Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Did you do the big 3? Who is your alt maker? a 250 amp alt should have no problems keeping up with that amp Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 your voltage drop, is it at idle? or with you revving the engine? and to be honest, he probably told you it was a 250 amp alt just to sell it, but its probably a 130 amp alt or something lower, I dont see a reason you are having that much voltage drop other than your alt, unless your batts are bad Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

fecupe2001 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hey dude, i use that same amp in my car, my stock alt use to be 70 amps and upgraded to a Nissan´s Versa alt (140 amps) , i only have a Kinetik HC1800 under the hood and i don´t get below 13.8 volts!! And when i externally disconnect the alt regulator, i get 15.1 volts and drops to about 14.7 volts only; Of course, my impedance rise it´s a bit high, but with a "250 amps alternator" and 2 optimas, your voltage shouldn´t drop to 12v , maybe you have a wrecked battery?? that happened to me in the past and my voltage dropped TERRIBLE!!

slim2fattycake Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Drop the YT, and get a different battery x2. I hate yellowtops, but everyone is right. There is no way that alternator is doing 250s or close if you're dropping that low, if your batteries aren't shit already.
