bmxscion Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have the big G series from Mechman. I also have a D3400 under the hood all wired properly, if not over kill. Mine charges at around 14.7 when cold. maybe slightly higher. It's adjustable so you can fine tune your charging voltage to adjust for the hotter and colder temps of the seasons. I'm extremely happy with it now that i have it pretty much fined tuned. I have a 05 xB.

I have a 05 xB.the mechman is a little pricier than the singer i got quoted for..Its a little more than what i want to spend.. did you get the 240 amp? Also my xb idles around 800 did your alt have any problems with the idle being low?also any pics of grounding locations (under the hood and for your amps) would the d3400 you think be effiecient enough for my system?

Ahmed Johnson Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 800 rpm isn't a low idle. My truck idles at 650. I don't have a scion. I do have a singer alt and its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
