4 SMD 340a Yellow Mechmans - WOW
AMI CUSTOMS replied to AMI CUSTOMS's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
Yes but since my truck idles at 1000 rpm I will see around 260-270 at my idle. -

AMI CUSTOMS replied to AMI CUSTOMS's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
Mechman told me at peak output 350 amp pull off each one I could expect as much as 15-16 hp pull from each one so 60-64 hp loss from the alts wide open. -

AMI CUSTOMS replied to AMI CUSTOMS's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
The specs on all 4 of mine are within 1-3 amps of each other tested voltage 14.4, low speed output at 800 rpm was 246+ amps and high speed 2000 rpm was 346+ amps. -
Just in case you don't know what 1/4 wave theory is Measure from the mic location to the sub dust cap in ft. Take 1126/your ft number Take that number divide by 4 for your peak in he at your 1/4 wave. Tune to that number for starters. So here is an example measurement from sub dust cap to kick is 5ft 1126/5= 225.2 225.2/4= 56.3 hz This particular example that vehicle peaked at 57 hz on the meter. But was tuned at 48 hz to account for cabin gain which is this application was tested to be 9-10hz. A lot of vehicles have 10hz worth of cabin gain.

Wiring Voltage Meter
AMI CUSTOMS replied to hdorre's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
The stinger meter is super easy to wire the wire are even colored for what they should be connected to Red - 12v amp power Black - amp ground Blue - amp remote Do that works like a champ. -
You will get some drop into the 12s, if you clip it hard you will see some more drop and the amp could protect, kicker, memphis, alpine, some rockford amps are bad about shuting down if you clip them with voltage drop because they are regulated power supplies that use pulse width modulation to regulate the output, so they make the same power all the time regardless of voltage input. But this has a downside, if you clip them to hard, coupled with voltage drop, they will protect.

So think I read this right, yellow top underhood, redtop in rear + x975? For 2500zx kicker amp? Hmmmm sure, that will work but you gonna have voltage drop, the newer 05+ version optima batteries hate current swings, ie they suck for car audio, they drop and stay there. 140 amp alt, that kicker amp is gonna pull close to 200 amps plus the mids amp will be another 50 amps, so long story short you gonna have some voltage drop.

Stock alt. multiple battery's
AMI CUSTOMS replied to slammed96's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
lolz at this, everyone chiming in and no one knows wtf amp he is even running and at what ohm load...... -
Interest in Big 3 kits?

Here is a shot of the amps these YELLOW beauties will be powering at 0.335 ohm each!!!! -

What mod to bracket? I have tripple alt bracket and cant get rid of belt noise..any info will help Go to the review section here, there is one a member did of the quad kit bracket. Just got it straight on the motor and got the most belt wrap I could with pulley changes. -

AMI CUSTOMS replied to AMI CUSTOMS's topic in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories
The external regulator allows for adjustment from 13 - 20volts for each pair of alts. I got them with the alts from Mechman, they are made by transpo. -
Wiring Voltage Meter
AMI CUSTOMS replied to hdorre's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Good idea and yes that will work, you could even tie 86 to ign source so you dont have another accessory on your remote wire. -
Too much power for lvl 6??
AMI CUSTOMS replied to gredysra's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
You competing Midwestspl? If you so you better build some loud shit if you want to do 4 15s for the class you would be in, just my 2 cents. -
And I wouldn't think twice about running dc amp at .25 ohm burp and .35 ohm daily, look at Lenny's truck with 3 9ks, he runs them at .35 ohm each amp no problem unless he clipps them then they go into protect.

Lolz at this^^^^^

Everytime you drop ohm load in half you drop damping control in half, that is the ability for the amp to control the driver, you also lower the efficiency of the amp, so for ultimate SQ you would want to still as high as possible ohm load wise. But will you notice a difference most likely not do to the fact it will be louder and harder to hear the difference.
