MrGeo Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) it only stops voltage drop so the sub doesn't get quieter, it doesn't make it louder, especially with only a 200 amp alt.

byers319 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 unless you had volt drop before, you wont get louder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 the alt is keeping the amp safe by keeping voltage up. unless you had a SERIOUS voltage problem before, its not likely to make an audible difference. however with a bigger alt, you can get a bigger amp. that will make a difference.
