CLPeller Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Posted May 5, 2015 Semi-common. Do you listen to tunes just idling a lot? If not I wouldn't worry about it a ton. Do you go to shows and demo all day? if so yea something needs to get done. Either way man I see what you're saying and it's annoying, I would want it changed/fixed also. But, it does happen to others as well and if you don't plan on sitting there idling much then it's not even really an issue. I forget what people have done to remedy it. EDIT: I am noob, sorry I couldn't help. =( I don't do a lot of idling or shows. But I still don't like that it's not working as it should. I feel like putting a smaller pulley on it would kick it in sooner for charging, but it's already got a smaller one than stock. So I don't want to go about doing that before doing some more research. I'm going to get in touch with excessive amperage, but I've had it for quite some time now. Over a year I think. So I don't know if he'll do anything for it.

Karkov Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 I hear ya. if you put a smaller pulley on it then it MAY* make it spin too fast of an RPM (the alt) and shorten it's life or burn it up. Definitely ask them also, and we'll see what other on here say as I know people have had this issue. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

boom50cal Posted May 6, 2015 Report Posted May 6, 2015 thought about upping idle speed? any handheld tuner should do it. hell the dealer might even do it for you, or atleast have a way of installing a high idle switch like they do on the PowerStrokes On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

But I'd rather just have it work the way it's supposed to, rather than dump more money into trying to make it work.

gckless Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 L7's need large boxes. How much he selling them for? "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

CLPeller Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Posted July 20, 2015 L7's need large boxes. How much he selling them for? $2000. Seems reasonable to me. And I should have lots of room. Guys have done 4th orders with 6 18's in the back of an older body style. And I have way more cab space than them.
