Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana Team Audible... Post Number: 7663 Registered: Mar-04 | How old is your battery? What size wire did you use? Upgrade your factory grounds and alt to batt power. (Big-3) |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 4941 Registered: Mar-06 | no. you need a larger alt. The 136 should be ok. I run a AQ2200 off one., With a second battery. And you have a good wire run from the alt to the bat? and bat to amp? and good grounds tru out? It shouldnt be droping that low that fast. I didnt think that amp would even run at 9 volts... |

Bronze Member Username: Cal1089Post Number: 61 Registered: Jul-09 | i did the big three with 0 gauge. the batt is\ proabably old. i couldnt tell you for sure. also it seems i get higher volts in the morning when its cold which is weird to me. also any opinions on the best/ cheapest battery? |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 4943 Registered: Mar-06 | the largest diehard is my choice of a budget battery, only cause of the warranty and availability. I would start with a battery, see how it goes, then look in a junk yard maybe for a dodge truck or van alt. From a V8. Most would be 136. Should get one fairly cheap. Just look for a newer one that has the same bolt pattern and pully set up as yours. Look for a nippondenso or Bosch |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 9409 Registered: Jul-06 | Look at what you can change. New grounds. New power wires. New, high output alternator. New battery. More batteries. Also, check to make sure current grounds aren't corroded or have shorted out, frayed, come apart or even rusted off. |

Bronze Member Username: Cal1089Post Number: 64 Registered: Jul-09 | ok so would a new battery really make that much of a difference. i hvae never had a problem before this system but this also is my first system with better quality. idk i just want it too run right |

Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audible Insanity]- Post Number: 3136 Registered: Mar-07 | Phil ftw. Your voltage should not be dropping that bad in the first place. My brother runs that same amp ( with a stock 80amp alt and an interstate battery) and his voltage stays in the upper 13s. You probably have a bad ground, or maybe the battery is bad. Get it tested at autozone or something. It also may be a good idea to get your alternator tested. Finding what is wrong will be strictly trial and error. |
