Well as for my un named 253 amp alt , i think the the voltage regulator set curve is set different the the mechmans. They put out 220 amps at idle. Mine puts out 110 amp at idle and the mech mans are 1000 time better built yes but when i rev over 1300rpm i think i should get 220amp from mine atleast.... Mech mans are built for what we do. From what i heard they can set the regulator to your liking. My battery that i spent 300$ on is a northstar agm ultra. It has a crank pulse of 1600 amps so it says and the reserve capacity isent big due to the fact that the gm battery trays are so small.... Does it hurt an amp bumping at idle and i get a voltage drop to 13.2-13.4~ cause at idle thats what it falls to... I never checked voltage drop at the amp itself tho... Thx to whom is helping me steer in the right direction. I miss my subs and i might pick up a rockford t2500 but i wanna see why im frying amps first.... If i blew the mosfets in that rockford like the orion did id be soooo pissed!

For wire run front to back ive got the bigest welding cable i could find 4/0. Its like 3 0guage wires in one. Cost me 300$ for 16 feet lol. For batterys i have two under the hood. One agm with gold post(not lead) that cost me 300$ (900cca) and a regular lead acid batt (800cca). For an alternator ive got a 253 amp . I went to see my local altornator dealer and showed him what was going he said my belt was too loose. so im working on routing it differently with double the tension No batteries in the back ...

Alright . with the gm alt's does it make sence after i start my truck on a cold day it notice my batts lost charge so the voltage goes up to 14.8 to recharge my batteries. I dont have volt drop when it does that. Its like the rectifier in my alt goes to max. Then once the batts are charge or a normal day ill get volt drop on idle. I have a 253amp alt... The rectifyer should output amps when it needs it shouldnt ?

I was wonderin if i can keep 1 12.6 volt batt and add a 14volt batt(xs power) in parallel togethor ? Will this over charge my 12 v batt. I know my alt is running at 14.4 v and i plan on adding a diode to bump my voltage up to 14.8 ish on the alt. im just wondering if it will overcharge and damage my 12 v agm battery

In order for me to tune low and not have port noise i need to have the piping sticking out a few inches ... Would it be better to change my port location to the side soo i can go up to 25" long insted of only 13" on the dept side... Anyone have an input for me would be great -
