AMI CUSTOMS

They where trained, charged at 14.9 for three weeks, then drained to 12.5 and recharged again.

How many amps your amp pull full tilt and what your alt put out full tilt? Amps wise.

I bulged my d3400 from just charging at 14.7 constant for 4 hours. So it happens with less voltage if the heat is right.

Since you asked about these two different people, if they are charging that high once they are in hot float mode of the alts, then they are overcharging if they are running that high, and emit gas from the batts. It is chemistry there is no way around it.

Read this AGM battery so you don't have to take my word for it. If you are dropping voltage, since you asked, you don't have the current from the alt to supply the demand, upgrade your alt. If you need more info I would be glad to help. Not trying to come off as a dick if I did, just trying to help and save you headaches that I have already experienced several times over.

If you OVERCHARGE, which running at 15 volts constant is overcharging, that will emit gas. WOW!!!!

Perhaps you should do a little research then because you are wrong. Here I will help you out, this is one of Optima's disclaimers all there batts are AGM's, XS power has a similar disclaimer but I can't find it anywhere Always use a voltage regulated battery charger with limits set to the above ratings. Overcharging can cause the safety valves to open and battery gases to escape, causing premature end of life. These gases are flammable! You cannot replace water in sealed batteries that have been overcharged. Any battery that becomes very hot while charging should be disconnected immediately. You can also run into the battery expanding or bulging out due to excessive overcharging due to the extreme heat that is created from prolonged overcharging.

So you guys that charge these at 15+ volts for several hours like turning you d3100 into a d3400 or smaller, because you are aware you are forcing the gas out of the battery. Have fun replacing batteries every couple of years.

What do you have your bass boost set to? I believe that is driving you to clip faster, and if the light is blinking it is just a "soft" clip, only once it is solid it is actually clipping. I have the bass boost on my 3500d.1's set to zero, you don't need bass boost ever!!!! LOL

This is the only audio forum that I am on really, only cuz I know a few fellas on this forum. The build log is on gmfullsize.com under the audio section and then also on arspl forum, which is the local state comp forum.

Thanks, I would like to do a build log here, I have one on another forum. It won't allow me to link pictures to this forum from my website since my pictures don't have jpg or jpeg in the address, some feature with this forum I guess so it means I would have to host all my pictures on a different server, which there is over 100 for this build.

It sounds awesome on music, it is tuned to 37 hz for music and pounds!!!! Here it is demoing at another show, that is Tony(fritosaregood) getting hairtrick'd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNbSBezm3J4&playnext=1&videos=nKElK_n8j_8&feature=mfu_in_order

First score, sealed up on the dash, second score and watch Cody's face that is outlaw style. This show was October 3rd. Enjoy
