Yea an just for fun, I checked my voltage at amp (AQ1200D at 1) and my drop is from 13.98v to 13.69v, on my highest listening level. Battery up from reads 14.08v but didn't measure it's drop.
-
Do you have room for a second alt? You could probably get away with adding another stock alt. It would be way cheaper than buying a HO alt. That is if you can fab your own bracket or know someone that can help you with that.
Ehh maybe, I checked yesterday and I feel confident with the amount of open space to the side of my current alt, I could fit a 2 more alts if I had the fab skill, as in room, not that I would. Dual stock is an option.

If you want an alternator, you should also try emailing mechman about a unit, or try seeing if you can get an alternator though tejcurrent, ohio generators is a great company too.
Yea I need to look around. Even though mechman and dc power make solid units, I don't want to spend 450-500 dollars on a alternator, but idk I might have to.
-
As of now I'm checking out DC Power to see if they have anything that fits my application, which is probably like 220 amps or so. Hopefully I can find one that isnt $500 though.

please base your comment off of experience, hands on experience... not to be rude to anyone.

You should be fine with just a second battery, or maybe just a really good front battery. I personally draw the line for alternator upgrades at 3Krms or when you want to run more than 2 batteries. Just what I've gained from experience.
My front battery spot wont hold a REALLY GOOD battery, tried to find an XS or Kinetik to replace but the juice wouldnt be worth the squeeze in that sense. I could add a fat ass batt in the back, i would just need to find a place for it.
-
trust me i know the whole, it takes power to make power, but for my application, hence not competing, i was looking for a daily thing, drives usually never over 15 or 20 minutes, and bassing about 10 of those minutes.
-
Ok i have big 3, big ass interstate battery, stock alt (i think its like 110 or 105 amps), as of now i have a AQ1200D at 13.6 volts and 1 ohm, full tilt with virtually zero voltage drop. What would be better, 2 batteries (roughly 250 ea) or 1 HO alt (roughly 400) around 250-280amps? Looking to run 2 AQ1200Ds for daily.
-
to the OP, did you measure that voltage when you were playing at idle? because it would make absolute sense. i have (likely) more electrical draw than you on a smaller alternator and i hardly drop while driving.

I am running a AQ1200D and a DSC450(50x4) and have zero drop. Steady 13.6v full tilt, stock alt, no extra batteries.
-
yes good amps. and underrated.
-
one gains 10, other loses 10. its simple math.
-
could make some... if you have some little left over pieces of mdf and some nuts and bolts.

Soundstorm Labs "1600 watt" amp. Then a Pioneer GM-7200m.

None of those would work, he needs a final load no less than 2 ohms.
-
Wire all the coils in parallel, then wire the subs in parallel in pairs(now there are 3 pairs of dvc4s wired to 3 1 ohm loads). Then series them together aka 3 ohms.
-
2 4ks on 2 SMD 15s? In that old half wall style. That was in it way back.
-
I think you just have to reverse the wiring on the two inverted ones. IM NOT SURE THIS IS CORRECT, JUST WHAT I HAVE HEARD

just wanted to clear up some burning questions about cigars. I am only in for the taste and play so do not worry
nice pun.

If someone would be kind enough to explain how to upload pictures, with my staggering 20 posts and all, I will upload a picture of the un-exploded side.
after you upload it with the big green button, find the coding that has the
and copy the whole thing and paste it in your post.i got ninja'd!

no reason to go in through the firewall at all.
and the way my spot was were people usually run power wire, up at the pedal area, is so cramped and a hard position to get to so i went to home depot and got a bit(up to 3/4, not a unibit, and it was like 7.50) that bores(dont know if i spelled that right) metal and picked up my dewalt impact and went to work. took like 5min to run my wire.
-
where did you run it?? like what part of the frame or where
i dont have a tahoe but i have a chevy.
and i havent finished cleaning it up, etc, 4ga hole siting there and stuff like that, but you get the idea.
and copy the whole thing and paste it in your post.
best amp for 500
