Freshman6969 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) alright so yesterday i took out my system, was 2 12s on a "800" watt amp, had my meter set at 13.8 ( i was useing a old ass volt meter to seem how much i was getting at the amp so i guessed 13.8 since it was right near 14) so after taking all that out i hooked my meter up to my 4ch kinda guessed which one was power and ground then today i got my DMM so i set my meter correctly @ 13.6 at idle now when i drive i never see it go over 13.8 it droped to about 12.7 with the amp off, then rose back up and down etc the whole time i was driving i just dont get how i can have no drop with my sub amp but have tons with my 4ch? could i have the power and ground reversed or something? any help here? btw stock alt, everlast batt edit: i also just refused with 2 150 amp fuses, (2)4g in and (1)4g out, could that be the problem? its a distro block i think, http://cgi.ebay.com/DUAL-MINI-MIDI-ANL-FUSE-HOLDER-AMP-INSTALL-0-2-4-GAUGE-/270612118367?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f01bd3b5f Edited August 4, 2010 by Freshman6969 Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

Slawsen Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 You have to set the voltage on the volt meter? That makes no sense, sounds like a gay broken volt meter Quote 00' Nissan Xterra Always under construction :] HU: Pioneer DEH3100-UB Mids & Highs: Kicker DS Component Set & Crescendo tweeters Mids & Highs Amp: Rockford 150.2 Subwoofer: 2 DC Audio LV 4 18"s Subwoofer Amp: Hifonics Brutus 2005d you been hanging out with jeff and dustin with that green paint? its yellow so it has to be loud.

Freshman6969 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 You have to set the voltage on the volt meter? That makes no sense, sounds like a gay broken volt meter its a stinger volt meter, and it was only droping to 13.4 when idle Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k!

audiofanaticz Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 You don't have to "set" the voltage on a stinger volt meter...so why'd you say you did? um yes you do.... when you take off the little black cover there is a blue and white adjustment screw to calibrate the volt meter...

fox_racin4 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 my guess is a bad regulator Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshman6969 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 my guess is a bad regulator i thought about it but how did it go bad when i switched it from one amp to another? would the 4ch draw more voltage for some odd reason?
