Try a 36v to 12v reducer. 20-25 amp rated. This should fix your problem.
It is an electric cart right?

You didn't ground it to the frame, did you?

I know more than 1 person that runs a radio off two batteries with no problem. Something isn't right with this. A lot of surface grounding and a frame ground? That is a guess as most of the regulars know

Then why is this posted in the electric EZGO section?

I would say you have a bad voltage regulator.

No - The starter / generator produces voltage. The voltage regulator 'regulates' the amount of voltage the output is to the battery. You shouldn't get more than 14.5 volts. If you're getting more than that, you need to replace ASAP before you burn up your battery, stereo and other electronic devices.
