0.1v may be correct if your grounds are all good. Right now I get more
like a 1.0v drop to everything up front when I switch on the headlights.
At very least clean and tighten all the ground connections. I'm sorely
tempted to just run an 8-gauge wire from the battery ground terminal all
the way to the front, and then tie all the under-dash grounds to that.
