How often should you change a serpinite belt?
ChevyBoy95 replied to TRON's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
My truck is a daily, beat on it constantly before the rebuild, i have the same belt on there since i added dual alts, shows no signs of wear... that was 8kish miles and almost a year and a half. edit: I do keep the stock one in the truck incase, so i can just loop it on 1 alt if something happens. -

How many mids highs watts for skar 4500.1
ChevyBoy95 replied to Jdub's topic in SKAR AUDIO - (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)
I have a single 1000w 4 channel that keeps up with my wall on ~12kw. It is all about staging/imaging IMO. Pro audio helps, cone area helps, but all in all, there is no equation to find this out, since there are a TON of factors. -
D3100 in the rear
ChevyBoy95 replied to Nick4029's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
I would personally swap the stock battery to the comparable XS battery S series model. You "can" have the d3100 in the rear and the stock up front, but mixing battery chemistry's is not something you want to really do. -
How to determine what size alt?
ChevyBoy95 replied to rebar's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
depends on the vehicle, some at 60a, some are 80a, some are 140a, and so on, it is vehicle dependent on what your stock does. -
How to determine what size alt?
ChevyBoy95 replied to rebar's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
100a of alt for every 2000w is what I do. So if you run 6000w, get a 300a alt, 4000w, 200a alt. But in most cases GET THE BIGGEST YOU CAN FIT/AFFORD -
I have had 3 mechmans... all were 14.0v hot. Alts don't do full amperage at the voltage they charge @ with no load, so in reality... I dont get why people get hung up on stuff like this. Sometimes if it is hot enough, ill be @ 13.9v with dual alts.... only thing that matters is when the knob goes to the right, my voltage stays out of the dirt rather than looking down and going, "look how awesome that is.... 14.5v with no load!" edit : about the 1600w and dropping into the 12's with a 250a alt and 2 yellow tops??? you should be able to hold 13+ without a battery in the vehicle with that alt and the amp full tilt.

dc 12.0k @ .5 daily?
ChevyBoy95 replied to ilovetoinstall's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
13.8v idling on 2 190a alts? regardless of battery bank, if at idle, so realistically probably 70a-100a per alt, drawing 900-1000a (if you are really getting power out of it), there is no way you are holding "13.8v full tilt sitting still." I have 2 270a alts, and 6 group 31's, 1 group 34 (4 XS power @ 3 deka's), and with 2 5k boards @ .5 each, i can get it down to 12.9v without even clipping the amplifiers. -

Is the Zv4 well rounded ? I was looking at the X series but a dealer told me that it murders the lows but doesn't offer much in the midbass area (40-60hz) which would result in a huge cutoff from my components to substage. If the Zv4 is more well rounded then that would be good (my previous sub was sundown and I wouldn't mind staying with them if the price isn't too bad). Sounds like your dealer doesn't know what he is talking about.... What a sub can do is important, but what will make or break what it can do in your vehicle will be the box design.
