Battery/Alternator help


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised it even went to 14.9 with all that stuff. I have just 3 amps,about 680a maximum current draw,a high output alternator and three batteries. At full tilt while driving I will drop from 14.1 to 13.2 just playing for 10 minutes. You definitely need a new alt,atleast a 300+ amp capable one,I would trash that bat cap and run 2/3 of the same exact batteries that are dated close to each other. Make sure they are ALL fully charged and rest at the same voltage.

My car is not bass heavy. I mean its better than average but the gains are set low and i use an epicenter. When i had it set higher my windows used to fall into the doors lol. I broke every window regulator at least twice. How do i post pics on here if im using an iphone?

I was surprised too. It was good like that until i added my center console. At the time i had 31 speakers, 9 amps but then i added 19 speakers 2 amps. I knew the day would come when i would need a new alt, i dont have space for anymore batteries i dont think. Honestly, i came to u guys cause i know u would know what to do. I dont do my own work. The first time i dropped my car off for a month and thts when they did the doors, back deck, and trunk. Second time was for the center console and that took like a week. I wanna know wats good and right before i have a shop try to make money off me

Don't buy any more Amps/speakers. A good electrical system will make your system sound way better also it will make your shit last longer. A high output alt and two/three decka intimidators batts.that should be all you really need. Your amps are sitting on the edge of a cliff playing music with the voltage that low.
