[QUOTE="gckless, post: 7874542, member: 635756"] So you never seen any issues? I just drove it up to the store, about 5 minutes away. I have a underhood voltage meter, as well as another one in my dash that has wires ran to the trunk to monitor voltage from any point there, currently on my 4 channel amp. My trunk is about .1~.2V less than my underhood meter, indicating either improperly set meters or a less than optimal ground. I'm not too concerned witht that right now though. On the dash voltage meter, I am now seeing 14.8~15V at idle. That number doesn't move much, if at all, when at RPM's (anything at 2000 or above). I'm thinking this won't be a problem, and is actually very good. I don't know why I seen 15.5V before though. I'm thinking it's because it was cool. When I first started it up before I ran to the store I seen 15.3V under the hood. When I got back home and checked it was sitting at 15.0V under the hood. Anyone else see this with DC Power XP's?
