Captain Stupid Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey guys. I just bought a new DC Power 270a alt, internally regulated. We clamped it and are only getting 170a at 2000+ RPM on a load. The amplifier is drawing the voltage down and cutting off after maybe 20 seconds because it isn't getting enough power. All Shok 0-ga, big 3 done, D3100 battery with RF T2500bdcp amp on two 18s. Please help, I don't want to call DC and say the alt isn't working right until I am 100% positive that everything has been checked. Is there something with a 2006 Escalade in the electronics that keeps this alt from pushing full amperage?

memphisBred Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Call them and ask Agreed. Who better to get support/knowledge from than the company who built the alt. They'll be happy to help you through your troubles. SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08tahoe Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'd say it's putting out about what it should. Look at the output current table. It sais 179 amps at 2000 rpm's:https://www.dcpowerinc.com/fit/2006~Cadillac~Escalade-EXT~6.0L-V8/8237-270-xp.html#tab-alternator_performance_sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Quick question, do you have it as a single alt setup or as a dual alt setup? formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies. Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Stupid Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 It s single alt. the rating at 2000 rpm is alternator rpm, not engine rpm. Should be making 250+a at 2000 engine rpm. Just checked it and took the engine over 4000 rpm and could still only manage 209a clamped. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
