Jat40 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Try disconnecting your equipment and read at the battery. Normal voltage on a stock alternator should read around 14V, solid. 12.1 at the battery is not charging your battery or suppling any current to the equipment.

Basshead08 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Red is for starting Yellow is supposedly for car audio, lighting, winch etc. Blue is deep cycle marine System tear out has begun...Out with the old i have a iq of 128 i graduated at the top of my class tell me how im reatrded you are the 1 thats dumb as hell you can't even spell Look at the underlined text hahahahahahahaha I think of it as the virgin losing the virginity technique not just jumping in to it, and pounding away, but going at it slowly over time, to get to that full extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT.Smoke Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 well i am just running stock alternator..have 1/0g wiring everywhere..big 3 done..and a little 600 kinetic(i know VERY small) i make sure even when i have the bass on that my volts stay above 12v. so i dont see why it would harm anything..all i know is wheh it rained the other day that night my car wouldnt start...batt was dead..and now when i replaced it my volts are wayy too low :/ would anything get messed up even if i was watching my voltage and staying about 12? thanks!! No offense Bro but do you realize that Memphis Specifically notes that you are not supposed to run the 4K off a stock alternator.

audiofanaticz Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 i did, and when i used a dmm everything showed correct numbers. really? how do i find out if im odb1? really? i though the red ones were meant for normal driving use and the blue ones were for starting only? DAMN!! all that power and it dropped to 10 volts? but damn, you got any old vids of the setup or a test? sounds sick! Anything older then 1996 is odb1. Redtop = starting bluetop = marine yellowtop = heavy duty for high workloads. What I dislike about Optima is they never really improved their battery technology. Its pretty much the same now as it was when they first came out when they where "da shit". No videos i dont believe from the show, my camera broke a couple weeks ago, and havent had funds to replace it. But Decaf on here that does all the audio tracks got a demo, im sure he can vouch for it The amps where stressing tough. Hot after a single burp, eliminations in bassrace back to back made them untouchable. Im sure they where close to going poof! I also have 2 runs of 3/0 positive front to back, and a 1/0 negative front to back. Got a few pics that people took from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
