Stereo receiver to avoid voltage drop
I know someone out there has a solution to this issue. We often camp off grid, that is, solely using 140 watts solar and 2 AGM batteries (Deka) rather than 30 amp shore power. We have a factory instal...

Your batteries are 12.7 volts when fully charged. Anything else is just surface charge and worth a minute or two in time.
The likely culprit causing the voltage to drop to low for the stereo is your compressor refrigerator. After a few hours your battery voltage has dropped enough to have the voltage under load needed to drop below current needed to run the stereo. The current needed to start the compressor causes a sharp drop in voltage from the batteries, causing stereo to cut out.
That's why RV's do not use compressor refrigerators. Fine for shore-power, but a game ender for camping on non-electric sites.
