yeah i figured a buss bar would be need in that case.
what im looking at doing is running the battery in my trunk to shorten the length of the runs to the amp. would i be able to take the 2 runs i have now, and run them from my main car battery to charge the trunk battery and then disconnect it for when im in the lanes for db drag?

thing is, with street a, you want to get the most out of your front battery, which is why you do multiple runs of wire to a buss bar... those buss bars are kinda like 'batterys' as you can only have one run into your amplifier.

there would be nothing wrong with you running a dual batt setup for daily use... thats what MANY people do.

or should i run 8 runs from my front batt to a buss bar then to my trunk batt then to my amp?

funny no one pointed out that your voltage is supposed to drop.
better indication of what the issue might be is doing a power test on your amplifier while it's in the car to see how much power you are making.
like say if you are producing 4500 watts at full tilt and your voltage drops like you are describing then you might not have any issues at all.
in the same instance if you are only making like 2000 watts then there is a big issue.

this is all true. what is your starting impedance at the amp? there are soo many un answered questions that its hard to troubleshoot everything at once
