A battery at ~0.4V is DEAD and won't be intermittently starting your car at all....

Check for loose and/or corroded connections.

Test the voltage at the battery/alternator and keep checking it at various places on your way back to the amp.

If you see a sudden change then that could be the problem.

Measure directly at the alternator with the car running. If you're not over ~13v then you probly have a bad alternator which could cause a bad battery as well, but look for iffy connections first.

A battery load-test at autozone is also a good idea to verify your battery.

The exact thing just happened to me a few days ago. Turned out being a bad alt.

Nothing for now...

Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

I'd grab Adam's ass and look him in the eyes for a demo of nates truck.

To find if it is a bad alt turn your car on and unhook your battery if your car turns off its the alt. or with the battery in put a dmm on it with it running it should read 14v or close to it. Also let your car run for a bit befor you check it so the alt can get warm. If your voltage goes to 12.5 or lower its your alt. my wife's alt died but when we first started it it read 14.5v but after 5 min of running the voltage dropped to 11 so make sure you let it heat up

I would not take it to them. Last time I took it to a autozone to have them look at my battery that told me both my batt was dead. And both where 100% fine. My problem was a idol control censor. So they almost had me and almost spent 600 or so on a alt and battery. Do what I suggested and you will find out real fast of it is your alt and it probly is by the way you are describing it.

i took it to car quest and they told me that the were both perfectly fine. I previously had my amplifier power wire ran to my positive battery post on my fuse box, i changed that and ran it to my battery and it seems to have solved the problem
