2 lvl 5 15 m2s on dc 12k
Masterbasser replied to candyman74's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
seems kinda small for port area, should try 2 8 inch ports, thats 100 sq inch, 8 inch aeros are pretty cheap for good flared painted ones, around 32 bucks each I think 5 cubic feet is also to small for 2 15s. I would shoot for BARE MINIMUM of 6 cubic feet NET, after all driver/brace/port/ displacement -
why isnt neil running incriminator audio amps to match his subs? i guess having to buy 22 amps would deter anyone from brand switching heh

ya try new belt make sure its tight as fuck,belts lengthen over time, post a pic of the belt going around the pulley on ur alternator so we can see ur belt wrap,the more belt u got on pulley the less it will slip -
Mechman 320s series billet unit issue
Masterbasser replied to Masterbasser's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
Nah never contacted anyone over there about it seems like everythings in order just was a bad connection, still not getting charge at idle sometimes,the car has a aftermarket cam in it so it lopes around anywhere from 800 to 600 at the lowest, depends what fuel im running usually seems to stay around 15 volts all the time now i am just worried about the connection on the charging stud and getting bolt off or tighter -
Mechman 320s series billet unit issue
Masterbasser replied to Masterbasser's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
i checked all connections on vehicle before work and the one on alternator post had somehow loosened a bit, i went to tighten it and i could not tighten it without possibly breaking something (not sure if theres corrosion all over or if the bolt was partially melted or what but was unable to loosen or tighten the bolt without being scared of breaking it right off) i headed to work and noticed now i was getting 15.2 volts cold-later dropped to around 14.6 or so (hot im guessing) i believe the issue was a bad connection at the alternator positive output now at 2 ohm output dropping from 14.6 to 13.9 on bass hits. not sure what to do about the output bolt though I will update thread if there are any changes in the future! -
Mechman 320s series billet unit issue
Masterbasser replied to Masterbasser's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
yea belt was replaced with smaller,tensioner good, voltage during acceleration is fine i was driving along at 60 mph and watchin voltage fluctuate,this was showing on a stinger voltmeter i now have a digital multimeter installed and will check tonight on way to work alternator is a hairpin,belt wrap is very good and dont see any black dust anywhere -

Mechman 320s series billet unit issue
Masterbasser replied to Masterbasser's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
yea maybe it wasnt, i see a bit of corrosion developing there though. still want to know about the weird voltage issue though -
I bought a mechman 320 s billet hairpin alternator for my ford mustang late last year,just got it in maybe a month ago or so been working fine (kinda) I had hoped to get 14.5 volts out of the unit(requested 14.5 when i ordered) when i was seeing 13.9at max anyways a couple weeks ago i dropped in a different stereo and everything was going fine (i think) i am only running at 2 ohms on amp right now so getting maybe 3000 watts out at the most at 2 ohm load on amplifier im dropping into high 12s (not terrible) snaps right back now today I was driving to work and i looked down and seen voltage ranging from 13.5 to 15 volts,jumping around even with radio down,wasnt doing it all the time but here and there I could also hear a bit of whirring from up by the engine ( i suspect it was the alternator bearings maybe?) so i popped the hood and this is what i saw the bolt on the positive output of alternator had turned white i believe this bolt was copper colored when i got it with the alternator???, is there any explanation why that would be? and also why the voltage would be jumping around? possible regulator gone bad on alternator?
