Triple B Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 i just have the stock volt meter in my truck and it hasnt gone below 14 since ive had the stereo in... and each battery when we used a volt meter that has the positives and negatives on it that my friend has idk what kind it is both batteries were getting almost 15 volts and when we checked the amp it was getting 15.2 volts to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 ya, your doing that completely wrong. 1st off, the stock gauge wont react to quick drops so its completely useless here. 2nd, charging voltage is also useless here. we only care about voltage drop when the system is at full tilt.

Triple B Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Okay... So I need a new volt meter? And rewire everything? And... Anything else I should know about before I do anymore damage if I haven't done it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 you should find out if you fried your amp. get yourself a DMM, digital multi meter. learn how to use it. then connect the probes to the remote wire and the amp ground. see if you get voltage when the HU is on.

Triple B Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 So my amps not blown, wooo! But my volts in my truck stay at almost 15 than drop when bass hits, my remote wire was loose but fixed that now nothing turns off but as soon as volts drop I turn my deck off. Does low volts mean I would need a new alt? Or would the 1/0 gauge wire fix the problem? I know close to nothing about all this stuff this is my first stereo so sorry for bein such a noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
