What is a "6 phase" alternator?
AMI CUSTOMS replied to MECHMAN's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
And when you have 4+ of these units you are able to achieve maximum cowbell!!!! -
I am doing 4 mids and 4 tweets wired at 2 ohms each pair which is 170 x 4 on the 120.4 so each is seeing 85 w, so my vision is same but with one amp lol

AMI CUSTOMS replied to Tarball's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
You're a jackass that will burn up your car's electrical, all amps, and all batteries. Better? LMAO!!!! Is it possible, yes, is it practical, NO. -

Will this battery be enough?
AMI CUSTOMS replied to Question Mark's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Get the group 31 version and you will be fine. And to the other comment above xs power isn't the best, they are one of the better battery brands but there are too many factors to consider to say they are the best. -
proper fuse rating for wire
AMI CUSTOMS replied to boostin302's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
300 amp fuse for BIG 3, I run 300 amp ANL fuses on all my pure OFC 1/0 wire under 25 ft. -
SOLDER vs. CRIMPING
AMI CUSTOMS replied to Sutliff's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
A solid good crimp is a better connection. The last 1000+ 1/0 wires/cables I have made have all been terminated with mega crimpers and you could pull the ring with a truck and it wouldn't come off. Now that is what I am talking about!!!! -

Stinger Led Volt Meter Issues
AMI CUSTOMS replied to potatochipd's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
I have 5 stinger meters in my truck and all of them work fine. Sounds like operator error lol -
Dual inputs and fusing.
AMI CUSTOMS replied to EVL-100's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
I would run 300 amp fuses for each line. Fuse to the rating of the cable for this type of setup and not the rating into the amp. Otherwise you aren't gaining anything with the dual inputs. -
4 SMD 340a Yellow Mechmans - WOW
AMI CUSTOMS replied to AMI CUSTOMS's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
Alright got everything DONE!!!! 16 runs of Stinger Pro/HPM 1/0 front to back!!! Now I must say thanks to Mike, Eric and Josh at Mechman for all their help with working the regulator bugs out with me over the phone and everything works perfectly!!! I have one regulator controlling 2 alts at a time (each regulator has a heavy duty relay and switch in my center console), so I can leave two alts off when daily driving around town for a little better fuel mpg. Also Josh helped me figure out a way to keep the dash light off in the message center since the stock alt plug isn't plugged into anything, that battery light was getting on my nerves. I took a female 4 pin plug and just connect the two middle wires together and plugged that into the stock plug, battery light GONE!!!! Did all the mods to the Quad bracket as well like in the review done about a year ago, bracket is nice and straight and all the alts line up great. I must say I am very pleased at this point, knowing I have a rock SOLID electrical is gonna make this build go alot smoother. Thanks again MECHMAN!!!! -
Another reason why you want to run individual grounds from front to back and 4 of them is because copper wire is way more conductive then a steel frame, and with 4 alts you don't want to run 1000+ amps of current thru that metal frame, it is much better suited going thru copper wire.
-
The alternator is the charging source you need power and ground to complete the circuit, electricity takes path of least resistance so it all starts at the alt, so ground at the alt. Simple as that!!!!
-
I bet that is it, I used Win7 and didn't have any problems and now that I think about it was on a burnt disk.
-
Yeah either daisy chain them and run individual ones as well or just do the second method and run all cables to the front battery first power and ground for each alt (8 cables total) and then 8 to rear. I also have a 9140 in my EVO and I know what you mean, this one is lightning fast compared to that unit. It is the best kenwood double din I have had. And you have to do updates with the SD card on the 9140 for it to work right I believe.
-
One run of 1/0 off each alt to the rear is fine then, and do one run of 1/0 off each mounting bolt on each alt for ground to the rear. Then do one run power to front battery off one alt and one ground to front alt. Or you could run all four alts power and ground to front battery first then go to rear batteries. You will have total of 8 cables thru the yukon. 4 power, 4 ground. Also make sure he does BIG 3 in 1/0 at same time.

I have replaced customers amps from loose connections so be a good investment in your equipment to have solid connections.
