greg662 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 i just put on my dc power 270 amp alt and now from idle all the way up to 3000 rpm it sits at 12.3. I have tested it with a damn and it matches my VM in my car. with stock alt I stayed around 14.4 until I turned my system up it would drop to the low 13 high 12 now it's dipping down to the 11s and idea what might be my problem?

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Sounds like the alternator isn't turned on. Check your connections and if you're still having problems call us. It's nothing about the alternator's turn on speed if it's constantly at 12.3 volts. Also, what vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikitaaa Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 A smaller pulley would cause the alternator to see higher rpm Quote 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
