diegoclass2010 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 let me ask you this, where you revving the vehicle? 2k rmp? those 370 alts dont put out alot amperage at idle ruffly around 200 amps, soo 1600 watt is around 160 amp pull + vehicle needs another 50 amps... so sounds about right.

It's not pulling 160A on its best day. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
diegoclass2010 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 hahaha yup i know i just wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. what i really wanted to know if he was revving the engine
Wasteland_Audio Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Posted October 18, 2015 So this escalated quickly lol, sorry been wrapped up for a bit, but the lights were dimming at cruising speed, about 1200-1300 rpm, and i know the alt doesn't put out full power until around 1800. anyway i'll be putting the new setup in with the 4 batteries i have at the moment and add more as i go, ran way over budget on this build and have to make due. I know that it's dangerous to run below 12 volts and that's why i'll be running my amps tuned WAY down until i have a bank to back it up. I'm willing to sacrifice a few db's to be safe and save me from frying things.
ToNasty Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 Do you know if the alt is 2 or 4 pin? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
