Trailbasser23 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 New here, I have a trailblazer with 8 12’s on 2 dc 3500’s .5 each gain matched b pillar 4th order on 1 jy lithium 45 in rear with big 3 done. Still on stock alt. I’m curious Will I be louder to the ear once I upgrade my alt? I can turn my bass knob mid way and beyond that point voltage summits.

Harobmx21 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Technically it would be louder but most likely you wont noticed a difference. Depends on how much voltage drop you have though. To give you a rough estimate of wattage lose (amps)x(voltage)x(efficiency)= watts. My amp for example 350 x 10.5 x .7=2670 vs 350 x 14.4 x.7=3528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4068 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm assuming you meant plummets. You'll need a 3db gain/loss to notice a difference. Will the alt you're installing give you 50%of your power needs? If not you'll want some more battery reserve or supercaps. Regardless of whether you can hear the difference you want to maintain your voltage. You don't want to tax your electrical unnecessarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 U will notice a difference and your amps won’t be distorting ,making clean music, Your system will love U and last longer. With that setup on stock ALT it would be louder if U ran it at 2ohms. Your destroying your amps, your setup sounds like it’s about 10k at 14volts but I know you’ve never seen that with stock ALT. U should have at least a 350amp ALT and 5-6 batteries. I would run more then 1 ALT though. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
