Bump4life Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just went on a drive out for lunch. Full tilt air forces by Jeezy wasn't dropping below 13.1 and really pushing for it on my Knob. It's 68 and raining. I think grounds are my issue. And heat. Cause I was resting at 13.8 and 13.5 at idle. So that means I only drop .7 which is expected Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

Nikitaaa Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I drop less with a 180 amp dc power and my AB 750.1.. much less.. with less batteries.. Something must be wrong. You need to get a clamp on that alt. Sorry if I missed it but is that 11.7 at idle? If it is your rpms might night be high enough to turn the alt on. Are you reading your voltage from the amps or front of the car? 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Reading voltage at amps and batts currently. I have 2 meters. I would think less drop too. Unless this dd m3b really puts out power lol. And 11.7 is at amps at full tilt while driving. I idle about 13 when everything is hot. The minute I turn it down I recover instantly on voltage.

singeralternators Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 For the current draw you have you need to have more batteries behind the alternator. The batteries are a buffering system for the alternator and if there is not enough reserve for where the current is being drawn from the next link is the alternator (and the only thing the alternator can do is heat up when the batteries are not there). Adding the direct grounds will also help. Sounds like everyone else already figured it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
