Doylerules826 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 So I got my volt meter today, and I am reading about 13.3 driving around and dip to about 12.5 when at a stop light. Is this an ok voltage for the time being until i get a bigger alt? or is this something i should be worried about?

kl0wn Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 All depends how long before you upgrade your alt, if it is going to be a while, I would turn the gain down on your amp so you don't drop that much Quote 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldsBoomer Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 ^^ agreed and did you check your voltage with a DMM because when i got my voltage guage it wasn't set properly so i had to adjust the sensitivity Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 i would be careful. but i have the same voltage drop. you should turn it down at lights anyways so you dont piss people off and get audio banned. then with demos just keep it reved at 2k rpm Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.
