xs power vcm
Nubcakeninja replied to Nubcakeninja's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
well guys i finally emailed the man mike and this is what he had to say Hello Jake this is not strange behavior at all actually, it is some innovations that have been made with the voltage regulators. Some of the newer internal regulators in certain alternators I have built act this exactly same way. Basically the VCM is designed to make the alternator compensate when a load is detected on the alternator by pulling voltage up. This feature is basically designed to boost alternator performance and response to any load that hits the alternator (to produce more power to compensate) Voltage is just a messaging system for the alternator to make power basically, every regulator will act differently in terms of what I like to refer as "refresh rate" some jump higher then their set point by a few tenths to as much as a half volt higher to compensate. This my friend is a sign of a very good installation also Good work on that end by the way! -

alright guys, this is kinda weird and idk why it would act this way, ill be putting up a vid soon once it finishes uploading but it would seem that when i turn on components in my truck... my voltage goes higher??? like when i step on the brake it goes from 14.6 to 14.9 or when i turn on the defroster it goes from 14.6 to 15.0 or 15.1 and then when i step on the brake it will go up to 15.3.... this is the strangest thing i think ive ever seen.. just wondering why this is happening or how this could be happening and is it something i need to be worried about?? and my stinger meter is like .1 off either way so ik its decent number to be looking at -

yea i havent had that problem yet, i have it set at 14.8 and when i get in and start it when its cold, i maybe see 14.9 for s bit but after it warms up i see 14.4-14.6 usually and thats what my stinger meter sees with no music or anything on and my meter on the xs vcm sees 14.9 at the highest so far when its locked at 14.8 -

Nubcakeninja replied to Nubcakeninja's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
the only really strage thing is that i set it at 14.8 so the meter on the actualy device shows 14.8 or 14.7 and ive got my stinger volt meter hooked up at the amp, ik they are notorious for not being that accurate but it was steady at 14 before i put the xs vcm in and now when im driving it stays right at about 14.4-14.6 but when i step on the brake it goes up to 14.8??? lol i dont know how that makes sense but im guessing its nothing i should be worrying about cuz im seeing 14.4 at the lowest right? -

fantastic piece of equipment, works great, having it charging at 14.8 and my amp sees anywhere from 14.4- 14.7 all the time.... love it!!! -

dc subwoofers options

Is the reinfocred surround or wide roll surround something I should be looking into just for getting loud and daily driving or is that more for competing? -

Nubcakeninja replied to Nubcakeninja's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
ah ok lol im looking into getting 2 level 4s for my t2500.1bd u think the level 4 will be able to take that power all day? i wanna push em and not burn up the coils obviously, lol my t1s get quite smelly sometimes haha -
just wondering what the advantages are behind the upgrades, like carbon dust caps and what are the upgrades for level 4 like i see some ppl say u can get the xl upgrade or level 5 upgrade? just wondering about all the different options. thanks in advance
