lem43606 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 First off, lose the capacitor. and im not sure if using a cadillac alt is helping you much.

memphisBred Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Maybe get a bigger H/O alt when the money is right. Batteries should be good on that power, b/c I doubt the Boss amp actually puts out 1k wrms. So say you have 3000 wrms... those batteries should be plenty. The H/O alt may not be able to charge the batts continuously. Also if you have the time check your grounds and other wires, that may have become lose or lost the connection.

Toady Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Throw you a H/O Alt in there, Batts are fine can handle that power, and maybe do 2 runs of 1/0 to the back battery. Also check all grounds and connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GioRF Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Thank you guys for your help. Now that i know im in tha need of a new alt wich alt you think should do the work and how much amps? Does the cap has anything to do with those voltage drops? Im asking cause its a 10 farad, isnt suposed to help with it or not? Should i go with an external regulator so i can adjust the alts output to a higher voltage? Whould it help? Your help is and will be apreciated. Edited July 6, 2010 by GioRF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
