C-Fizzy Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 No never that. Because DC power NEVER makes a bad product! under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

CJ18 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 So Brian if you're going to defend dc power so much, then maybe you can answer his MAIN QUESTION as to why his alternator isn't producing 270 amps like its claimed. This post isn't about how much amperage his amp draws, or how sturdy a fuse is, so please enlighten us. Since they clamped the alt and didn't see 270 amps. Because if you read the information he posted... He has a 200amp fuse between his d3100 battery which is under the hood and the amp. He is not really exceeding the limitations of that 200amp fuse, which is why it lasted so long before finally blowing. An alternator is not going to make 270amps of current, if there is no load worth of 270amps since the amp is drawing ruffly 200amps of current. which I already stated...... You also said the fuse can exceed the amount of power and not blow, and that some 200a fuses are closer to 300a. Plus that still doesn't explain why the voltage is so low. If it was putting out 170a and keeping the voltage up that's one thing. But it's putting out less than rated power and the voltage is falling flat on it's face This could be caused by the regulator going bad. IF the internal regulator is starting to go out, then the alt wont be able to keep up with the voltage/current demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 here you go.. perfect thread... explaining the same thing I am...... and your doing the same limited load test on the alt as a autoparts store would. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/23792-why-your-local-autoparts-store-cant-test-your-alt-properly/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I mean it could be possible that he has a bad alt and all of this arguing is for no good reason. This is true.

Captain Stupid Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Since I posted I will try to help. What does the alt(current) and voltage do with everything on, high beams, AC on max, emergency flashers, and system full tilt with a 15 sec sine wave playing at idle and then at 2000k engine rpm? Answer that and you will have your answer regardless of wiring and fusing. Thanks for trying to help. The system would not play a sine wave at idle or 2000 rpm for 15 solid seconds without going into protect....because the alt is not charging at a high enough amperage to keep the amp alone running on a sine wave. Seriously, it needs 4000+ rpm to even play more than 15 seconds on music before cutting out. I wouldn't even bother turning on all that other stuff. That is what is so baffling. The alt is not producing enough amperage due to lack of things to draw current. As posted on the first page I was clamping 170a at 2000 rpm with the stereo on full volume, and 209a at 4000+ rpm with the stereo on full volume. 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...

But some people will never admit it under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Ryan_H Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Not sure ware you are getting that Audiofanaticz is talking down people? He is simply stating facts and using his knolage to help you and others to look at to figure out problems, is this not what forums are all about?
