fourlug Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 What you can do is upgrade your wiring going to your fuse box...This should help with the dimming. X2!!!! Try this before anything, its called the big 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missinglink Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 mla will not fix the problem130a x 60% (avergae amperage used by car)= 78a 130-78= 52a no matter how many batts, theres no way thats enough amps to recharge ur batts and supply amps with enough power to not dim and 12v is not great, u should shoot for 13.5-13.8... that would mean ur batts are at full charge almost all the time Funny : since our module gives you about a 200 watts more increase to you power supply (Alternator output converted to watts) If he has a 130a alt and our module brings this up to 150+ amps plus a charging voltage from 13.8 to 15.5v. Sorry please tell how more amperage and higher voltage equals (not fixing the problem)? Sorry but Steave does use one I don't think if it did nothing that he would post it for us and BUY one for the hooptie. Also (my boss) Scott from FI promotes our product as well he helped us build the module. Don't mean to name drop but your statment (mla will not fix the problem) is false! I run 13 batteries on the Ascendant audio hummer with 2 alts @ 16.2v pulling 20,000 watts my lights don't dim. Please ask questions we will try to help no one had awnsers for me and it sucked.

KWP369 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 logan doesn't that x come with the option to run dual alts setup... u can get the dual bracket from ford themselves... instead of lookin into a HO alt why not just another alt AND the mla link... you should be golden after that i would definitely get a dual setup if u plan on goin to the 4.5k-5k range here in the future Quote Do you read ur own response b4 you post?...or just type ur gut reaction and headbutt the enter key? How bout this, the Caddy sounds so damn good it can put a smile on a "deaf mans" face mat then mix hardener into resin and soak mat. beeeeeyaw glassing for n00bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Ford alts are strong! Edit) plus auto zone lifetime warranty under $200 bucks. SWEET Edited April 22, 2008 by missinglink Quote missinglinkaudio The United States Marine Corps.

SPL2K Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 with 2 alts @ 16.2v pulling 20,000 watts my lights don't dim. So are you dangerously overcharging 12 volt batteries or is that a dying 16V system? Or something else?

missinglink Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 So are you dangerously overcharging 12 volt batteries or is that a dying 16V system?Or something else? I run 12-kinetic 2400 & 1 - 2000 These batteries need 2.6-2.8 volts per cell to see a full charge. There are 6 cells per 2400 thats 16.8volts. Since I run mine at 16.2v COLD they stabilize @ 15.8 or so when hot. This is no where near (dangerously overcharging ) in fact its about a volt shy of even full charge. This is a custom unit for the amount of batteries I have and use for demo's. We have a standard module that will charge 4-6 batteries, its set point is 15.5 COLD when hot it will stabilize @ 14.7 safe for optima, kinetic, even regular batteries. Our module does not over ride your alternators normal function it still backs off when hot , and when your batteries are full. We just change the charging curve of your internal regulator and take back control from newer cars computers. Not sure what a dying 16v is ? I'm charging @ 16v not trying to run a 16v system. A 16v is acutally a 16.9v with 7 cell @ 2.6-2.8 per cell this app.would need to charge @ 18.9 to 19.8v (pending on the amount of batteries). Please help I have never heard of a dying 16v?
