SnowDrifter Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 Unplug your alt and see if your battery light comes on. If not, get an an aftermarket alt externally regulated. It will bypass the computer altogether ~~~~~~~~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
SkarredSierra Posted November 30, 2014 Report Posted November 30, 2014 instead of caps why not just get a second xs battery?

Tecomah Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong but I think caps last a hell of a lot longer since they have a ton of cycles to their lifespan 750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.^ DON'T BE A DICK LIKE THIS GUY Team Subsonic Lows

reedal Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 From Matthew at Machman " the stock alternator is PCM controlled, not sure how much (if any) the alternator output could be increased without causing possible computer or battery light problems. We have not yet done a 2014 model, so I cant say for sure. Regards, Matthew" Also don't want to void the ford warranty. Crescendo BC3500D, xs D3100, 2 1 farad 1000w caps, 2 M3 Memphis mojo 15" (1k rms 2k peak) and the stock Sony 12 speaker 390 watt stereo. I'll have to back to you on the voltage. Did you try Singer? When I was going to buy a 2014 cruze, neither mechman or DC Power Inc offered an alt for it, but Singer did. Could be worth checking out for you.

MatthewBigBossWilliams Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 I am curious about this too. I haven't seen anyone offer anything for my 2013 ford focus model .
snafu Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 I see the old caps don't work argument is still alive and well . . . the answers are in the RF forum. Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
