    Seeing as you just bought a charger Im sure you never hooked up a charger to it in the past. One of the first things you should do is charge the battery before use. Next: An alternator is never meant to charge a battery but rather keep them maintained, especially if you have a stock alternator that is typically just large enough to keep the stock battery decent. Continuing on, batteries that go left with a lower charge can have lead sulfate buildup on the plates inside the battery which causes the battery to become weaker. If your battery charger has a recondition mode on it I would use that and try to get your battery in good shape again. It would probably be best to remove the battery from the vehicle when doing this so that A: nothing is connected to it, and B: the recovery mode can take a REALLY long time (sometimes even days). So you dont want to be unplugging the charger to drive your vehicle in the middle of a recovery just to have to go and start that process over again.

    Optima batteries are junk, period. That link you posted is a joke.. Lets compare 5 batteries for "the best car audio battery"..... Of those 5 batteries in their test, 4 of which are Optima, the 5th battery is an Odyssey battery that is half the weight of the other batteries being compared. The smaller battery means lower everything so its no doubt a larger battery would be better.. Odyssey makes great batteries and the equavilant sized odyssey that was not included in that test would of shit all over the optima batteries. Lets not forget leading batteries on the market are no where to be found. XS Power, BatCap, Kinetik, Northstar, or even an actual Odyssey battery the same group size of the optimas being tested... Optima batteries are old news, and been so for the last 10+ years when they fail to advance their battery technology to remain competitive, and this is why that article is a biased joke because they need to use another brand battery half the size to prove that the optimas are good when their really not.. You just fell victim to marketing.. I mean to show how stupid this test is they are saying the Optima 34 is #4 on the list and the Optima 34R is #5 on the list.... I ts the same damn battery with same specs how is one better then the other.... The only real difference is the R and that R is meant for REVERSE, meaning the positive and negative terminals are swapped around... I wouldnt be surprised if Optima paid someone to right such a biased review/test.

    Since Photobucket is TRASH I got the okay to upgrade the Supporting member accounts for uploading direct to the site. Bronze members get 3mb per pic.

    Silver members get 6mb per pic.
    Gold members get 9mb per pic.

    Lets try these numbers and see how it goes. Im hoping that gold package will be large enough for users to not have to edit their photo sizes at all!

    Thank!!

      Steve is not available to confirm that you paid for it right now, so unless you message me a screenshot of the paypal payment made I cant set up your account until he is able too.

      Your choice.
      Thanks!

    I changed the settings, you should be able to edit your post to remove the bad photobucket links. Photobucket doesnt allow 3rd party hosting unless you pay them $400 up front for a year. You can still access your account save your images and host them elsewhere like imageshack or imgur.

  8. audiofanaticz

    Attention! normal members (non paid) are able to edit their posts again. With SOTM back in action, and the recent loss of photobucket making users pay crazy sums of money it is easier to allow the users to fix their own pictures in their threads.

    Thanks

    I thought it was dead dead, but it wouldn't surprise me to go fail with another builder. lol Couldnt pay me enough to touch that thing, everything is so rigged, rigs on top of rigs on top of rigs. Im amazed how people can just trash a vehicle and still be in "business".
  11. audiofanaticz
    Is trippis hummer a thing again?? lol last i knew it was dead in the water with icrappi's ?
  12. audiofanaticz
    eh, its hard to buy new when you have 3 grand invested in 3 alternators that seem like all the need is new bearings and maybe some new brushes.
  13. audiofanaticz
    My current 3 are hanging on to life by a thread. They are so bad I have 2 plugs disconnected and went back to the oem belt to hopefully not damage them worse. Sounds like my tahoe has a supercharger... LOL

    iirc they should be coming soon now that they have made new molds to have the housing made for the vm-1, tm-1, and om-1 which all use the same case. The other company filing bankruptcy and closing the doors screwed them over big time since they had paid for the molds to be tooled and couldnt get in contact with anyone to get them back which is why everything has been out of stock. I dont for see a om-2 happening because they already have a vu-din which is somewhat similar, think I still have one sitting in a box that I bought to use and havent touched yet. lol
  15. audiofanaticz
    3 of those would look great under my truck hood ?
  16. audiofanaticz
    yea its crazy what people will pay for that crap, your money your life, do you!

    Really wouldnt put it past them to blocking anything that doesn't fit their brand/agenda. They have been in the news before for blocking some news networks and not others, as well as all the firearm controversy. I would never step foot in a starbucks let alone give them any of my money with how they try to enforce censorship, but its their company and they can operate it as they want. I guess for me its easy to boycott the establishment all together since I don't drink normal coffee or the fancy liberal coffee.. ?

    To my knowledge Starbucks blocked porn sites way back in 2016 already when users are on their free wifi, but then again so many sites are giving the wrong classification so that maybe why your able to view porn still. Chances are if it works on your phone without wifi using 3g, works on your phone with your home wifi, but on starbucks wifi it doesn't work that clearly shows where the issue is coming from. Besides that its not like we can go and type "block starbucks users" and no longer allow them since there is really no way of knowing what IP every starbucks user is using to block every single person on their wifi network. Granted we can see your IP when the account is created, the user makes a post, etc, but we dont know if its coming from starbucks or your home. All we would really be able to tell is the internet service provider without massive digging. Its most likely an issue on their network, maybe ask a manager and see what he says.

    That wouldn't be a problem on our end, that would be a problem with Starbucks. With their wifi they can restrict any site they choose too through their settings and are restricting/blocking websites that are probably not rated G, PG, or PG-13 or some crap. Im sure the site directly is not to blame but falls into some classification/rating that we have no control over. This is why rules are strict when posting some content in say threads like RPP for example.

    Yup, cutting all wires even length, stipping wires even lengthis, cutting even length adhesive lined heat shrink, soldering the wires, wrapping in techflex or tesa tap. Bestbuy installers crimp caps and butt connectors and call it good to go.....

    If it was a harness like I use in most of my vehicles it would be pretty quick. 12v constant, 12v switched, Ground, Remote. Done
  23. audiofanaticz
    Yes you can, I would use a low setting around 3-5 amps, you dont want to use any higher settings ever really when charging batteries, too much amperage can cook batteries.
