not sure i'd be concerned... keep an eye on it and see if it changes any.


that being said? my S has never made more than 13.9 V (even at revs), so mileage may vary. also, it's not uncommon for me to pull up to a light and read 12 V even for a while, then see the voltage kick back up to 13.5 V or so.

anyone else have an idea or thoughts?

Should you be concerned... not so much, but you are going to slowly kill off the battery you have now Steve. I would look into getting the larger size yellow top Optima. If my memory serves me correctly you have the smaller sized yellow top now..?.. However, that extra 4 gauge will have very little effect. It will help a little but not as much as you might think. It will help keep the other speakers running strong when the bass hits hard because its not sucking the power from the same 4gauge.

I would just a get a larger battery... and I'll make you the tray you'll need.
