Sequoia_Bass Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hello fellow Bassheads, my current system build is in progress, but am having trouble. I have (4) 15s, each one on a American Bass Ph4000MD. I also have a rockford fosgate 150x2 on the midshipmen's and highs. I am unable to reach full potential with them because my electrical is lacking. I have a Mechman 240A alt and a auto zone Durlast battery(group 24). In theory i should be drawing over 580 amps of power, but i suspect it to be less then, due to impedance rise. Still that is a big draw. I usually like to keep my system around 8/10 way up. and then full tilt on some songs or when demoing my questions are. Could someone fabricate dual alternator bracket for me (wich i would pay to have shipped to me) or is there any super high amp alternators out there? Or do i need to buy and build a massive battery bank. P.S i have a 2006 toyota sequoia and the engine bay is fairly tight, i believe it is possible to fit another alt right next to current one but will be tight.

WalledSonic Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Two things: 1) You need more reserve. One G24 battery is not nearly enough. 2) Try designing an alternator bracket! I used some wood and spent a few hours figuring mine out. Then I sketched it up and its currently being made at a waterjet shop. My bracket is for a single alt, so yours is more complicated. Although, you've made it this far, no sense in giving up on a new task.

Wishuponasub Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Also there are a few companies you can check with. Mechman, dc power, excessive amperage. Several of the alternator companies make brackets as well.

Only thing is that those companies only do common vehicles (yukons, tahoes, or anything with common engines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia_Bass Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thank you guys for input, I am unconfident i will be able to design or even try to make a alt bracket, but i will try. The only way to access the alt is under car Mechman said that i can send i my current 240 amp alt and have them convert it to 320 amp for $125(plus shipping there and back) but that is only 80 amp difference. I want to do it, but for one my car will be out of commission for a bit, and if i get dual alt bracket i will need to purchase a 320 amp alt with in turn is more $$$. I might upgrade alt, and during the time i am getting alt made, i will work on bracket+ saving up for second 320 amp alt, but unsure if this is wise choice Sorry my thought trail is unorganized, perks of being a teen haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
