chapo123 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 what is your voltage at idle with no subs on? like just normal idle? 14.4? Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jbinn Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 its about 13-13.5 on a good day :-/ thats with subs off and everything idle it doesnt even do 14.4 @ 1800RPM :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 yeah thats what mine is. completly stock electrical .no big 3 or anything. at idle it does 13.5v with nothing on. doing big 3 and putting a xs power 3400 in the back soon though. should help Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.

bdMoron Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have a XS D1200 and its a nice batt. I have a stock alt which is 105 amps, regular old batt up front, Big 3 in 2/0, 2 runs of 2/0 (1+,1-)and a D1200. I get a steady 13.6 at full tilt. As long as your connections are good I dont see a problem. Im gettin 1300ish after all rises out of my amp. I could see this batt supporting alot more power with the right charging system.

corteznewbie Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 your gonna need a mla for ya jeep or make a external voltage regulator because ya ecu contrals ya voltage. i have the same problem doing some research on how to bypass the ecu voltage reg Quote Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapo123 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 what size is your stock alt and what kind of battery? how well does it do? mine has massive voltage drop on 50hz and below @ 1500rms i think its a 60 or 70 amp alt ftl. i konw i got super voltage drop due to im on completly stock electrical.. it got so bad my amp went into protect. i should hopefully be resting at 14 volts after big 3 and my back batt Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.

ingramcaraudio Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 You could try an ohio generator 220 amp alternator they have pretty fair prices and good products.

dugee81 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Chances are, unless you get an external regulator, you probly won't get up to that 14.4. Sure doing big 3 lowers resistance, but if you aren't getting close to 14 now chances are you won't break it after doing big 3 and adding batteries. Batteries only store energy, they don't create the voltage you are seeking.

Guest jbinn Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I changed my mind... Im just getting an alternator and Big III for now... battery will come last, and can anyone explain the ECU further? and what measures I need to take to bypass it, most amplifiers require 14.4v to run their RMS so I'd like to rest there.
