Astro Build - 12 Cerwin-Vega 12"s in a Clamshell C-Pillar Wall


Recommended Posts

Ha! Drew, I would have to give that to my wife, because she helped me tremendously. How is that DC port treating you?? Still the sickest port ever. Thanks for the good word. :)

1030toolded - I have to know what kind of sub is that in your avatar! It has been KILLING ME.

Like the old Phoenix Gold Cyclones, just totally different.

Pretty good!

It is a Basstech servo drive .......21"

It's main purpose is LARGE venues/concerts and it only moves air. It is pointless above 50hz and only takes about 1000rms to meet 3" excursion!

Thank you guys for all the love. I really do appreciate it. Especially for someone who truly just does this for kicks. I guess that is why they call it a hobby. :D For better or worse- I have done ALL of the work on this van myself. Every now and again I have had a helping hand to hold some fabric (the wifey) or some wood (dad), but other than that- it is all mine. So I take pride in that even if it isn't a show vehicle. Ya know?

On with the latest! I decided to upgrade my alternator. I went to a junk yard and got a donor CS130 alternator and went here http://www.springhillautoelectric.com/inde...mp;productId=37 and got a "220" amp rebuild kit. Never having done this before, I didn't really hold high hopes, but more or less was curious how it would do.

A brief rebuild history of the donor alt in pictures:

The stock VS the rebuild windings. Note that the stock one has 6 wires (3 sets of 2) & the rebuild has 12 (3 sets of 4)

Side by side comparo of the internals (not much real difference there- just a bit beefier)

Believe it or not... this is clean.

I checked the COLD voltage on the Duralast Gold Alternator:

Then I pulled the Duralast Gold alternator (note the overdrive pulley):

Posted Image

Out and side by side. I swapped pulleys out so I still have the overdrive pulley. Yeah I painted the fan bright blue... wanna' fight about it??? :)

Posted Image

Back in... and blue. Really Blue.

Cold Voltage

After running around town for over an hour and blasting the system.

And just another box shot. :)

It is better with the new alt. I can tell a big difference from the subs and on my volt meter. The bass seems much tighter.... to a point. It gets up a good bit more up until it starts getting stupid loud (like loud that it wasn't before) and then after just a bit more you can tell it is starving again. A quick look at the volt meter and yep- it still HUNGERS! This alt won't let the voltage get into the Red like the Duralast (blue smoke 11 volt land), but it isn't what I really need. I know it isn't doing a true 220 amps either.

This has really really made me see my systems need for proper amperage. (remember, I only have the overdrive pulley, big 3, and the under hood battery). This is why I am gonna' get Hooked UP with Matt at MechMan. http://www.mechman.com

A Solid 250 amp should do it I think..... I need more powa!!! MUUUUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

That alt you have will be fine if you got a couple of big batts. I see alot of people putting in these overkill alternator setups when the money could be spent on other things. I know a guy running over 8000 rms on a stock Neon alternator. Not hating just trying to help. :D
