Already been fucked out of an alternator prior Have a $150 dollar investment in my shed rotting away that if someone would like to take a look at and fix, that would be greatly appreciated Side note, bought a 220 amp kit from springhillautoelectric with a 46mm pully. shit put out nothing at idle or was broken when installed. all internal pieces switched minus rotor which is probably the problem?

ryderonthestorm Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Hell no bro dont buy that shit. I bought one from them a couple years ago when I was just gettin back into car audio and the thing didnt put out near what it said it would and then straight up burnt up after about a week of use. I called them and spoke to their "tech". He said they would refund it but he was busy and would call me back with return information. Never called back and I could never get anybody back on the line when I called back about 10 times. Finally said fuck it and just ate it. Went with DC and have been a happy camper for about a year and a half now lol.

DB Electrical has been around for a while, so they seem pretty reputable. I don't know this as fact, but I get the gut feeling that they simply re-manufacture and rebuild those alts with "hot" parts (hence the overdrive pulley). Don't get me wrong- I did the exact same thing you did: I rebuilt my small case alternator with hot parts from Spring Hill Auto Electric too. Put a small pulley on it and let her rip. I have low voltage issues at Idle too- not really low, but none of this 14.4+ at idle. At 1,000+ rpm though, it holds pretty well. I don't compete with this thing and wouldn't be able to. Plus- I really don't trust it enough to be a daily driver. Neither of these are close to a proper DC Power, MechMan, or etc... but- they are half the price. So... you get what you pay for. ***NINJA'd!!!*** Edited September 6, 2011 by Colin - 1HVYHTR Quote 12 - 12"s in the STAY PUFT 1989 Chevy Astro Build & Comment Log Un-Interrupted Build LogYouTube Channel Chevy Trailblazer 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Install You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain.

nCOMP1337 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) the few people i know that have used db electrical, have had no issue, but they have had <2000 rms systems, not sure if that matters id suggest getting a quote from mike singer at singer alternators, see where his price range lands for you, for me, his price was a good deal cheaper for same power alt then some of the competitors i got quotes from and he has a great reputation in the car audio community for multiple reasons and ive heard nothing but good things about his alts also hoping for a used one from a more reputable company or saving up is the other way to go Edited September 6, 2011 by kynto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
