BEEMDUB Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Sooo I got a voltmeter in the mail yesterday and threw it in the car hooked up to my sub amp....driving voltage stayed in low 14s high 13's...resting voltage with the acc on was about 12.3.....Then I tested it and let the subs rip full tilt on some decaf and the voltage stayed in the mid to low 13's and high 12's. So I took my multimeter and put it to the sub amp to double check and make sure the voltmeter wasn't trickin me..it read the same exact thing!...Is it true that my voltage could stay that good? I only have the stock battery and stock 160 amp alt right now with the big three and I'm running a bxi2607d and a p400.4 off of that.. Also I did mount a 1.5 amp bat charger in the trunk and I've been pluggin it in for the last 2 nights since I got the charger...

Bigsix Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 If they are both reading the same I'd say you are golden, the odds of 2 diff. meters giving an identical, and off, reading has got to be almost impossible.
