reedal Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 My bad, I didn't see that part Quote SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 So are you saying that your normal voltage stays at 13.2 without music playing? If so, that's issue number one, the voltage drop to 11V can wait.

Miguels Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 well not really.. if the alternator is good enough it shouldn't drop regardless of voltage that is running at.. its the amperage that makes voltage drop.. if the alternator is a 320a and drops to 11v on with a possible 120A draw then there is an issue.. i think it could be bad connections and even a clipping amplifier.. it dont matter what voltage the alternator charges.. could be 13.4 or 14.8 the voltage shouldnt drop that bad.. if its dropping to 11v volts at 13.2 it will drop to 11v even if its charging at 14.8 Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If he's sitting at 13.2 normally then the alt might not be charging at proper voltage and probably isn't outputting much of anything all is what I was getting at. Meaning bad alt. No alt should charge at 13.2, even a shitty eBay one. If that's what his voltage sits at normally, then I would check all connections to batteries and alt with the amplifiers disconnected, and if everything is tight without wiggling at all, but voltage is the same, id be swapping in the stock alt to see if voltage changes. If no change, he's got a computer issue.
