Alternator Vs. Amplifier Question
stratusrt01 replied to Neo_frog's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
I agree that 12.5V drops are nothing, really. Batteries are 12.8, so realistically, you are only dropping .3V before you kill it. I know there's more to it than that, but once you pull over 300 amps, you're going to go to battery power, which is normally 12.8V. My Ohio 300 amp alternator puts out pretty much nothing at idle, and I was told by a couple other manufacturers that in order to make 300 amps, there has to be some give, and that's charge at idle. As soon as I touch the gas, my amperage and voltage comes up to normal, but at idle, I'm also running off of straight battery power, pretty much. In contrast, a couple friends have 200 amp alternators, and theirs put out decent power at idle, and it's the same alternator casing, just mine is 300 amps, their's is 200 amps. -
The Stratus Is For Sale!
stratusrt01 replied to stratusrt01's topic in SMD Garage Sale - New and Used NON Car Audio Items
Guess I should have put a few more pieces of info: mids and highs are CDT HD's, 2 sets with the CDT imaging and centerchannel setups. All are included with the car, that's over $1200 in mids and highs. fastest way to contact me for questions is probably by email, since it's forwarded to my phone: [email protected] -
Well, it's time to grow up and buy a larger car for daily driving. The Good: Runs 100% like new Near new 18" rims and tires TC Sportline bodykit (the only "good" kit for this car) Lots of custom fiberglass work The Bad: Couple cracks in the bodykit (if I get asking price, I will fix and repaint these before the sale) 2 small dents in the rear 1/4 panel windshield is cracked, but still passes NC inspection with the crack Car will come with the mids and highs still in it, and if I get asking price, I can put a decent Pioneer headunit in the car if the buyer wants. Something like the 6000UB or similar. Car already has 2 runs of 1/0 in it, and will stay in there. I also have a dual 10" box for the car that worked very well in the car, although it is not the box that hit the 152.4 in the car. Just a great daily driver box. The rear deck is cutout and replaced by a grill cloth cover. Most people don't even notice from the outside. Asking $5500 obo. I have the rest of the interior panels for the car not shown in the pics, don't want them to become sun damaged, so they're removed while the car is sitting:

he's not in the military, see the brass that says ROTC? He's just an ROTC cadet in college. I don't think they'd let him be commissioned if they saw those pics......ewwwwww. -

Startup Cost

Open a Pawn Shop instead...... When everyone else is doing bad, Pawn Shops make killer money. And you can sell car audio out of it also, there's a couple places here in town that make a killing like that. example: Joe buys a pair of DD 3512's and the next month he can't afford them, so he pawns them for about 1/6th of what he paid, thinking that he's going to pay it back and get the subs back, but that happens about 35% of the time, so the shop keeps the woofers and then sells them again. It's a great circle, and makes money, even when times are hard.
