  1. lol a worn out pulley? and it makes noise so you go back to stock to have a quiet oem sound? seems like mechman is using real quality parts here.... even if 1 groove wore out on the pulley if you have a 6 groove belt that is more than enough for 200 amps still with 5 grooves. how does only one groove wear out? how does the pulley wear out? rubber vs metal. the metal should win. the belt wears not the pulley. this reminds me of that time mechman was trying to get out of warranty because the customer put more than one run from the charging post and they said it can hurt the alternator. ya right guys. and they charged you for a pulley that costs 10 dollars? so you payed 5 plus shipping? if you payed more thats pretty shitty especially if you are still under warranty period. When I had my mechman alt I wore out the pulley, the belt had slipped on it slowly over time and it heats up the metal and slowly wears it down/melts it. I switched to a singer 2 years ago and he uses steel pulleys because of this, but I just killed the rectifier in his, probably my fault either running my batteries too low, or because I had to take out my rear battery in the back between the alt and the amps. Either way if you push any alt to far it will fail. Luckily he just charges cost for parts and does the repair for free. I will say after how I was treated with mechman I will never be buying one of there products again, they do make good alts but they basically left me in the ditch to die. Singer on the other hand will always get back to me and has given me excellent customer service. Either way you gotta make sure you dont let your battery's get way down and undercharged, that will kill an alt fast.
  2. How much power rms will these be rated for? And what will they take for burps?
  3. with the amount of motor force these will have I would imagine these could rip doors off and destroy boxes very quickly
  4. most likely I would say its from over charging, I have had one swell a little on me and it was when I had a mechman alt in that had a lot of issues and the voltage constantly would spike up to 16 when the load let off, it leaks a little, but I sealed it up with some plastic glue
  5. I had a d3100 that had a cell go bad in it, so it would float fine, but if you put even a small amp load on it, I mean 10 amps even, it would drop to 10v easy, I shipped it in, took them a few times, the first time they tested it they said it turned out good, but they said they always charge it back up and retest, and they did and it fell flat on its face they said. They shipped me a brand new battery free of charge, I have had great service with them, I have talked to them before about sealing up a leaking d3400, which is my fault more as it saw some pretty high voltages, spiking up to the 16's, I reglued it and it holds a load fine, and that one is 4 years old lol
  6. I called XS a month or so ago, my battery was still resting at 12.6 even though it wasn't on a charger and had cracked open and sat all winter, I just sealed it up with some abs plastic epoxy, it works great, still holds voltage under load, cant complain, its 3+ years old and has been through a lot,
  7. I will be doing this once they go in stock, you said the offer for trade in will still be good, I cant complain for $50 to get this beast of a machine, having the ability to see gain overlap on peoples systems that wern't set yet is fucking awesome I want it cause it has a screen on it and red is awesome ha ha ****************** nevermind, I understood it wrong, I thought it was you trade in your old one and pay $50 and get the new one, not trade in your old one and and pay $200, will keep my old one I guess :'\
  8. Just got my recones done did it all from parts, back in buisness, its no ones fault, part of it was cause I accidenlty turned bass boost on and didn't realize it and clipped the shit out of them for about a week, burner 1 tinsel lead, then I put the 1 working 12 I'm the box alone with 3.4 cubes for it, was crazy loud, seemed more them 2 in that box, but blew it from crazy excursion, which I wanted cause i was gonna recone them both
  9. Question for XS power, is there a way I can just seal it up with something and continue to run it, I really dont wanna have to ship this battery also considering its just about 3 years old, eventually I am going to do a cap bank in the rear anyways with maybe on bigger battery too
  10. This was posted on Monday, while our entire sales and tech staff was at the SEMA show in Las Vegas... essentially, we were closed for all practical purposes. Any emails sent during that time would have received an automated response explaining such, if sent to the correct address. Same goes for anyone calling in last week or the week before. Now that we are back in the office, we are catching up as quickly as possible. This will still receive the same consideration as any other request for business or service, and will be handled in the order it was received. Posting about it on a forum will not give anyone any special consideration, and as mentioned in my original post above, will more than likely tie our hands as to how lenient we can be with our findings. For anyone who has been waiting to speak with us, we apologize for the delay, and greatly appreciate your patience. All phone lines and emails are in full operation now and we are happy to help any way we can! I will give you a call on monday when you are open, my issue is I dont wanna ship a battery if there is a chance It wont be covered because it gets expensive, the battery had started leaking awhile ago and it is now getting worse to the point where idk if I can even keep using it, started to leak down into my amp rack
  11. well I originally emailed nathan, now I just emailed there main email, so I will see, it is taking them a long time, perhaps so the warranty runs out? lol
