brownm3 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 would a big 3 be beneficial with the cars battery already being low on voltage? or is it better just getting a brand new car battery? I would suggest charging it but if its an old battery and it low get a new one. There is some great stuff in this forum that explains how a cars electric system works and this might even help out https://www.dcpowerinc.com/articles/supply-and-demand-electrical and search this forum for more information: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/forum/12-electrical-battery-alternators-wiring/ Quote BrownM3 Build Log BrownM3's Youtube Channel "Csbrown147" My Official Feedback Thread (UBL) BrownM3 Jeep Build (UBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 mines sits at 13.6 with the car on and drop sometime to 12.8. soo is that ok? Did you measure the voltage at the battery or the amp? If from the battery, measure it from the wires where they go into the amp and post back Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
