How does your voltage go that low with a 425a alt and that many group 31's? Ive got a Crescendo bc3500 and all i have is an ebay "Hi Amps" 165 amp alternator, a yellow top in front, normal car battery in back, big 3, and one positive run and i stay in the low 14's to high 13's

Voltage drops for music and for burps are totally different stories.

The reason i say that is because drops for burps are not " low 1Xs to high 1Xs" Generally drops derived from burps are much more precise. So i am assuming that you don't know your drop on burps.

Yeah true. Didnt think about the difference between burping and just bumping

Make a sheet and do clamp it at different frequencies like this

It's "possible" your math is right. I had over a 200watt difference with .05 of a change on my DC3.5k. But the aq is supposed to do 800 at 4 ohm iirc.

Yeah for my setup (which includes an AQ 3500.1) on music i never see below 13v, but on burps the voltage gets low enough to cut out the volt meter. Its scary... you see 14, then burp, then 9, then blank. :peepwall:

i resolve to be a nicer moderator.

Yeah that's what I was saying lol. Instead of the YT up front (outside) and the wet one inside, I'd switch em. Either way, sealed or not, I'd rather have a dry batt in the car with me. :shrug:

To each their own.

x2 It doesnt really matter that much i think
