Guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 you're going to be spending the same amount in batteries if you want to even think about running 2-3k on a stock alt. so why the hell not get an alt? you still havent contacted dc power or singer.

Great point. I'll give them each a call tommrow. Got a new DMM without the big 3 my voltage hit 11.5 but bounced back fast. With just the ground to frame hooked up It stayed in the 11's. I got fustrated with bad lighting and came in before I finished reconnecting everything so it's not as bad as I thought it was.

bassface Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 for a start fit the biggest thing you can under the hood min. xs d1200 (and if not fit, try a d925 or d975) with an upgraded ele, but if you have no success, do an off line ele system (separate from car) get a gm 180+amp(220 prefered) alt and fab some brackets and fit that with a xs d3100 or 2 in the rear I checked and a d3100 will squeeze under the hood. And I would love to run a sperate system but there is no chance under my hood. with a DMM check the voltage under the hood. It's funny, the amp will kill itself in order to protect itself lol. Definitely check the voltage to make sure you have enough to sustain an amplifier I gotta get a new DMM my last one suffered a painful death installing the box. But full tilt, were the gain is sposed to be, I dont have enough voltage. And when it gets low enough it will goto protect mode. The gain is set right now were it doesn't get close. Damn you can fit one under your hood, you lucky sob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve volz Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 A second bat close to the amp will help alot Quote http://www.stevemead...new-xfl-pg6-57/americanbass hd 12d22 audiopipe 1800.1ppi s580.4rockford p1653 frontpolk audio 6x9 rearbig 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
