is that 12.4 sitting at charging with the system off, or with everything including the car turned off?

Disconnect all your batteries and check each battery seperatly.

You may have a bad battery in your bank, and testing all batteries at once when they are all daisy chained together isnt going to show a bad battery.

Other then that, put the batteries on a real charge, not a charge from your alternator.

Then try it out again

can you take it to autozone to do a test on it? it could be your batt went bad... does it sit mid 13s low 14s with car on? i do think autozone does a free test if you bring it in

so if 1 battery out of my 4 total is bad then it could cause the amp to go into protect?

It could cause a so to say a short or a bad discharge thru out all your batteries. It can also fry your alternator.

Yes autozone can test your batteries for free, but their little rinky dink machine aint nothing to brag about. and besides load testing a battery with the little 80 or 100 amps their tester does is nothing compaired to the size of your batteries output. These things they use to test your alt and batts with are made pretty much for the basic everyday average stock electrical systems, not some big bitching setup :)
