11Staffordr Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Hey, i was wondering if this was a really bad/dangerous voltage drop for what ive got. The lowest ive hit is 11.6v, but thats going full tilt. running about 4000w rms, big 3 is done, as well as a 0/1 gauge run from amp ground to big 3 grounds in the front.
Trey_Dog650 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah that's pretty low. I wouldn't want anything past 12.5 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
11Staffordr Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Posted March 30, 2013 What would be the next step to prevent it from dropping that low?
Trey_Dog650 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Well if running 4k I'd get a HO alt upgraded front batt and 2 batts in the back 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
SnowDrifter Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 What amp? If it's not anything like a JL Hd or anything else with a regulated power supply, it's not really a big deal as far as the amp is concerned. But you will need to watch for clipping, and dropping that low isn't too great for the battery either. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
