I think someone is glad I recommended AQ before their big build and now is on the bandwagon forever lol. Nice amps, best dollar per true watt out there. PERIOD!
I am pretty surprised with all those batts you are seeing that big a voltage drop. Seems to me they are not all good.

haha regardless of the reason I'm glad he convinced me to hold off and get the aq amp, and James I wanna hear your setup
my stock alt is only a 110 at best, I've tested all the batts and they all seem to be ok. really thinkin bout goin up to the shop and retesting them tho just to make sure. BUT that really low voltage is also just the initial drop, it goes up to the high 11's right after

seems like the car should of shut off,
maybe you need some XS power :-)
have you run a ground back up to the front batt or alt? the ground the the seat bolt might not be cutting it.

Agreed on the XS power part, I am not a fan of those deka's, is initial drop at idle was pretty nasty everytime, but with the rpms up it was in the 12's, and by initial drop this is why I love this TPI oscope it's refresh rate is so damn fast that my fluke meter won't pick up that quick drop, it is probably about a half a second or less. He only has one piece of 1/0 from the front to back power, one ground on the driver side rear battery to the frame and then the seat bolt ground and that seat bolt ground is solid, I oscoped it and it is fine. Some better batteries, HO alts and some more runs of 1/0 and that number will come up even more. Oh and Tony he does your number btw in xtreme.

Once the warranty goes out on it she'll get a rebuild with some pretty significant upgrades, haha I knew you'd throw that in Andrew. Def gonna be entering more than one class at the next comp just to see how well the bu does

For sure gotta get those loading issues under control. I don't think any sub would really take the abuse they have gotten when unloading with 10k going to them lol.

What frequency did the xtreme song play? the 10s only did a 149.5 on a tone with a clean signal at 35hz. Im gonna guess it was a higher freq. in xtreme causing the higher difference.
Im hoping to have my 18 in for the next comp, since the 10s are sold and the 15s still arent done.
