moh.vze.com Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 There was a big improvement in my electrical. I haven't had time to take voltage readings at the amp yet but I took some readings at the battery. Old without yellow top + big 3: drops down to 11.4 volts (on white girl slowed unclipped with audacity). New with yellow top + big 3: drops down to only 12.5 Volts after 30 minute of playing songs (tested with white girl in the end). With engine on it reads 14.5 volts. Great stuff! I don't have any cameras to take pictures I think it would have been a lot better readings if I didn't make my ghetto 0 gauge extension for the stock wiring.

Guest KyleCannon Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well, I wasn't beating on it or anything but thats right after i turned the car on after the upgrade took place. By the time i got home the car realized what happened and it throttled back down haha. But it goes to show you how much better things work with a better electrical system.

moh.vze.com Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Meh. I'm still a bit surprise that my voltage drops to 12.5 volts with certain songs. I was hoping it would stay above 13 volts. I have an extra 4-5ft of ground wire left. Are there any places I can add another ground for improvement? Is it worth buying two more ring terminals to use it? Also, I've read on a lot of forums where people's positive alternator had a rubber thing under a plastic covering. Mine didn't, but was that rubber thing for? My 0 gauge ring terminal is pretty close to the engine pipe of my car. Should I be worried? How hot does it usually get? I don't want my soldered ring terminals to heat up.
