JP-12 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I don't have a high output alternator either and don't know if i can get because my car is Farley new, I contacted mike and he said he might have an option for an alt but he said he'd have to see and hell get back to me. I though maybe a second battery could make up for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Do you have a volt meter?

JP-12 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Would a die hard agm deep cycle battery up front and an xs in the back cause any problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 you might not even need much.. upgrade your wire do the big3 get a good agm up front and test to see what your voltage is.. after that you might not even need a rear battery Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP-12 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Even with a stock alt? I'm trying to get it to 14.4V Once i get everything done I'll test it and see where I'm at with just the front battery, I just thought it be easier to get everything done at once.

JP-12 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Does anyone know of any Xs dealers in the sacramento area? I used the dealer locator and it said west coast audio was a dealer and I called them they said they don't carry XS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 No amount of batteries will help you keep 14.4v. You need a high output alt for that. Call up DC power and see if they have anything for your car.

SnowDrifter Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Email DC, email MechmanWhile on the phone, ask if your alt is PCM controlled, or has some sort of fuel saving/voltage reducing functionality. If so, get the alt externally regulated so you bypass the stock wiring. Instead you'll get a blue box that you hook up to your alt and a dial that will let you set the voltage anywhere you want Edited March 24, 2014 by SnowDrifter Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP-12 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I emailed mechmen too and they didn't have one, I haven't tried DC though. And I really don't know what that is, where you talkin about when I'm not the phone with mechmen or dc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
