Exploader1 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hello everyone I have a question I have 2 hifonics 2000d going to 2 12 in Memphis mojos and a hifonics 800 rms amp going to dd components..i was having really bad power drainage issues so I got a capacitor...which didn't do shit lol so I got a kinetik hc2000 battery under the hood that helped a little then I replaced my 90 amp alternator and had a 240amp built and that helped a little more but still I at idle almost instantly as I turn it up I go from 15 volts down to 11 sometimes 10 volts ...i was wondering what else I could do to help my power from draining so fast?

Rebel4055 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 A cap can only help if you got the proper electrical to back it up. What kinda alternator did you get? We need to know this. Where are your amps grounded and how are your gains set? Everything secure as far as power wire? How are you monitoring the voltage? Quote Rest In Peace mother.

kraz1021 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 have you done the big 3.does your H.O alt have a smaller overdrive pulley on it.alot of H.O alts wont put out much power at idle without a smaller pulley to make it spin faster to give you the juice you need at idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewbie Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Did you do the big 3? ^ Big three, possibly another battery in back, and run 0 gauge for wire. Should help with alot of the drainage. I'd avoid playing it at full tilt so you don't damage anything do this till you do the big three if you haven't or pick up another battery, XS would be your best bet.

Rebel4055 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Where are your grounds grounded to? I'm wondering if that alternator isn't doing anything at idle... Bring the RPMS up and see if you still get mad drop. Also what about your amp gains. Quote Rest In Peace mother.
