byers319 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 it could just be a somewhat bad battery but im almost 100% sure autozone will tell you its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_frog Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Well if you bought it JUST NOW, then take it back in there and tell them it's bogus. EDIT: I wouldn't have even wasted my time posting before trying to swap it. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Zach_530 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 alright just came back from there..the guy tested the battery and said its reading 12 volt..when we went out to the car the batt was still reading 12v and when the car started it read at 11.9. (when i was driving it read 11.9. is this from the alternator then? i dont understand.. he is my only guess..the other day it rained badly..well the little rain protector on the bottom of the window (on the door) is broke..could it be that rrain got inside my door and messed up my electrical? im confused..and i cant use my system at all someone please help!! 260 iraggi alt Yellow Top for the front 1 18" Solo x 1 Memphis Mojo 16-MCD4KW (4000wrms) All 1/0 Wiring 2 250 Amp Circuit Breakers BIG 3 1/0 1 Mits. 3000GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byers319 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 im pretty sure the rain would make it go wayyy down not just a volt or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_frog Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 im pretty sure the rain would make it go wayyy down not just a volt or two Huh? OP: I see you're running a Memphis 4KW. What is your other electrical like? Other batteries and alternator? Those amps don't like low voltage and they'll tear up your electrical or blow itself with abuse. I had a bad episode with five cooked batteries, messed up alternator, and blown power supply using 4KWs. It took a lot to bring it all up to run them sufficiently. Need an install?
