dog24fret Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ok, I'll check in later on it hope it goes well. At least either way you have a spare case for a big build . I wasn't for sure about them now compared to a few yrs back lol. What do I search for? Haven't found any yet just everything else but what I'm looking for. That sucks its still down. After we talked about your yellow light of death I thought mine was going down until the yellow light on the front wasn't the right yellow light. Made myself freak out like a stupid old man lol. Just had it rebuilt last year cause the blue ray section wasn't working. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crandis16 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Any luck yet? Does it drop into 10s when driving too or just at idle? I could understand dropping so low at idle because alt can only put out ~700wrms but while moving with 100amps like you said you should have twice that. And I'm sure your amp isn't 100% efficient at putting out 900wrms so you shouldn't see that much drop. Get a DMM and tune that VM. I had to do that for my stinger and it's been working well so far because I'm not loud enough to break it My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare that has only 20k miles of use cause I think my current one is going bad due to age. Voltmeter is untunable, and nobody here has a DMM. 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...
Omega5002 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, I swapped out the alts, and... the voltage is still the same. Car drives better though, so I gained something. Time to save up for a 2nd battery, oh well, it's only at full tilt where my votlage sucks, few clicks down, and it's good. 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...

Omega5002 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 So I have good news, I relocated my amp's ground to a different grounding source, because I came to discover that I grounded my amp to the fuel pump by mistake, so I relocated it to the suspension strut, which still needs more sanding, and I tested the same song I used to test voltage drop I went from the lowest being 10.9 to 11.7, and saw more flex in my car, so I guess the cause of my electrical problems was simply a crappy ground, go figure lol Well, I learn something new everyday, that's for sure. 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...
scooter99 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 If you have the means, I've always grounded straight to the frame on it's own independent hole. You should try that too.

I tried doing that but I came to realize I don't have proper drills to do it, so I have it grounded on a strut for the meantime. 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...
