DJ JDub Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 /do you lose a lot of power when going from amp to speaker through the box by bolts compared to straight wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRON Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Steve has four Mechman 350a. Just in case you're wondering, you should probably be looking at getting a Mechman alternator too. edit: Get a Mechman 370a six phase.

Ahmed Johnson Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I was just reading something in the ce auto section that said for music, 175 amps will equal 3000 watts. Give me a minute and I will find the link http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147995-ground-to-the-chassis-or-run-a-ground-cable-ce-auto-electric-supply-partners-with-damore-engineering-to-answer-video-on-pg-5/page-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecomah Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 for alts I like singer,dc , and mechman. and then I would look at excessive amperage 750??! Yeah, fuck that.

Kyblack76 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Basic way to calculate is every 1000 watts needs 100 amps of dedicated power...not shared. Most cars use 100 amps or less..Mostthat would mean that steve needs 3000 amps for that tahoe...? amp hours (battery bank) plays here yo.....

deadbroke Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I remember seeing something about this I want to say it was volts x amps = watts so if you know 2 of the 3 numbers you can work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphlyn Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Looking to get a high output alternator for my 98 blazer but am wondering how to determine what size of one I should get. Can someone help me out with this? Make sure you call the company you order from. I was going to go as big as possible and get the Mechman 270A alternator, but I called them and they told me that 270A is too much as my truck (2000 F150 V8) has issues with there being limited belt contact on the alternator pulley. They said the 270A would slip like crazy. Talked to them again and they said their last couple batches have been doing doing more then rated, 240A is doing 260A hot and the 270A is doing 300-320 hot. Hot being 200 degrees. After all is said and done the 240A suits me best (2400w rms) and my vehicle will be happy. Mechman has good service they saved me $100 and future potential problems. There's a lot of companies out there who won't tell you things to make the extra money. Glad I phoned.
