Well when the car is started im getting between 13-14, but when im running on the battery im only getting about 11 something to 12. Any ideas on what needs to be fixed? I guess a better battery.

Ive got all the install pics resized, im just gonna take some more of the finished install later and post them up for you guys


Oh and for the bluetooth, it syncs with up my phone when i get in the car so if someone calls me it rings through the car speakers and I can use my headunit as my phone. This way i can make and recieve calls without ever taking my phone out of my pocket. Plus if i ever get a bluetooth ipod (if they come out) that too can stay in my pocket and connects to the headunit and streams music like that.

what do you mean running on the battery? car off? If you ment running with the car off then your fine... a 12v battery will never go over 12v by itself. But if you ment with the car running then you may want to look at some upgrades. First one i would do before anything is the Big 3 upgrade... its a little complicated for cobalts but it will be well worth it (not sure what gauge wire the batt is connected by but it looks beefy so if your not going with something bigger then you probably will be fine with stock)

That's normal. With the car running you should get around 14, with the car off you should get 12 but that will go lower as the bass hits and the system plays for awhile.

did you go directly to the battery with the power wire for the amp or did you tap in somewhere else.I would use 8 gauge wire minimum for powering the amp.12.6v is a fully charged 12v battery.

Im sorry, I ment with the car off its a tad below 12. Btw, im using all 4 gauge wiring, except on the sub amp, which uses 8. There both directly connected to the battery using a RF power distribution blocks.
