01VWGREENMACHINE Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 in my opinion you will need another alt to fix your problem battery's from what i am told is only a band-aid on a gunshot wound. was the same issue i was having i had 3 batts 1 upfront and 2 in the back my voltage was still dropping to 11's soon as i put a alt in to handle my power requirements my issue is no longer. the way i was told to calculate for amp draw from amps is take your total RMS and divide by the amount of volts your running it will give you the amount of amps your going to be drawing for your system your at 4800 rms give or take i always go on the high side just to be safe 4800 rms / 14 v ------------ 342.85 amps but if you figure on the high side you should be fine with a 340 amp alt since you cant go any higher try and find dual alt bracket and throw another 100amp alt or bigger will solve all of your issues in my opinion Quote http://www.stevemead...f-system-build/ 2001 VW GTI with a 1.8T motor BIG 3 Pioneer AVH-4200DVD DOUBLE DIN HEAD UNIT 6 - 4 VOLT PREOUTS RF T1500-BDCP (running at 2 ohm) RF T400.4 RF T1 D212 x2 (in ported box) RF 1/0 TO 4 GAUGE distribution block x 2 all stinger wires 200a alternator (SINGER ALT) RF T2652-S (6.5 MID BASS AND 1" TWEETS in front and rear) KINETIC HC 800 BATTERY (Front) KINETIC HC 1200 BATTERY (BACK) 120ft of 1/0 stinger blue and clear matt 20ft of 4 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 30ft of 8 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 100ft of 12 gauge stinger speaker wire black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relyks Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) if you are still having bad electrical drop there should be multiple grounds under the hood like on from body to engine block on from frame to body one from body to battery upgrade them and make sure there nice and tight . is wire on your alt also bigger with the new highoutput alt? if not it may be to small to pass the high output currents. thats a problem. i would upgrade all grounds imo. also mechman makes custom alts sometimes as well as dc power but if your giving out power to try and produce 4800watts your need to return it which is why i say upgrade all your grounds so big 3 engine block to body battery to body frame to engine frame to battery. everywhere you find a ground that returns to battery some how under the hood that deals with your alt and circulating power around your car then make it bigger it can never hurt.

Exploader1 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yea all my wire is upgraded to 0 gauge under the hood and in the back. Im probability gonna fab up a bracket and put another alternator. Because in the future im putting 2 more mojos and 2 more 2000d's so ill need 2 alternators and maybe like 4 batteries in the back Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/bosko612?feature=mhee check out and subscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just remember to get quality alternators, not some shop that just "beefs" the stock one up.... Quote Rest In Peace mother.

MECHMAN Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 As already stated, not all of our units are listed on the site. With 1000+ part numbers it would take a very long time to load them all between sales and tech calls, so we just hit the big numbers. Email me your full vehicle info and I will tell you what we can do for you. Quote 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
