SoCalzLife Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 Just installed my 260 amp alt in my 06 scion xb. At most it should be charging at 14.7 hot... at idle my voltage is at 16.5 to 17 volts.im mean im not 1 to conplaing biut high voltage but this is a littlw to high for my d3400..not trying to swell up my battery among other things in the car..has anyone else had this "overvoltage" issue
SoCalzLife Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 Am i going to have to buy a voltage regular from mechman to lower the voltage?
SoCalzLife Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 And my door speaker amp....Rockford p400.4 amp wont even turn on at that high of voltage,which is probably a good thing for the amp
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 That is definitely way too high for a cars electrical system. Where and how are you getting a voltage reading? Don't keep running it, leave the car off and contact singer immediately before you fry shit. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
Smoove Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 Sounds like a bad regulator. You made need to send the alt in for service 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/

SoCalzLife Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Posted August 31, 2016 Thabks for all the replies..only had ot running for about 2 min. Mike hit me up this morning and told me to fix it. The regulator was turned to high. Quick simple fix, putting a ring terminal on one of the wires and connecting to the charging bolt..charging at 14.3 to 14.5 now.. Please close the thread
ChevyBoy95 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Yea, that is how he does his new alts as far as the sense wire(? the blue one i think), just looped of the harness to the charging stud. I had issues doing it the normal way (just running it through the OEM harness) to where it would make the battery light on my dash stay on even though voltage either way was 14.9v cold.
