Low voltage with heavy bass
Hey
I have been having trouble with my system basically since I installed it. I can put it to around 19 on my deck usually with normal driving, but if i turn it up more the amp will cut out driving the subs, but the speakers will keep going. After a second the subs will pump a beat and cut out again. I am good with car audio, but not a pro. On my capacitor the voltmeter reads as low as 11.0V. I do not have a large system, only 650W rms.
A friend of mine suggested that it could be fixed by purchasing an optimum yellowtop deep cycle battery, since I have a motomaster eliminator right now and it is coming up on 3 years old, and my alternator is only a few months old.
Does anyone have any imput?
This is my set up
and this is my car

Gains are at 1/3rd, bass boost is at the same.
My deck is set to have the defeat off, sub output, bass level and trebel. The grounds for the system are good. I have I haven't done the big 3 though.
had the system pumping completely topped out at it was while driving on the highway with the radio off for a few hours so the battery was nice and full and the revs were high. I just want to get my system ready so I can bring it to the DB comps this summer. I know it has potential, but I can't reach them.

It will do it at any temperature, and rarely gets overly warm. Usually if I'm going to use them for over 20 minutes of driving I will put the seat down, because it isnt muffled.
