cvxsmitty58 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 i have the same setup in my jeep with factory 130 amp alt and never drop into the 12's unless i stay on it a long time. Big 3 and another battery are a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94retta(219) Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well it was before i knew that mono block amps with 2 sets of terminals were in parelle. So it was my mess up. They were 2 kicker l7s d2 so the amp was actully seeing .5 when i thought it was at 1ohm. Lol I was runnin a t1500.1bd on .5 with a stock alt and a yellow top and never dropped below 13.8?
