Junior Russell Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 thought i was on a different thread sorry...but yeah its there just not as subtle...it could compete with the engine rumble Quote http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Jetta1637 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) and it's not holding a charge on the battery? is the battery new or older, and if the battery is older get it checked to see if it's ok. if it's ok and it checks out, you may need a new alt since it wont charge the battery to supply the car the electric it needs.

Junior Russell Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) bats old and im fairly possitive its bad cuz itll hold a charge enough to start up to 4 hours no idea bout 5,6 or 7 but at 8 hours it doesnt have enough chrage to start itself im thinking the alt is good though because of this other vid i have from the other day showing for the first time EVER the voltage dropping and jumping right back up you dont need sound for this one Edited May 22, 2012 by Junior Russell Quote http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doeboy99 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 take a multimeter and test the postive output stud on the alternator. IF its 13.5+ your alternator is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Russell Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 alright so i found out that the alternator is good (passed every test given) and thebattery is bad(which i already knew) turns out the battery is holding a charge but wont take a load(which i had a feeling it what was wrong) Quote http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
