i bought a 90amp as an upgrade to the 80amp my engine came with! my battery is exactly 2 yrs old this month. it is a normal water battery!
do i have to install a power cap for mids alone? i dont have intention on adding a bass line.
or do i have to change to a optima or something similar?
Try turning music off and putting your high beams on, if you notice the same low voltage, it's definitely the alt.. If voltage stands strong, then you could have a slack wire some where..

Don't waste your money on that crap. Do a forum search, that has been covered before.
If your battery is good and the car starts normal, then it is possible you have a wiring fault somewhere. Get a 2nd voltage meter / multimeter to verify..
To reach 11.1V, it means you are seriously over powering both your alternator and battery (which I doubt) or you have an electrical fault.Try turning music off and putting your high beams on, if you notice the same low voltage, it's definitely the alt.. If voltage stands strong, then you could have a slack wire some where..

check your charge wire from alternator to battery ,
check your spark plugs and plug wire + coil pack
turn on car put on headlights 13.62
and ac you are supposed to read 12.62
rev the car and check volts supposed to read 14.62-85
check your wire see that your amp is grounded properly and not corroded on the wire ends, check all connections of current in your music for corrosion
if you getting these or close to these measurements your alternator is working good(change battery)
if not change battery + repair or change alternator .....

Put that on the battery positive instead of the alternator.

my battery is relocated to the trunk!
there is the normal wires that ran to the battery pole to the front of the car.i jus replaced the terminal with a distribution block and from there the '0' gauge ran to the battery!
then,jus by the kick panel on the passenger side is my fuse block and the entire system gets current from there!
