Looks like this thread is gonna be between Matt and Kyle
-
I swapped my Iraggi's for Mechman not too long ago. The NUMBER 1 reason I went with them is Matthew hands down. If you have a problem and call (or leave a message) he is there and highly knowledgeable. If you're on the fence call and see what he has to say, he won't bs you. They use high quality parts and not some junk oem crap from overseas or used junk parts from old alternators (not saying anyone in particular does, just saying they don't use junk as a general statement).
My last alt was ordered on a Monday here by Wednesday.

Matt Logan from Mechman guaranteed you can call him, and he will ask you a couple of questions about how much power you wanna run, he will go over prices, and if it doesnt fit he will send you certain mounts free of charge. I got a 270 amp Largecase for 400, and I got it Tested it did 291 amps max, and alot at idle i believe it was around 174
btw: ordered on a Monday, was here thursday

Not trying to sound like a hater or anything, But I've heard just as much maybe not even more stories about DC Power, and Irragi, i guess you can pick which one you want, but you Pretty much every company has bad alts and stories, there is probably 50 on here every week about irragi, and doesnt mean its a bad company.... just saying
-
Go with Mechman, I believe they have a 270 for your car, they are awesome, and you get it very quickly
-
Damn Dude....... This is a really interesting design, never seen anything like it at all hmm..........
-
That Mechman 270 is Wonderful man you will love it. Mines been clamped and puts out about 290
-
Dude im no gonna bash on you or the product, but for as many layers as it will take to stop the rattles, you would be beter off buying secondskin. Ant is on here nd he is a cool guy, they have great prices, especially right now, they had a deal going on 50%off Damplifier, I don't know if it's still going on tho. but not to hate on Peel and Seal, but i don't think its very effective, a couple of people on here have installed it, and i saw one thread where a guy put it on and after a demo 85% fell off
you wouldn't need more than 45 sq^ft
-
Damn dude, I'm glad to know that you are ok, could have been alot worse
-
They also made an 18w6 as well.
lol Dual 6 ohm??? That would suck
-
18" JL ?
I didnt think they made an 18 either, but long ago they made a 18" Jl W3, They are super Hard to Find. Actually about 5 months ago on Ebay they had one OBO For 345 Shipped
For People that have never actually seen one

Here is a link for 2 on ebay right now

This Build is CRAZY MAN!!!!!!! I'm ready to see this done, all i can say is Triple Stripper Pole FTMFW
-
it was terrible and the bad thing is is that he looked like that was supposed to happen lol
-
Well i have a buddy that has 1 12 inch kenwood in the back of his truck on a pioneer 760 watt amp. Well he was getting ready to put in a neon light in his truck and well his brother told him it was ok to hook it up to the amp. So he hooked the postive and negative to the amp, but i have no idea why he also ran the cd player positive wire to the amp also. So he calls me and says can you fix this for me and as soon as i looked at it I
:rofl: . The Deck was originally silver it was Black, along with the neon bulb, and amp.FAIL OF THE DAY
-
Knowing what I know of T9, this will be a good album. I'll probably pick it up.
This is a good album, i like the darkside of him better like the K.O.D, Sickology etc., But this cd has good songs on it
-
Dude you will probably get Super F**kin Banned, You Know Meade said not 2 put a link for copyrighted material
BTW: Its a good cd, was the first in a huge line to get it at midnight
-
Maybe he didnt charge the cap right. U gotta charge it to like 12 volts or something. Its probably not charged all the way. Or just lose the cap and dont fuck with it. Either one.
I thought about that also, I guess tomorrow ima gonna start with charging the cap, then go to removing it and record results, hopefully he will go with a batt, and then that will solve it
-
here is my guess. the battery is draining after that time goes by. the alt is working to charge the battery and run the system. the cap is trying to charge as well but since it charges so fast is just sucking power only to have it taken immediately away by the amps. so it never really gets a charge.
very quick explanation because i gotta run off. sorry if it didnt make sense lol.
Actually man that made perfect sense to me, That is true that caps charge and discharge quicker than batts. That could be the problem. Do you think a bat and maybe 2 runs of positive and negative would work better??
-
well, its a pretty easy breakdown just on what you said. if the voltage is 14.0-13.9 at the battery and then it drops that low @ the amp, the only thing in between is the cap.
I Agree there. I guess hes gonna go without bass for awhile until he can afford a new batt.
-
I Would think if a cap was bringing down the amp voltage, the front battery voltage would be worse than what it is also?
-
id get rid of the cap and see how that does....my buddies swear by caps and well i rather use a extra sealed battery than add a cap to a system....
I agree, i think hes planning on group 31 yellowtop
-
he's working on that, hes got a part time job and full time student. right now we are just trying to diagnose a problwm, are you saying the cap is lowering amp volts??
-
double post FTL, I should have edited again but too late now, he's running 1/0 from front to back aand then 1/0 to amp
-
I have a buddy that is running a brutus 2610D, hes got a dc power alt and his voltmeter at the batt reads 14.5 at idle, when full tilt reads 14.0-13.9, all he has in the trunk is a hybrid power acoustik capacitor. Today i noticed his voltages differ. When first startup the batt voltage in front is 14.8 and so it the cap's. But after some time listening to music, when he full tilts it his batt in front reads 14.0 to 13.9, but his hybrid cap reads 13.5 to 11.1 when the songs freq changes. I got out my voltage meter and the amps read the same voltage as the caps. How can this problem be fixed.
EDIT:: Car is a Civic, has a everstart batt in front
:rofl:
I NEED A GOOD ALT!!!

I agree they dont have there own spot, but as i did research i found less negatives on sites that Sold more mechman alts than any other brand. And i dont know about DC Power or Irragi, they could be good, I'm just going with what i know.... Just Saying
