Alternator going??
When markers/headlights/brake lights engage RPMs drop by a few hundred. When I had my system hooked up when if the sub hit hard enough the car almost shut off.

Start the car and pull your negative off... if it dies then alternator is 100% bad... if it continues to run but barely (especially with accessories on) voltage regulator is shot... and requires either a rebuild or replacement.

Re: Alternator going??
Not running a sub any more, i believe it's a 70 amp. Could this be a reason for me to not get a good reading off of a sensor?
