Sammitch0 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) I have a stock 60a alternator which I believe has seen its days numbered, I also have a brand new interstate battery from napa. It was doing decent for awhile @ 1500rms now my belt squeaks when i start my jeep and my voltage drops a lot lowers instantly on songs it barely dropped on before. I'm running an AP1500.1 and a Kicker KX600.4 0 gauge with no big III. I have about $150 to spend on replacement battery and I also need some 0 gauge terminals so I can run the big III etc. Also does anyone think my alternator is going or my battery?

cubs_fan0718 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Alt and Big 3 done at the same time, then battery. Or, save up and drop it on all 3.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 big 3 and alt first, then a second batt, I would recommend atleast a 200 or 240 amp alt, only because your car accessories are around 50a so that knocks it down to 190, and if your AP pulls 150a then that leaves you with 40extra amps for your mids and highs amp its just math 50 for car accessories 150 for sub amp 40 for mids and highs amp, give or take 240 amps, you should have almost no voltage drop, well depending on how much that kicker pulls 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.......

Sammitch0 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Ugh I dont have money for this type of stuff guys... So I cant do the big III right now? I have about 20ft of KnuConceptz Kollosus that I wanted to run to it I just need the terminals for the batteries. The alternator is going to be the VERY LAST thing I put in especially if I need over 200a, thats gonna kill my pockets. I need something to hold me by until christmas will another battery and big III do that? (my alternator MIGHT be 90a according to my dad but I eblieve its a stock 95 grand cherokee laredo alt.)

Team_DC-Derrick Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 i mean, if you want to have voltage drop dont do the alt... but yes, you can do the big 3 right now and it should help alittle bit, but ive ran 1500 rms on a stock honda alt and it sucked, i also ran 3000w on a stock honda alt and that sucked ass 2...

Sammitch0 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I see... So even with the battery/big III ill get the SAME voltage drop? the weird part is when my voltage drops low enough my belt squeaks like its cold or wet and it stops when my voltage goes upto 14v Quote Grand Cherokee Team Backwoods Bumpers DC 15" Level 3's /w 4 Coils Pioneer deh4200ub Pioneer 3-ways Pioneer Tweeters Pioneer GM-D9500F Audiopipe 1500.1D @ 14.4v Clarion Equalizer Knuconeptz Kollosus 0ga Knuconpetz Kollosus 4ga Coming Soon: 270xp / xs1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
