sayhuh? Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yes it is.. Should do 180-190 at idle on this car, IF the system will push it that far, but 160-170 easy... But, to put it in perspective, that's with a 6" crank pulley and a 2.4" alternator pulley @ 700 engine RPM idle, do the math.. On a GM/Ford car truck or SUV these will do over 200 at idle @ 14.8v, with a stock pulley without breaking a sweat... Regulators are also almost done, couple more weeks is all. They're 95% there.. Fish, what your saying is correct, it would be better to have one big "alternator".. The problem with it is an alternator like that takes an ENORMOUS amount of driven torque to turn, and you'r never, ever going to do it with a 6G/8G serpentine belt.. It has to be either shaft or direct driven.. The technology is there for the charging end of it, we've already done it.. You just cant turn it on a vehicle... Taps foot =) Hey I will call you about the Honda Alt...I swear thats the only thing left to replace. Its a pain. Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Rob Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Patience man, patience.. We just finished the install.. I was off though, Kyle has more system than I thought.. It does do 200 at idle, and did it at 14.9v... There will be video of it up in our section tonight..

Fish Chris Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hey Fearof, well when I build one that puts out 1600 amps, at idle, I'll call it a 1500 amp alternator, then it won't be overated ;-) Hey DC, like I said before, I wasn't trying to drive you crazy And BTW, I went to your site, but don't see an alt listed for either of my vehicles ? I have an 08' F150 with the 5.4L gas motor. And a 07' Hyundai Accent, with the 1.6L. Are these items which you make, but don't have listed ? ....or, would they be special order ? Oh, and do you guys make any of the multiple use alternators ? I saw some of these on other sites, designed for like several different small imports ? I am confident your alternators would be "more than" enough for my purposes. Thank you, Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosgate707 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 You want to put to original alts that was a good idea but would fail cus its meant to power the car and the original stereo that's why they make high alts cus it sends more power out at a lower rpm speed and would also recharge the battery faster to and with that there options like thr big 3 and a better battery to depending on what audio equipment you have Work truck. 94 s10 Hu: pioneer deh-2000 soon to be new deh-3200ub.

Pretty sure he makes one for the f150...and his Alts are good and his customer service rocks. He's a good dude. Rob, I'm jealous.

Red-navi-916 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 what i found out (from gary) is once the after market alt goes low on voltage there is no way of getting it back up with out senidng it back in what imma do it just run 2 3 4 stock alts its always better to keep your stock alt..thats just me..i cant see my self giving my pay check for an alt i agree with you edit: also u got to relize that meade has been through like 9 alts in the Hoe edit 2: everybody will show the good side of their system but not the bad u know what i mean BUILDLOG http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61862 "98crewcab"Never a POS....just always "a work in progress" lol that's how we roll bitches!!!
