  3. Sundown SA 15 box help

    in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!

    Posted

    I just ordered two sundown audio SA 15 d4 subs. I have a CT sounds 2500.1 that i plan on powering them with. I have a 2001 Oldsmobile alero 4 door, I took out my back seats and plan on puting a box back there since theres no room in the trunk. The amps are going in the trunk along with the battery. I have been doing research trying to find some box designs online but could only find 2 box designs that are slightly to big to fit. So if anybody could help me with a box design i would appreciate it alot. My max dimensions for my back seat are 26 height, 21 depth, 34 width . recommendations are 3-4 cubes 35hz. i would like the box to be on the smaller side but not to small maybe like 3.5 cubes to each sub or 3.2.

  9. 12 volts at idle?

    Posted

    I just got a 320 amp alt for my 2.4L Oldsmobile Alero and when im at idle it sits at the 12s but when i give it any gas they go up to 14.8 every time. If anybody can help me i would appreciate any advice. I have no subs or amps hooked up, I have 0 gauge CCA from the alt to the battery, 300 amp fuse, And ground from battery to mount on alt. Got a new belt also since the pulley is smaller on this alt.

    Will his little motor spin over 370amp without belt slip? Most large trucks with v8s cant go bigger then 270amp

    LOLOL wuttt
    My gas guzzling fire breathing f150 can only have a 250amp alt due to belt slip they said. So how he can have a 370amp on 2.4
    Simple. Bolt it in and wire it and giver shit.

    Belt wrap does alot. I run 1200A of alts On a TRUE (not a weekend "daily" driver) with no issues. Oviosly if i try to move my truck when alts are loaded down itll bearly move.

    An engine will spin anything to an extent.. BUTTTT will the belt hold? Thats when belt wrap and a good belt come into play. I have one alt that slips if i dont have good belt wrap. Odly enough its the stock position alt. ( N8 ill send you some pics of how to fix that..) and when it starts to slip my voltage will drop hard.

    do you think ill need a new belt or no?

    Good news is your gonna have little to no voltage drop at all

    hell ya dude. i only have about 1500 watts now with a xs power d3400 and my shit drops to 11s on alot of metal songs that dont even have that much bass. if i listen to any kinda rap i have to be on the highway for it not to go under 11s. but i dont put it through that much torture cause i pretty much only listen to metal.

    You should probably just stop that nonsense right now. I've got dual 300s on my truck. they spin with ease. And I still have enough giddyup to do anything a truck is supposed to do. and its just a ratty old 5.7

    I think I peed a little.

    Reed,

    Before getting upset and making a thread make sure you have contact with the company first. Remember mechman is not a huge outfit. While I don't know the total number of people employed they are not hundreds or thousands I dont think. They arent working a 24/7 with a customer service section dedicated to phone calls and emails. I don't get replies right away no one does. Mechman is here as a vendor and has been a mainstay here for years because they will and do have a great reputation. While you can't please everyone and you can see a few people in here who didnt have a good experience they will make it right. I'd say by giving you almost twice the alternator you ordered for they did alright in my book. You'll be set for your next couple of upgrades free of charge.

    ya man i hear ya. i appreciate you actually talking to me like a human being. i know i look like a douche now but at least i learned from this experience and i need to be more patient with companies. i know everybody on here probably just sees me as a spoiled little punk kid. but im not so whatever. im just glad mechman is going to fix it for me and upgrade also which is unbelievable cause you are right i wont have to worry about upgrading my electrical for a very long time.

    Just my 2 cent if it's o.k . Mechman is a stand up guy. And SMD is not the place to mess with him. And he is taking care of the problem. My parent Never bought me one red cent of cAR audio. Mom said to me when I was a youngster if you want car audio get off you AZZ and get a job buy it your self hun. But we all make mistakes a time are two.

    please tell me whenever i said she payed for anything? she brought it. simple as that. i have payed for every single thing in my car myself. so you can go talk shit some where else and get out my business.

    I just want to let everyone no that i never knew i was getting a 370 amp alt. if i knew that right from the start i wouldn't of never made this or said anything about shipping. I know it looks like im bashing but i really wasn't trying to. Im happy y'all are fixing it and im sorry for what seems to be a little misunderstanding and me being impatient. i would like to delete the whole thread but i don't know how. Sorry mechman i know yall are a good company now and i feel like a complete dick for making this.
