamp meter

and im wired to .47 (.5)

however, on another note, i got my volt meter mounted finally, and started the resin on my box, i also put mat in the corners to help strengthen it, so thats sitting now so in a few hours i can sand it and shit, let it sit over night and throw the woofers back in tomorrow or tuesday, prolly tuesday

now ima just say this now, this was the messiest shit i ever worked with lmao

edit:

i took the pics before i finished it off, made sure there werent clumps/lumps of resin all over so it was a smooth coating

Well here were my three problems i had for the setup, upon installation

vid will be later but running into 3 current issues

1 - ground noise that i cant seem to get rid of or find the cause of. It sounds like the same exact sound the blinkers make when they are on

2 - voltage issues, might be a loose connection (im hoping). My voltage at full tilt is usually 13.2-13.4, after i shut the beat down and continue to drive it goes to like 13.6, even lower when i stop at lights, but if i turn beat up again it'll go down to 13.1 or whatever, then spike up to 14.0-13.9

3 - My head unit and amps shut off when playing, just the headunit and amps shut off, nothing else in the car electrically

1 and 3 were related. The issue was a loose/bad ground for the headunit its self. I have since used the stock ground from the harness and it doesnt shut off + no ground noise - Fixed

2 is still unknown but has not been at fault yet and my voltage is great. I think it may have been a wire grounding out or something along those lines, one of my big three cables was touching part of the alt the way it was ran, i since moved it incase it was the issue, so i am hoping that was it - Possibly Fixed

when i can get my hands on 4 more 1/0 ring terms my plan is to re-do my big three anyway and clean it up, along with everything under the hood.
