Ok, soooo my alt. doesnt make any power at idle (425a) voltage drops to 12.7 or so when i stop at stop lights, systems turned down, no bass ,

will 12.7v at idle with amp powered on (no sub volume just amp turnrd on) hurt any thing?

sorry if thats hard to understand...having a hard time discribing what im tryin to ask

Yes your question is a bit confusing. You have a 425 amp alternator? Doesn't make any sense to me.

But at 12.7v no the amp will not be damaged. It will be damaged if you try to pull high power out of it with that voltage though.

Nope you'll be fine at 12.7, but that's strange it doesn't keep up at idle especially because you have a lot of batteries that are charged...

What company is it?

i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch...

going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth.

A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also?

I was watching a guys voltage when we were driving once and his always lowered at idle even when not playing anything.

Check your phone too.

It drop at idle because the alt had no output at idle its always turned down at stop signs stop light ect. just wasnt sure if 12.7 amp on (but no draw) would hurt it, didnt think it would but..double cjeakin
