Neo_frog Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) You should really look up how to test "drop" before trying this if you've never used a multimeter. Some people don't understand what voltage drop is. Edited April 24, 2011 by Neo_frog Quote Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

LsChevy Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I just tested it and its at 12.8 but when the really deep bass hits it drops to 11.5. I think I just need to change my batt. under tha hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 is that with the car off? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LsChevy Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Off. I stuck the two ends from the miltimeter into the power and ground terminals on the amplifier and thats how I measured it I just did it again. Its at 13.3 with the car on and when the deep bass hits and stays constant it dropped to 12. The lowest it dropped to was 11.5 Edited April 24, 2011 by LsChevy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 What size wire do you have going to the amp and how long is it, that will also effect the voltage your getting to the amp.
