rysc86 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Woah! Yeah, I'm looking at them now. SOB why does car audio have to be such an expensive hobby? Edit: where are the "OEM" alts? I'm doing all this from my iPhone since I don't have a working computer sorry just checked the site, they don't have a "oem" series alt for a 04 pilot. cheapest one is the 389 dollar hp series 1997 crown vic police interceptor headunit: avic x710bt sub amp: powerbass xta 1500d sub: fi 15" bl fully loaded enclosure: 3.5 cubes @ 33hz firing through rear deck mids/highs: crappy pioneer paper cone 6x9's and stock rears for now mid/high amp:h/u power FTL wiring: knuconceptz 1/0 memphis interterconnects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 If you go through Advance Auto Parts and get THIS ALTERNATOR, make an online account and use the promo code "BIG30", you'll get $30 off of $136.99 for $106.99. All you have to do is pay the core charge up front i think and once you get the alt and take yours off, just box the old one up and send it back or take it into the store to get your core back. Just a thought. For anyone else who may be interested, I have used the following codes to order stuff from Advance Auto Parts several times and they always seem to work for me when you order online, whether for delivery or in-store pickup. BIG30=$30 off of a $ 8O purchase BIG50=$50 off of a $ 200 purchase UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachJoshua Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Throw your amps in your vehicle and get a voltage meter... all the electrical upgrade you need... If you drop below 12V start upgrading.

SwaggerWagon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I was getting around 13v with just one P500 pushing around 700 rms. I hooked up a friends P2s just a little bit ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwaggerWagon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Lbox88, what does the "12v" rating mean on that advanced auto parts alt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaggerWagon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 And is the 130 amps when in idle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 The 12V should be a minimum but actually have a setpoint closer to 14.5~15V and as far as the current rating goes, if it's at all like my Powermaster, the 130A is the approximate median between idle and highway. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it put out 90A~100A at idle and 140A~150A at highway speeds. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaggerWagon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Word. Is Powermaster it's own company or did you get it through advanced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it put out 90A~100A at idle and 140A~150A at highway speeds. what? ive never seen a company use an "median" rating. that 130 amps is max output, at 2000rpm engine speed (generally). there is no way to tell of idle output unless you either ask the company and they know, or you buy it and test it yourself. and 12v means it will output about 13-15v, generally 14.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
