reg93f150 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 you could maybe get another battery? bigger alternator? turn gain's down on amps? all i can think of off the top of my head right now. hopefully someone with a little better information on everything will chime in and pick up on what i left off on. ALL CREDIT TO XX1 FOR DC BANNER down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups strapping 2 amps together ? like bolting them next together? using bungy cables to hold them down? or wiring separate amps to each sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTC360 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 voltage drop will always happen unless you've got some insane electrical, now how much voltage drop are we talking about?

Guest Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 almost 200 amps worth of potential current draw. you can support like 100. you likely need a new alt if you want to remedy it. batteries will probably just suppress the voltage drop and make you last a little while longer.

audiolamb6 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 im not even running the back outputs on the 4 channel so it shouldnt be drop into the mid 11 so quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTC360 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 you'd be surprised how bad some cars charging systems come stock, like kranny said, it's time for an aftermarket alternator.

With my 60 amp stock I could barely make 700 watts before dropping into the 11s :/ A new alt is the only way to go really -But the other thing that hasn't been mentioned is how are your gains set? If you are clipping it will draw alot more current and you will drop voltage much quicker My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiolamb6 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 all set with dd-1 and i have backed it down some more just hope someone makes an alt. for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 all set with dd-1 and i have backed it down some more just hope someone makes an alt. for it Have you contacted Ohio Generators? They will make an alt for almost anything with a bracket and belt under the hood. I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
