How's my electrical?


Recommended Posts

Posted

my brother has a DC power alt 270a a deka under the hood and 2 kinetik hc2000 in the rear.. after i tuned his ride with the DD-1 he only dropped to 13.6 at idle and he is running a bc3500 so with this guy having d3100 he shouldnt be getting any drop unless he tuned wrong

i have a ampere 3800.1

dc 180 alt

1 deka 60 ah up front and 2 deka group 31 105 ah in the rear

2 runs of ofc pos and negative

did my big 3 with ofc sky high 2/0

never dip below 13.

try adding another run of wiring and is it cca or ofc?

gear in sig - minimal drop at idle full tilt. You should be good with a DC 5.0k + no clip on your electrical.

CURRENT SYSTEM:

  • Alternator:
    1. Stock alt on mids/highs
    2. Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v

you dont need a bigger alt to run 5k I ran 2 3500's @.5 in my subaru with a dc 230xp and 4 batteries. try adding a few more grounds. maybe one off the rear batts to the frame and another off front battery to frame. adding grounds always helps my voltage

I was completly unaware that clipping caused voltage drops, I may need to have someone put a DD on my amp cause I really don't see any voltage drops BUT the song Make It Rain with Lil'Wayne and Fat Joe the beginning part that isn't even really bass it's more of a higher note actually it makes it almost look like I'm flashing my headlights at people.

Yes I find it weird it ONLY does it on THAT part of that song other then that no voltage drop, no dimming lights, nothing but i still turned the gain down a hair.

different frequencies makes the woofers impedance change. lower impedance = more power = more current drawn from electrical.

your amp can also clip at lets say 60hz but be fine at 30hz on X woofer.
