You might need an alt that's actually legit (^__^)

those batteries and alt will probably be "ok" for 8kw but youll see 11v. assuming you aren't doing .5ohm or something below the amp's rating

little power supply knowledge for you. your alt charges at ~14.4v and batteries rest at ~12.8v. in the world of power supplies, the highest voltage is what supplies the load. once the voltage from one power source reaches the voltage of another power source, they both supply power together. so voltage drop in your car wont be linear.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Dropping to 13.7 is still well within the alternator range, you're not even dipping into battery voltage at this point.

Tell me about more of your first world problems. Does your bottled water have a "too bottled" taste? Does your DVR sometimes cut off the last 30 seconds of your show? Honestly dude, anything above 13V is perfectly acceptable and I'm sure your voltage recovers VERY quickly on your small setup. If anything, check the quality of your grounds to make sure everything is secure and contact is with good metal, in GOOD locations.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Anything above 12 is fine in my book

Me too. With demos on my single Singer, the lowest I'll see it's like 12.8V. With the duals I will stay into alt power at like 13.4-13.7V at idle and I love it.
