  1. You do relaize that alts don't have a flat charging curve, they ripple charge....and by doing that your putting alot of strees on that alt....

    I said I can do it, doesnt mean I start my truck up everyday, unhook the battery and go cruise around town.

    I got 4 batts in the truck now, and a HO alt, Im not worried about my alt.

    Im still trying to figure out how, if Im beating on my system, I drain the batts down, because I dont have enough alt to run the power, so the batts have a low charge, then I turn the system down, and my alt isnt supposed to charge my batteries.

    You guys make no sense at all.

    Im well aware they dont have a flat charging curve, lets say my alt does 160amps at idle, it takes roughly 60amps to run the truck, so where does the other 100 amps go?

    100 amps into a battery bank is roughly 25amps per battery of charging time, so that isnt a trickle charge, sounds like a hot charge to me.

    Oh wait, I used the term charge, 25amp "maintain".

  2. I know this is for bags and stuff, but I currently have a train horn on my truck, with a 120psi compressor, and a 4.5 gallon tank.

    I was wondering what fitting I would need to give me a 1/2 or whatever size it so I could hookup a standard air hose to like, lets say fill a tire or something like that.

    I have PLENTY of battery power so if it means running the compressor for a while, its still better than being stuck on the road with a flat and nothing to do about it.

    Thanks.

  3. Ok, Let me explain this as best as I can.

    I have 2 4 channels, both mounted to my amp rack, I have them on 2 distro blocks for power and ground(1/0in and 2 4ga out)

    I have engine whine pretty bad, and have tried almost every trick in the book.

    First off, I am not running a headunit right now, just iPod into the EQ.

    The amps are grounded roughly 3ft directly to my 2nd battery.

    The EQ is grounded the to chassis

    If I unplug the RCA's out of the amps, the engine noise stops

    I have tried a new set of RCA's, notta

    Power and RCA's are ran on the opposite sides of the truck

    I purchased a Stinger ground loop isolator from Darvex, still there and noticeable.

    Now, in all reality, Im sure the engine noise isnt that bad, but when you have 8 pro audio style 6.5s, everything's loud.

    I can drown it out by cranking it up really high, but In my mind its still there.

    I also have a train horn installed, and when the compressor kicks on, I can hear that through my speakers also(compressor is grounded to the frame of the truck.)

    Any other ideas?
