Omega5002 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Could be the Voltmeter just showing the wrong readings, do you have a multi meter to check it? I may have to redo my voltmeter, and borrow a DMM from someone, my AMM isn't going to read it well. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER1805 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I got a buddy who has a Stinger but its on a bad ground on the dash so whenever the dash flexes the voltmeter drops into the high 10's when he really stays above 13 so that could be the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the problem it can be a quick fix luckily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this fix would not affect, then is it time to upgrade your 4 gauge from battery to the amp...?

I don't think upgrading my power wire will fix my voltage drops, plus let me fix my voltmeter issue first, and then see. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog24fret Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Like the placing of the meter. Have you shot this by Snafu? I have no clue as what to next as you have went through almost everything. As long you don't need a better ground location. This sucks don't it. Even with the stock alt it should handle better than that IMO. How long do you think it will be for the alt rebuild?

If I find a job, it shouldn't take long I'm thinking about using the alt you gave me to see if I see better results, according to my question, the guys concluded that my alt is going bad. By the way, how old is the alt you gave me, and how long has it been used? 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
