206xtreme Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Hello guys. Happy new year. I finally installed my mechman alternator on my car. It's a universal 320A unit. It comes with an external voltage regulator module. I tried twisting the the screw on the voltage regulator but nothing changed. I link you a video of my voltage. Something is wrong with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXXb-X95VoU Any ideas? Please help me. Thank you in advance. 2007 Peugeot 206 1400cc 75hpHead Unit: Pioneer DEH 80PRSSpeakers+Tweeters Amplifier: 2 x Hifonics Colossus Generation X3Bass Amplifiers: 2 x Taramps HD8000 (quadraple copper terminals by Toolmaker Metalworkz)Tweeters: 6 x Digital Designs VO-B2 + 4 x Beyma CP21/fMidrange Speakers: 20 x 8" Beyma 8M100 NdSubwoofers: 2 x Digital Designs 9918 walledAlternators: Mechman 320A universal + Bosch 260ARCA: Dragster OFC twisted triple shieldedWires: 0gauge big3 upgrade with SP audio, Currents with SP audio, Grounds with Rockford FosgateBatteries: 980AH of power with copper rails.Alarm: Python 5303P So far 161.4 dB with a Cadence 9kW @ Salamina 2014.

206xtreme Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 I also e-mailed Mechman. I followed the installation advice they gave me but still the problem exists. I fried my amplifier due to over-voltage and got a damage of 200 euro (about 240 usd). And I am afraid I will soon fry my car's whole electric-electronic system! The previous video was of the alternator in hot state. I give you another video of the alt in cold state. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS4Peiz4toY&feature=youtu.be 2007 Peugeot 206 1400cc 75hpHead Unit: Pioneer DEH 80PRSSpeakers+Tweeters Amplifier: 2 x Hifonics Colossus Generation X3Bass Amplifiers: 2 x Taramps HD8000 (quadraple copper terminals by Toolmaker Metalworkz)Tweeters: 6 x Digital Designs VO-B2 + 4 x Beyma CP21/fMidrange Speakers: 20 x 8" Beyma 8M100 NdSubwoofers: 2 x Digital Designs 9918 walledAlternators: Mechman 320A universal + Bosch 260ARCA: Dragster OFC twisted triple shieldedWires: 0gauge big3 upgrade with SP audio, Currents with SP audio, Grounds with Rockford FosgateBatteries: 980AH of power with copper rails.Alarm: Python 5303P So far 161.4 dB with a Cadence 9kW @ Salamina 2014.

Redhaze Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Sarcasm much ^ that wont help you find a answer... if emailing mechman didnt help do all you can do by urself... diagnose things yourself Reset your ECU (unplug all battery grounds). Recheck all your alternator wiring make sure the harness that plugs into your alternator is in all the way (if your vehicle has one). Check your grounds maybe you have a bad ground on your alt or battery.. after 10-30mins of all the grounds being off reground your batts if it hasnt stablized after all that put your stock back on until you ship it back or find a replacement Just another lurker
