Mechman AVBM II install - More Volts = More Watts? Myth? Proof inside

[Miguels]

Was the alternator converted to externally regulated ?

no.. it must work with diodes

I have 3 of them in my 02 blazer and was told that I would have to convert it to externally regulated. Just curious what you think?

i seen you covered that at the end of the video..if you slow motion that video you will that it actually did 1309 watts

when i stated "Average" i was just looking at the middle ground of where the numbers were going. The song has a dynamic bass line and i did that on purpose to show how much real power on a real speaker you could be actually pushing. But ya the numbers came down some (during the beat changes) and popped back up pretty high, i figured the middle ground was a good number to "claim" It isn't perfect it's just my take, from my own little experiments

what is the myth... more voltage = more power... if the myth was confirmed then more power would not be more power.... so didn't you bust this myth... or was the myth same power from an amp even with more voltage... I would have said more voltage would almost always make more power since non-regulated PSU amps lose power under 14v and some amps are designed to operate on 14,16 or 18vdc. only a regulated PSU amp wouldn't gain since they pretty much regulate all power to a steady 12vdc... I either read this test wrong or it is worded goofy to stop adam and jaimey from contacting their lawyers... lol

i have heard plenty of people try to say you can't gain from going up to 15+v on a 12v battery. Has nothing to do with having a 16v battery charging at 19v. I am talking 12v battery with a little extra voltage.

so yes, you "read it wrong" lol

That size alt, with that pull/demand, your basically running at 15plus volt. The 12v bat is doing nothing. You could remove the battery, and still see the gain.

Staying 15v plus when drawing 1300amp, well, i dont think a knob will do much. Im wondering if now, a billion members are thinking "hell, i dont need a alt, ill just dial up the amperage.

That said, dialing it up a bit, in this situation, worked.

Regardless, it shows you can get an increase if you stay in your play zone (while adding the extra voltage), which this system clearly still is. Don't worry, we will surpass the alternator supply soon with something it can't keep up with He already wants to go bigger.
