CJ18 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 NO SHIT, I GET IT, I gave you stuff to check and do and you will have a resolution, trust me I know this SHIT!!!!! LMAO I will check it tomorrow exactly as you suggested. Thanks for the help. I know all the connections are good because I just put in my new Shok Competition 0-ga today. But I will go over ever connection, every ground, every everything tomorrow with a fine-toothed comb before calling DC on Monday. It could be as simple as one nut/bolt that just isnt quite tight and is wiggling. It is usually something simple that you thought you did and just overlook.

Major voltage drop for no reason. Solution was as simple as 1 loose wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be as simple as one nut/bolt that just isnt quite tight and is wiggling. It is usually something simple that you thought you did and just overlook. I agree, but I have gone over it several times, both recently and months ago. Never hurts to go over everything again, and I will, but my setup is super-simple. Not like there is a lot of connections to get loose. About the only way I could make connections better would be to solder them. All grounds are to the frame, with the frame freshly tapped and sanded down to a bare metal connection. BTW, I drag race a very fast street car and built it all myself. I usually don't leave loose connections or untightened bolts and everything is triple-quadruple checked.

Captain Stupid Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Also what does the battery rest at truck off after sitting for like 5-6 hours? I just went out and checked. It is at 12.9 volts.

Connection could all be solid, but seeing as tomorrow is Sunday and you couldnt get through to DC POwer until Monday anyways, those are the next logical thing to check. Bad equipment is always a possibility, I have gotten a DOA alt, and had a d3100 go bad on me as well, shit breaks. BUT you also want to make sure you have checked everything on your end before you go and pull the alt and or battery and have to pay shipping to send it in to be checked out. One thing I would like to see you try, is un hook the battery from the alternator and try and run the amp on the battery alone. Start off at half volume and see what it does. If the d3100 cannot support a RF2500 at half volume, then the issue may be the battery itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 And if the battery is bad it could've also brought the alt down with it. under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

P4killer_ Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 ^^^^^^^^^ x2 a bad batt will easily thrash an alt.. hopefully not the case.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Also what does the battery rest at truck off after sitting for like 5-6 hours? I just went out and checked. It is at 12.9 volts. Truck has been sitting for just over 4 hours. Granted it needs to be load tested but considering it has been sitting for 4 hours and has excellent resting voltage I would say the battery is fine.
