jereZacatecas18 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 I would put money on it being to small of an alt! The amp is under power and drawing to many amps and your one batt can hold the power and the alt cant charge it good so its causeing it to heat up real fast. THATS EXACTLY RIGHT
LoudBimmer Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 grab a XS power D3100 and should be fine. Once you get a chance upgrade alt too.
bujwah Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 im going to try all this tomorrow..ill keep u guys posted..and thank you so much is this what i should get for an alt? alt link Stay Golden
TeamHT Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Could be considered overkill, but I always upgrade the electrical first and stoutly. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
BassBomb™ Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 i see lots of confusion here and people asking questions he already answered. he has an RF 2500.1bdcp powering a Fi BTL N2 with a 2 ohm DVC wired up to 1 Ohm He has a stock Alt. and 1 Yellow top under the hood. Anyways it seems as though electrical upgrade is needed. put another batt in the back with the amp, re-check grounds and upgrade Alt. As mentioned before, its probably voltage drop. when the voltage drops the Amp will try compensate by drawing more current causing components to heat up and possibly even burn out. im no expert but it defiantly seems like you need an electrical upgrade
TeamHT Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks for the echo Thanks for the echo Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
bujwah Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 i sanded and moved the 2 grounds to a new spot and the heat went down to a very light warm. after about 20 mins of playing. i checked the voltage on the optima battery while play time and it was at around 13.2-13.7 never went under 13 though.but the amp is still getting pretty warm..not as hot as it was..but still pretty uncomfortably warm..Q ? with the big3 upgrade should i do that first and then get a new alt. or backwards..i only have about 250 dollars to play with right now. and i know that mechman alts are almost 600 >_> Stay Golden
TeamHT Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Lower voltage = more current. Fixing the ground merely solved one problem. You can do the big 3 now, but it is a bandaid on a hole. Where is your voltage meter connected to? Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
falcons03079313 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Upgrade the big three first. If you put a ho alt in with stock wiring, you won't be able to take full advantage of the amps it is putting out
