DJ_Stubbs Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I ran a distribution block for power and ground. And i would upgrade my alternator. but its going to be expensive. and i havent found any good alts for a 2003 volvo v70.i came across one 200amp alt. But thats the only one higher than my 140 ive seen. 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 2.0L Flowmaster Single muffler + Tip 4 SoundQubed 6x9s 3-way PolkAudio PA660.4 2 MB Quart Tweeters 2 4" MB Quart 2-way New 8" coming soon!

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yeah building a solid electrical system isn't cheap especially when you need to upgrade batteries and alternators. 140A is pretty good as far as OEM stuff goes.

DJ_Stubbs Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 It's either 120 or 140 Amp alt.

The max fuse size you can use depends on the wire. True AWG 0ga can carry up to 300 amps I believe depending ont the length of the run etc. Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Stubbs Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Got rid of the whine pretty much!Just cleaned up my ground wiring a little. its still kind of there but its definitely more bareable then before. Still need to do the big 3. Will this help my battery charge up better?Ive been noticing some weird voltage drops recently, but it never goes below 12. But it really stay above 13.5. but it sometimes cuts out and drops to like 11. then goes back up. Will the big 3 help it stay more stable? 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 2.0L Flowmaster Single muffler + Tip 4 SoundQubed 6x9s 3-way PolkAudio PA660.4 2 MB Quart Tweeters 2 4" MB Quart 2-way New 8" coming soon!
