Bigger better mechman?

[Sackcheese]

What are the added benefit's "besides not burning down my car" to adding a bigger alt. Like the extra 140 amps I would get by running a mechman 270 hairpin alt, vs my stock 130 "lol"... would I be getting cleaner lows, louder lows, windier lows.? Will I even notice the difference in my lows? Lmao... I like the lows?

140*12 = 1680watts of reserve "power"

I like the low's too. A properly built and tuned enclosure will get the lows your looking for. Got a stock alt too (for now) 100a at best cold. I notice a difference in output/feel when i drop from 13.6v to 12.8v. My amp is rated 14.4v @ 900w. So imo, less voltage drop from 14.4v = closer to rated power compared to 12.8v. Most amps RMS rating is at 14.4 volts. Hope that make sence. 

A couple of vids regarding alts for you...enjoy

If ur voltage is dropping now, you should notice a difference when upgrading. But if your voltage is already stable and doesnt drop at all, you might not notice it. Do u know if u have voltage drop when the bass starts hitting?

Mid to high 12's is as low as I let it get

Maybe the upgrade will help u stay up in the 14s. More input voltage, more power the amp can put out.

My 12v output vs my 14v output is very noticeable by ear

What type of amp do you have right now? Is this on a stock battery aswell?
