fox_racin4 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Mechman talked to me like im a moron.. Fuck that. I had my mechman "425a" alt repaird.. Goig to send it back and see what they can clamp out of it.. Get this.. He said its a 425a alt... When i aske what they clampe out of it i got " oh we cant really get accturate numbers over 3xx amps.." Figure that out.. easy dude... please.. just say what you like..... i know some times the bad can be bad,... but,.. just plug what success you have had,.......... and your rolling for sure!!!...lol... i dont like..."ripping" on companys.. but commong.. if you cant clamp what an alts rated for... how the fuck can you rate it?! i paid ALOT for the alt at the time.. when i first got it in, i had an aq3500.1 at 1ohm and with 6 G31 batts i was dropping to mid 12s. that was my first concern.. they proceded to tell me its the rest of the system not the alt. ( alt also did fuck all till about 1200rpm) 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBleedMusick Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I like EA and Singer when I was in the market they both put up with all of my questions and I ask a shit ton of questions but Mike and Nate were always extremely helpful and responsive if I hadn't found an Ohio Gen 275a I would've ended up with one of theirs. Mechman and DC were way out of price range so I never gave it a shot to get in touch with them. As for Power Bastards I think Adam (HatersGonnaHate) had one and he had a terrible experience with IIRC 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had a bad experience, and somehow communications went blank. Then when I heard back I was able to get the issues sorted. I like Singer, there were problems but he fixed it, and made sure I ended up happy. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm not sure how you would load test a 300+ amp alt let alone a 400+ amp alt. Do you realize what kind of heat the load tester would have to dissipate to test that? try this, find a 5000 watt light bulb and see how close you can get to it, that alt is putting out 14.4v at 400+ amps, that is over 5000 watts of heat dude. edit typo Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

P4killer_ Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 So i called around. Mechman and Excessive are right around the same price point. I called Ohio Gen and needless to say meh.. anyway I was a couple bucks more for EA llike 10-15 bux so i went with them. A few dollars more for great cs is beyond worth it. He said he should have it out by thurs or so.. Im pumped. Its $$ I didnt need to spend but if my alts gonna die.. might as well Ill put of pix n such when it comes in Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
