Acceptable voltage drop?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Given the equipment in my sig, what should be the amount of drop that I get? Currently with my amp I don't have a scope or dd1 so I matched gains as accurate as I could by input voltage and the clipping indicator on the bass knob. Before the clip light goes off it drops as much as 1v. When the clipping light is going it drops as much as 1.7v. It does not seem to change with or without my rear battery installed. I didn't think it should drop that much with what I'm running.

People on mobile can't see your sig so you should post your gear for us.

I don't know what your running but most people are happy to stay above battery voltage. I personally on a total of 3400-3800rms I'll be happy to stay above 13v.

Can't do a proper big 3 on my vehicle because it has rvc but the wires that could be upgraded have been. If my voltage decides to float at 14.2, at full tilt will go down to 12.5 and if it floats at 13.6 then will drop to about 12. I have no answer other than the way rvc works for the change between the 13.6-14.2 voltage fluctuation.

Talk with mechman and see what info they can give you on increasing voltage for your vehicle.

12v isn't bad. More is always better but that's not bad drop imo.

As long as my amps are still on I don't care what my voltage is lol.

no but seriously I would be happy with holding battery voltage.

What I'm trying to figure out is if the drop that I'm getting is what it should be or should it be less? Also is there a specific reason that with or without my rear Kinetik installed the drop is the exact same?
