Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 That auto zone machine is junk just so we all know. We took my buddy's trailblazer there when we put in his DC alt just to see what it put out and it said the alt was bad. The also can't properly test agm batteries. 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.
reedal Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 The only time I go to autozone is when their part is cheaper than advance auto parts and Napa.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 I don't shop there at all because the parts are junk. Sure you get a lifetime warranty but I'd rather not replace the parts every couple months. I get oem parts for next to nothing anyways, perks of having a friend who manages a distributor.

Mr DeeBeez Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Posted June 7, 2015 I'm hoping I did something wrong.. Turned the clamp meter to dc 400A, zero'd it, and clamped on my alt positive wire. Then played my system full tilt, and the meter went from 6a to only 34a at the highest.

reedal Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 Did you play with a tone or on music? Use a tone for constant current draw.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Clamp your wire leading into your amp and see how much it's drawing. 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.
