if i add one d3100 in the back will this fix my problems?
-
i had that issue on my old truck, i made a thread about it but it seems that the higher notes are more strenuous on your batt/alts
i wonder why?
-
How many batteries you got?
right now only one yellowtop in the front..had a hc600 but that was before my new alt..
start with a big 3 so your batteries can draw more current, if you dont have extra batteries then look in to getting some, i see you live close to me i can refer you to a place with cheap C&D batteries if you want to pic some up it all depends on how many you buy for a better deal..
that would be cool if u could hook me up with some info on those batts..im definately looking for some in the back!

alright as some might know i have a 18" solo w/ 4000wrms. big 3 and all that..just installed my 260 alt yesterday..volts are high but here is the thing... when normal low bass hits it sounds good and my volts are normal..but when this high bass hits (that doesnt seem to affect my sub ) it drops my volts below 10. i believe my box is tuned to 32 or 35 hrtz. for example listen to this song.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NevdQ4yjcM its e40 - back in business..the low bass hits great..then there is this high part in there and that is the one causing my volts to drop incredibly! is this due to tuning from box? or a setting i need to adjust on my amp or something? any info would help. thanks! other song i like that i cant really listen to due to this is too short - gangsters and strippers..hopefully i can get this solved with the help of someone on here thanks!

I would just pay the money to get an idea of what numbers you are pulling off. Local shop around here charged me $25 and I did not even get to control my own H/U.
to pthrift, that is just a rule of thumb in the "science behind hair trick video" made by Ed. You can do a hair trick with hitting lower than that, but it's not hair getting blown up and moving erratically like we all like it to.
Off topic for a minute though, not trying to thread jack or anything, but pthrift. It says your location is VA, may I ask where in VA you are located? You can PM me if you would like so we do not thread jack the OP.
i woulda been mad if they didnt even let me control my own stereo!
but okay..i most likely will soon then. thanks

realize that you're new; and tryin to help you out before you get flamed like there's no tomorrow.
no way to honestly tell db without putting the vehicle on a meter and testing.
lol my bad man..i knew someone was going to say that..i figure someone who had a 4k system with one 18 tuned to 35 hrtz would roughly get about..but yea, i was thinking about going to the local audio shop cuz they have a termlab (or something close) but they wants 20 bucks :/
-
yeah make the box tuned low so it moves more air and play a chopped and screwed song with real low notes
its tuned to 32 to 35 hz. one or the other cant remember
-
Wall?
im still new to the whole scene..how do i wall?
Rule of thumb according to Ed is that you need around 150db to pull off an actual hair trick.
how many db do you think im getting?
Needs moar hair
lol

got 1 18" solo x. in a 3000gt. i dont know what specs my buddy had on the box..it pounds and you can feel a lot..i just know i can get some hairtricks out of this sub...my new alt comes tomorrow..so maybe if someone could send me specs on a good box that will fit in the back of my 3000gt that would be nice! like i said..i get air..my clothes move a little..and when i try a hairtrick there hair moves a tiny..but i want more if there is no tips or anything i might just have to settle until i can get a bigger suv thanks

What kind of car is it?
what commercial is your gif from? lol

You also might consider getting rid of those circuit breakers and get two 250amp ANL fuses. Those circuit breakers are a no no!!
why are they a no no? i spent more for them just so i dont have to keep replacing! uh ohh :/
-
install it outside of the dealership and swear a lot while doing it.
LMFAO!!! good shit right there!!
-
damn, i wish i can go!!! but i live 4 hours away and i get off at 1pm
-
good luck getting that mother fucker in...
o wait u probably have the dohc...still a son of a bitch to get in....
any advice?
-
i clicked the iraggi link on this site..here is the one i want..good price?
also my car is a dohc..is this going to be a pain in the ass? anyone have a layout or something online on how to replace the alt?
-
If you have the sohc dont get the mechman. retarded ass bracket made for that alt on that car so the brake line is right in the way of the plug and it will end of chipping the plug. trust me...its a bitch...
i have been quoted iraggi from 220 all the way up to 300. i think dc can do the same. prepare to pay a lot because its not a common alt.
its dohc.
-
amps X volts = 3168 thats how he got it, he took 220 amps X 14.4 volts
oOOOoh! thank you very much!
-
220 Amps means the alterator produces an average peak of 220 amperes of current, which at 14.4 volts is 3,168 watts of power.
If your volts dip, you lose power. If you dont run in the peak RPM range, you lose power. It doesnt matter though given that you will not be feeding your system 4000w RMS and driving for extended periods of time, so any time the system does require more than the alternator can give it will just take it from the battery (as long as the battery(ies) are ok).
thank you for your helpful info! i appreciate it! dont know how you knew it was 3/168 watts, but im sure i can figure it out eventually..obviously 220 amps puts that much watts..once again thank you!
-
ill just save for the iraggi h.o 220.. also is 220 gonna do me? i dnt rreally understand amps when it comes to alts. i know people with 300 etc.

The highest recommended i have seen are DC, Iraggi, Mechman and excesive amperage. The cheapest quote i got for a 200a for my car was through Iraggi. But there are other companies that make them and are cheaper. Powerbastards.com was cheaper, but i asked around and no one i found really uses them... so its a gamble. Could be a good product at low price, could be trash.
yea, what re you going to decide to throw in yours? also if i went with another alt (which i will) how hard would it be dor keep my old one in there, and run dual?
powerbastards - 220 amp = 299
iraggi 220 = 439
hmm..i wonder why so cheapp...i wanna save some money, but i also want good product..it might just be worth the extra to save..
-
okay, im a little confused about the power for alts. im about to buy a high output one for my 3000gt..its 220amp. is this good or should i go bigger? im going to be powering 4000wrms. what exactly does 220 amps mean? thank you!
-
well time to make a choice theres iraggi,dc,ohiogen.,mechman, check em out and make a choice I just installed my 300 amp iraggi and it whent perfectly no problems and a noticble difference in sound quality and bass I'm happy with it
where did you find yours at? could only find 220 for mine..unless they make the bigger ones for different cars? im confused! lol
why is my voltage dropping liike this??
