J R Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 What type of car/electrical? The gauge could be off. Try metering the voltage at the battery and at the amp with music playing on a decent meter and see if you get the same results. ***2001 GMC 2500HD Regular Cab*** -Jensen 9312 Flip-Out -2 12 inch Pioneer Step-up Shallow Mounts -Kicker ZX750.1 for Lows -Pioneer 6.5 coax in the doors -Pioneer 4x6 coax in the pillars -Old School Alpine MRV-F250 for Mids/Highs ***1969 Camaro Z/28*** -500+ cubic inch 950hp BBC + 400-650 shot of Nitrous -Audio coming soon-

J R Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Shouldn't be reading that high on a GM h/o alternator. Check it with a good dmm. It should real a lot lower. GM alt's usually do 14.8 at the MOST when they're cold. Once they get warm it sits around 14.0-14.3. ***2001 GMC 2500HD Regular Cab*** -Jensen 9312 Flip-Out -2 12 inch Pioneer Step-up Shallow Mounts -Kicker ZX750.1 for Lows -Pioneer 6.5 coax in the doors -Pioneer 4x6 coax in the pillars -Old School Alpine MRV-F250 for Mids/Highs ***1969 Camaro Z/28*** -500+ cubic inch 950hp BBC + 400-650 shot of Nitrous -Audio coming soon-
