How does it not work for his application? He made no mention of it not charging at idle, just that it takes a while to bring his batteries up from 11.8 volts when it is extremely cold out. That to me sounds like belt slip until the belt warms up, or possibly a cold blooded internal voltage regulator problem. (rare, but can happen) In either case, we have honored our warranty to a T, and will continue to do so. Starting a thread like this serves no other purpose than to bash us, despite the fact that we have done all we can to help. If you want your alternator to be tested and fixed under warranty, (if there is even anything wrong with it) just give us a call for an RGA number and send it in. Just FYI, we will not be giving you a refund on it, as outlined in our published return policy. If you want to go buy a DC power unit, go right ahead, but I am 99% sure that is won't be very different from ours. They use the same internal voltage regulators we do...

Look into the issue with the ecotec engines and high output alts.

Hello everyone! It has been quite awhile since I have posted much information lately due to how extremely busy you all are keeping us here at Skar Audio, and we are very thankful for that! I figured it was about that time to release something we have been working on for quite some time now =) I am personally very excited about this new woofer, and as many of you saw in the thread - this is the official announcement for that we will be releasing the all new Skar Audio VVX-8v3 8" Subwoofer! The VVX-8v3 is replacing the discontinued VVX-8 model (which was mostly known as the VVX-8v1. The v2 has a slightly taller surround, but mostly never really announced it was a v2, for anyone wondering...) With the VVX-8v3 we improved on many aspects of the woofer, allowing us to increase the RMS Power rating by 100 Watts, from 400 to now the new powerful 500 Watt RMS rating. Here at Skar Audio we have a handful of 8" Subwoofers, each catering to either different power ratings or different applications. The MA-8 is our more SPL oriented subwoofer, and the VD-8 is our shallow mount woofer. For anyone wondering, the ZVX-8 is still coming out in about 2 months or so, and will be rated at 900 Watts RMS. I just wanted to clarify the different 8" woofers we offer, but this thread is about the VVX-8v3, so lets get back on topic =)! New Product Information Model : VVX-8v3 8" Subwoofer Coil Configuration Availability : Dual 2 Ohm / Dual 4 Ohm RMS Power Rating : 500 Watts Voice Coil : 2" Pure Copper Magnet Information : Triple Stack Ferrite Magnet (156mm*80mm*20mm) Availability ETA : January 30th, 2014 You will notice the new v3 utilizes a slightly larger more powerful motor as well as a more advanced T-YOLK design, which also adds to the cosmetic appearance of this woofer as well =).. The foam surround has also been redesigned and is now stronger and slightly larger. This woofer was designed to be tiny, but pack a serious amount bass. The VVX-8v3 specifically is a also a great low end response monster for it's size, as were previous versions of the VVX-8.

First off, I have this exact alt (Mechman 370 Elite 6 phase) and it has performed flawless for me. Period. Does 252 at idle..... Highly recommend Mechman and will buy from them again in the future. On a side note, since this thread was created I am curious as to the results per if the alt is sent in and tested to see if there is in fact anything wrong with it or if it is just the Ecotech and/or weather and/or belt slip issues. etc. Tuned in if we can get an update as to whether anything was wrong or not. OP: please get some form of battery tender if you don't already and plug it in over night, every night. (every night not needed but just do it, lol)

My boy Charles - one of the ORIGINALS, a youtube Triple O.G. stopped by to show his lady the system. She is from Dubai. I don't think she was ready LOL
