SVB847 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I was wondering if you guys can give me some input on some changes i am making to my electrical system. Currently i am running two "220 amp" alternators from a off brand. These are being ran together using a MLA. I recently purchased a DC Power 320 amp alternator to replace one of my off brand units. My question is this: would it be best to just replace one of them and continue using them together using my MLA, or split them up and have the 320 power my audio system and use one of the 220s to power the vehicle? Or do you have any other ideas or input? My equipment list is in signature.

n8ball2013 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 you are on an all twelve volt system right/ no sixteen volts ora nything like that? If so Id run them together. no sense on splitting your voltage. Your factory electrical wont use the 220 to its full capabilities so youd be really underutilizing it while your system is capable of maxing out your 320.

Yes just a standard 12volt system, nothing crazy. Thats what i was thinking, i just wasnt sure if having two diff alts (output size) would work properly connected via my MLA. I also was thinking it may be better to scrap the MLA (since it is not adjustable) and grab something like the XS Power VCM. 2000 Chevy SuburbanPioneer AVHP8400BH8 - 18" Fi SP4 Subwoofers (fully loaded) B Pillar 4th Order (75 cubes)2 - Ampere Audio 8.0 TFE AmpsRF T6004 AmpRF T4002 Amp4 - Selenium 8W4P Mids8 - Selenium 6W4P Mids6 - Crescendo XST2 Supertweeters2 - Selenium ST200 SupertweetersDC Power 320 Alt & Js Ultimate 27011 - Group 31 BatsBuild Log:http://www.stevemead...01bdcp-updated/Team GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i didnt really think of doing that since i have the dual bracket, but that is a great idea as well. 2000 Chevy SuburbanPioneer AVHP8400BH8 - 18" Fi SP4 Subwoofers (fully loaded) B Pillar 4th Order (75 cubes)2 - Ampere Audio 8.0 TFE AmpsRF T6004 AmpRF T4002 Amp4 - Selenium 8W4P Mids8 - Selenium 6W4P Mids6 - Crescendo XST2 Supertweeters2 - Selenium ST200 SupertweetersDC Power 320 Alt & Js Ultimate 27011 - Group 31 BatsBuild Log:http://www.stevemead...01bdcp-updated/Team GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
