That's why upgrading a battery or even adding one in line downstream really doesn't do anything to help the electrical state of the system...unless the vehicle is off.
referring to me? i had a "HO" alt (stocks holding up about the same tbh) also had a g34 in the trunk tho 12v ftw...

side note if your wired at 1ohm your not seeing one ohm due to impedance rise. IE I've wired to 1ohm for 2 years (different subs and boxes still 1ohm tho) and the lowest I've seen was 2ohm highest was ~3.1ohm i'm normally around the 2.33ohm. That's useful info for when burping but music your doing all sorts of different notes so the rise goes up and down depending on the tuning. Grounds are the key, bad ground more drop and sometimes allot of feedback. Just my 2c
