MECHMAN

The honestly best way to do multiple alts is to have the first one set up to plug into the factory harness, and do the rest self exciting. A self exciting regulator will tend to have an output of about 14.9V to 15.1V when cold/ warm. Other nice thing is no plugs to deal with. Battery cables and that is all. Guys have a great weekend.

Thanks for all of the wire colors, but in the end all that is important is the "L" terminal on the regulator. In most cases this can be found by looking at the alternator from the back. The very first pin to the left of the clip should have the letter "L" cast into the plastic regulator stub. Get a switched 12V to that and rock and roll. Let me know if this helped, and if you need anything email me at [email protected] or call 1-888-MECHMAN XT 202.

Thank goodness we did not have an earth quake. Otherwise our one builder would have been killed by the land side of American Made High Output Alternators. I wonder if his life insurance policy would cover this.

This was yesterdays carts........ Wide Open!!!!! Thanks for the orders, and we are trying to keep the build time as short as possible.

This is a very strange problem. The engine size in your case is not an issue, and your friend is wrong. It sounds like you have everything done right, and since it was working fine on your old truck you must of had it right on there also. My best recommendation is to send it back for testing. Email me @ [email protected] and I will get you a return number. Thanks, Chris

Thanks guys for all the orders. We are still running close to 12 business days before shipping, so thanks for hanging in there.

This was yesterdays cart. I had to run out and did not get it posted. It might not have been double stacked on top, but the 8 other International shipments are not pictured here and are on there way to places like Russia, Norway, and Australia. Oh yeah we ship International almost everyday!!!!

Quick Thanks For All The Orders!!!! We Are Getting Caught Back Up With Our GM Elite 370 Orders.

Here is today's cart. Not included here are 13 units that went out first thing this AM for a dealer. We are getting caught back up, but lets keep the order's coming in.

Here is today's shipping cart, and our International orders. Thanks for the orders and keep them coming.

Man here is today's cart. Could not get the whole stack in. Heck there were still i few to get boxed. Thanks again, and keep the orders rolling in guys!!!!!

How full will the cart be today?

Not as many today, but still getting caught up. Planning to work production this weekend. Again thanks for the orders and being patient.

So here is just a small sign of how covered up we are. Thanks for all of the orders, and thank you also for being patient. These are just today, and we still have an hour till FedEx gets here!!!!!

A lot of the difference is in the back end of the alternator. The main area is the brush holder. One of the test that the Coast Guard does is a "self induced explosion test." They pretty much pump flammable gas into the alternator and spin it up to see how it blows up. Yes they destroy the alternator as part of the test.

HA......For an additional 25.00 you to can have a blue alternator. Or for that fact any color that Dupilcolor makes in the high temp engine colors.

Here is a little competition we are running. In order to be eligible you need to post up on our FB page. This does not apply to the OE alternator, and must be aftermarket alternator.

To answer your question, It wouldn't really make sense to break open 100+ battery cable kits just to have enough cable to wire the thing. All the cable ends, clamps, etc... would be wasted cost. We don't sell wire by the spool or the foot other than XS power, and XS power has already helped us out with good pricing on the batteries. Even though we are a manufacturer, there is still always a budget for a build...

Tennative plans are a B pillar 4rth order: (18) 15 inch DC subs on 60K WRMS (36) 10 inch Mclaren mid drivers on 25K WRMS (20) Mclaren horn drivers (power not determined yet) (12) Super tweeters (power not determined yet) (36) XS Power D1400's for bass and mids Unknown XS power 12 volt batteries NVX Power cable CNF Distribution products Deadener has not yet been decided upon yet.

Patiently waiting for an alt for a Ford focus :] What year and engine? Thanks, Chris 2001, and 2.0l. all first gen focus cars are 2.0L, the alt is different on the 2.0L SOHC and the 2.0L DOHC. DOHC here. ah, mine is also DOHC. Gotcha!!!!! We do can make a 170 AMP direct bolt in. That is the largest output because of the small case design Ford started with. If it was a SOHC we can get to about 240 AMPs. Give me a call if you want to order it up. Thanks, Chris - 1-888-MECHMAN XT 202

Singer does one, which is what I'll have to end up doing. Unless Mechman has recently made one for this car. I'd love to stick with Mechman, but I gotta have an H/O alt one way or another. Sorry ya'll we just are not going to get back in to mass production of brackets kits. We are purely focused on building the best alternators we can and doing that the better than anyone else right now. Now not to say down the line we will not get back into brackets, but for now we just are not.

David Berger and his crew at DB designs will be doing the audio install, we are building the support trailer that will be pulled behind it, and also doing the multi alternator install.

So here is our newest demo build. 91 Caddy hearse. Planned to stuff it full and crank about 70,000 total watts. 60,000 to the subs and 10,000 to the mids/ highs.
