Leedogg Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Well- today is bitter-sweet. Hooked up the 4pin harness like Singer said to. White wire to sensing point(ran to charging post), and blue wire to keyed on power. Tied into the rear fuse block- replaced the fuses with the right ones, 350's to the amp - 200's from Alt.(they were all 150's from the first time I installed them) I also hooked up the remote wire to the 5500, I just had to hear it. Started the truck up and it doesn't seem to be charging. My voltmeter shows 12.6 while running, or off. I used my test light to verify that both wires were 'hot', and they were. Well time came that I had to roll out to pick up my twins. Got to their house(45 min drive), and it hasn't moved off 12.6 the whole way. I had turned the sub channel off during the ride. So once there I had to let it hit a lil. Well maybe a lot.(for about 5 mins) It was pulling down to 12.0-11.9. But went right back to 12.6. well the whole 45 min ride home we jammed out. I'd let it pull down to 12.1, but each time it rebounded to 12.6. I was expecting to drop a couple of tenths, and not recover. Right now I am just frustrated. I may be out 450 bucks if this alt is shot. I bought it used. I really think I don't have something hooked up right. I'll dig more into it this weekend. On the sweet side. DAMN it hits something nice. Got a good sound. Heard no chuffing(I was worried with only 105" of port). Got that 'Tantric smell' pretty quick though.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Use smaller fuses man and that sucks about the alt hopefully you didn't get burned. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

magillaru Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Install looks really nice man! Sucks about the electrical issue though.....maybe a bad regulator? If that's all it is, pretty easy fix..... Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moredbs Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Looking good! Just curious to what belt you used for the alternators. i can kinda see it in the pic above, the reason i ask is cause the only one i could find for my dual singer setup that worked proper was a gates. ( k061140) just a thought of why you might be having trouble, just trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My belt came with the kit. the Idler between the alts it adjustable a good bit. My stock tensioner rider right in the middle of the "good" marks. And I got the kit from Jimmy Zukauska on F/B. 200 shipped with belt. Took the truck out to the store a bit ago- same thing- I can pound it and it gets down to high 11's during the note hits...then bounces right back to 12.6. Gonna borrow a good Fluke meter tomorrow and verify that the gauge is accurate. then, double check the lettering on the alts plug receptacle, to make sure I wired it correct. if that all checks out- I'll hit up Mike Monday Morning. 01 Suburban Z71 - 5.3L - Black - 6" Lift on 35's - Pioneer H/U - Kicker Mids, 8" Polk sub.

Leedogg Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Small update- Went back thru my emails with Singer and realized I wired the damn thing up wrong. DOH! So I repinned the connector right, and viola! charging. Started the truck up and had 13.6 on the meter. Alot better than the 12.5 I been looking at for 2 days. So I headed out to bring my boys home., and during the 40 minute drive, it slowly made it's way back up to 14.0 by the time we got there. Figuring it had been charging its ass off for 40 mins, I hung out for a while to let it cool. Then when I left for home- I saw that glorious 14.4 on start up, and 14.1-2 when cruising. at idle is sits on 14.0 hot. I can deal with that for sure. Nice thing is- Even when I pound on it, the voltage doesn't go below 13.0. Also bought a cheaper Volt and ohm meter this morning to make sure it wasn't a bad reading. Checked the ohms on my amp...I am seeing .8 at the outputs. the are dual 2 subs. I was expecting .5. Does it affect the reading when they are hooked up to the amp? Also how do you figure out the impedance curve? These Tantrics pound pretty good though. I am still running the factory Bose highs, Can't turn the H/U over about 20. so the amp gain is turned up a bit, and just playing it by ear. They have a slight electrical smell, but I've read that Tantrics are known for that. after beating on them a bit, the amp and subs get luke warm, but no where near hot. Going to try to start on the front stage this week. 01 Suburban Z71 - 5.3L - Black - 6" Lift on 35's - Pioneer H/U - Kicker Mids, 8" Polk sub.
