SVT4LIFE Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 the amount of reserve doesnt matter if you cant properly charge it! youre getting low voltage because youre asking too much of your alt. small sedans dont create a great amount of power! if you had a sufficient power supply (alt), you wouldnt see voltage drop. hhhmmm makes since... but still a brand new battery just dropped it in and getting low volt?

SVT4LIFE Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 all that equipment and no volt meter lameAnd i agree, 0 gauge grounds for starters and go from there i know i do need a volt meter i was going to buy a junk cap of craigslist then do like EXO did and make a volt meter out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT4LIFE Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 did you ever check the impedance of each channel? you could have had each channel to low for your mids/highs amp no i dont know how to do that but the doors sound good now its my low volt cut out on jl 1000/1V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT4LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 check all connections to amps and check power connections with a DMM. what would this do? how would this help with my low volt cut out on JL amp like i said its all new basicly i just ran all the zero gauge and 4 gauge and all new fuses and grounds and batterys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT4LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thats so messy to read im not even going to try.Have you done the big 3?

Skullz Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 A. Big 3 in 0/1 up front. B. 0/1 Ran from front to back fused at both ends to each battery. C. Then run 0/1 to the distro block from the battery for the amps. D. Run all wires to the respective amps. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT4LIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 did you properly set the gains with a DMM or oscope?and i re read it, i didnt see where you said you did the big 3 to help voltage issues, that should be done as well.. maybe im just tired and didnt see it no i havent done the big 3 maybe that will help?

dugee81 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 hhhmmm makes since... but still a brand new battery just dropped it in and getting low volt? did u give the alt a second to charge it fully? take it out on the highway without the stereo on for a min see if that helps 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 well, go get some 0g and do the big 3 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=13280 thats the tutorial go get a DMM and set your gains with I posted everything you need to do...
