Twiztedlemon Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 The ONLY feasible thing i can thinknof is simple in thought but complex as fuck. Fabricated secondary alternator. This would be wired straight to the battery (of course in line fused) but not throught the car's ECU. So im sure some regulator would be needed? Not sure on that part. Then the complexity of getting a belt to tighten and drive both. This seems the only SAFE and guaranteed way. Mazda used to or still does a crazy af ecu implementation for specific volatage that could hurt ecu or render it inop for being outnof tolerance. I do not know if this is still practiced by them, but i dont doubt they would do some shit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I just bought a 2016.5 CX5. Is this the same alternator as the 2016 model? Also have no plans for more than 1k watts of power either. Actually for right now it will be a Kicker zx400.1 running a Sundown X8v2. It is the family car so no huge system going in it cause I need the room, but I would like to have the option to upgrade in the future should the opportunity to do so arise. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notorious97200 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Bad news. My batteries were discharging very fast these last days. I knew there was a problem on that CX-5 alternator. I was around 11.5 v ! with engine on. Suddenly the alt decided to work, charging my 2 batts at 14.5 v. But when I went home and looked under the hood, I found something burning red on the positive post on the alt ! I tried, with no luck, to unscrew that post. I'm waiting for a friend, to help. I hope I won't need to go to my local Mazda dealer.

notorious97200 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ok everything is good now ! i took out the wire going form the alt (+) to battery (+). The wire was loosing the plastic cover, and it was touching something badly. The car would have caught fire if I did not have my cheap cig-lighter voltmeter. I saw I was loosing too much voltage : there was a problem. It saved my car, and my life ! Now I'm worrying about the wire going to the trunk : I think it's the same Knu wire. I need to check everything, and maybe buy new one, with better quality (it's a 0 Ga OFC from Knu). black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200.

I think I used an old piece of 0 ga wire for that part of the big 3 ( +alt to + on batt). I took it off. Alt is regulated to the max, I don't need it ! The one I ran to the back is in very good shape : it's a blue OFC Knu. No problem. I'm waiting on a good charger for my batteries.
