Re: how many volts does ur car run at
sounds like you need a capacitor, how many watts is your system? My voltage stays around 14 volts and I have three 1.5 Farad capacitors, usually the rule of thumb is for every 1000 watts you need 1 Farad of capacitance -

...if you dont mind... seeing as your system is super clean, and i really like it.
you should post a thread on how you did it all, if you did it yourself. if not, as much info as possible would be really great. i am working on mine right now, and i basically want it to look like that (clean, amp location, same type of sub box.) just need some ideas.Comment

Re: how many volts does ur car run at
~14 volts, with no cap and a 1200WRMS amp. You may have a short somewhere. I'd recheck all your connections.<b><i>Don\'t Ever Judge Me</i></b><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/earnhardt132000\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Firebird Y87 3.8L V6 5spd</a><br />--No mods as of yet, shoot me some ideas if ya want.<br />178,000 miles and countingComment

Re: how many volts does ur car run at
Caps help keep your volts up at your amps and balance drifts, but remember its equally important to have a alternator with good output.1995 Camaro 3.4 A4<br /><br />CAI,IAT RelocateComment

yea... system or no system you need 14.4v off the alternator and 12.6 on the battery...
the battery may have a bad cell (Each cell = 2.1v) that may make it go into "sec orange mark"
I have a 5 Farad capacitor... but they don't make power just store it ...
so if you have 13v on the alternator than you got 13v on the cap
my system 8200watts... 200amp alternator 3 Kinetik batts 5 Farad cap
