AMI CUSTOMS Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) You have big 3 done with a 70 amp alt? Why? Way over kill, and if you are in doubt get the alt tested, there are a few auto parts stores that can do it for free.

melonhead Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 What is your voltage when the car is running? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way over kill, and if you are in doubt get the alt tested, there are a few auto parts stores that can do it for free. I was told it would help with my dimming lights. It did help a little because I could tell my system got a little louder and my lights don't dim as bad as they used to. So it had to increase the voltage just a little if it got louder afterwards and the lights don't dim as bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is caused from your better grounds, really all you needed was BIG 2, upgrading the alt wire on a 70 amp alt is not going to change much.

Gotcha. I plan on adding a 2nd battery in the trunk when I upgrade to bigger subs and sub amp but I don't want to replace the alt unless I absolutely have to.

If you plan on daily pounding it then you either have to have a large battery bank and then charge that regularly basically daily with a "good" charger or have the alt power to run your demand and battery for just cushion(voltage support).

May be overkill now, but it does ensure max ability to pull current and the ability to upgrade his alt later saving time in upgrading twice Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

How is that upgrading twice?
