First when i would turn my system up to a certain level the voltage would drop to like 9 and my 4ch and mono would cut out and when i turned it back down everything worked fine. My friend told me it was my battery so i went out and bought a optima yellow top. Now  at low volumes its like 13.5 but when i turn it up it still drops to 9 but it doesn't cut out. What did i do wrong that it's not a steady 12.

Start by checking your grounds.

What are the amp ratings for those amplifiers and what is the car?

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

What is the voltage reading at the battery compared to the amps (across the amp power/ground terminals) under these conditions?
My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
