old skool luvr is a glorious beacon of light

don't remember what gauge of power wire you're running (or if you've mentioned it yet) but it might be a good idea to check the voltage @ your amp. if it's small gauge, you may not be pulling all the power you think you may be.

you can compare that to an @ battery (or alt) reading if you want.
