wowfun2 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 My friend is running 0 gauge power all 4 inputs, and he is also running big 3 upgrade which helps a little bit. I know he is going to need at least 2 more batteries but does he also need 230amps alternator or is he fine with stock as long he gets another 2-4 more batteries? How is that possible going to hurt the amps if he is running low voltage, explain please? The guy who posted about he ran 9 voltage... I've seen people run their system at 9-10 voltage without anyproblems, however isn't proving more unleash power. 2 12 Kickers CVR | Kenwood 9105D @ 2 Ohms | Box tuned 39 hertz low custom | Nissan Maxima 01 SE 3.5 | I have no idea what my dB at "If you hear me Booming around the block then you better be prepared to call the police on me before I drive-by your house!"

kl0wn Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 You shouldn't run amplifiers on that low of voltage. You risk frying the components when running that low. Yes I dropped to the 9s but I didn't continue to let it play when I noticed. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford96 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I would never let it drop to 9-10 volts mot only does it strain all your equipment.. but im pretty sure not posotive but pretty sure ot can damage your battery and maybe alt i know it will definitly shorten the life of them..

RooTxBeeR Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 the thing you must realize too, decaf's songs are meant to push a system to its limits, and if your not careful. can easily push it beyond its limits.

Guest Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 he needs the biggest alt he can get for his car. like at least a 250 or a 300. low voltage = more stress = more heat on the internal components since they have to work harder to make a given output. heat kills electronics.

Kyblack76 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Can't imagine how low he is dropping... I dropped my old AQ2200 to 9v's once on accident and it didn't even go into protect. You took my post, right outta my mouth. If in fact the amp is going into low voltage protection, my god, thats gotta be wicked low. Put a meter on it, and play it again. Use the MIN/MAX/AVERAGE mode on the meter if you have the option. I wanna see the LOWEST it sees. Its odd, cuz, Ive read more than once on this forum, about a amp protecting ONLY at a specific freq. Maybe he is at .5 ohm wise, and its ok with rise at higher freq's then, protects for impedance at that 25hz. (im just tossing shit around guys, so dont go ham on me) Also, before everyone flames me, yes, i see he is off on a bat bank, and even supply, but, to protect that amp with low voltage, like 8.5v low, id think, the amp would be protecting more than just the ONE song that plays that low. If it was me, yes, id add bank, and supply, BUT, id also be sniffing around. Hell, not even sniffing, id go through and have a meter, and clamp on everything. Just for kicks....I love that shit.... lol SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hammer Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 you guys are assuming strapped...couldnt he be running each at 2ohms? Then what still like 5k on stock electrical right?

Swordlordboy1234 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 How many batteries do I need for 8k? 1?... Cool. All seriousness from here, I'd recommend 4 group 31's if NOT Xs power. And 2 group 31's if d3100's. ATLEAST a 320 amp alternator. And make sure he has good 1/0... There are great brands everywhere now, no need to run cheap wires. AT KNU SHCA. and get a damn volt meter. I ran my Skar down to 10.4v once and it didn't protect... That was before I delt with my electrical properly. Your prob dipping below 9v. Not only will you have broken amps that are built like a tank to begin with, but his computer in the Tahoe will be fried for low voltage aswell. Wanna play the audio game better get electrical or your gonna have to replace 2k worth of audio equipment, 3k worth of car computers and such, and then have to upgrade the electrical properly anyways for another 1500+. But hey. Don't mind me, I could be wrong.

Your guess about certain frequency causing it, could be. Only time ive really seen that though is when the person was wired stupidly low. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
