Skullz Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Alt supplies power and batteries store it, if your dropping really low then you'll need a better alt to start off with and having a small bank of batteries to store enough capacity that voltage spikes don't occur from massive hard hits from the bass. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Batteries don't raise the initial (charging) voltage, they try to maintain it. With all that power, get the biggest alt possible and upgrade the starter battery. If the charging voltage isn't what you want, get a voltage regulator from Mechman or MLA.

96HOE Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ok I have plans to do a quad alt in the "HOE" here real soon any suggestions on where to get the brackets n such? Also is my stock alt really that crappy that it can't hardly run a 4200 watt amp or should I replace that alt as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA98hoe Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 try different grounding point on your big 3 or run a negative 0g from front to back. my hoes voltage will change with different grounding points and most definetly do 2 alternators if you can. i went 3 and its barely enough. a good high output alternator will make a huge difference. plus the hifonics amps are current hogs i had 1 2008 and it would drop with a 220 amp iraggi and 4 svr 3000 batterys TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

hdorre Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 A quad alt for 4200wrms? Or do you plan on adding/upgrading amps, because that would be crazy if It were for your current system. Try DC Power for the bracket. Don't expect it to come fast. Also ask Mechman. He may find a local Tahoe that he could test fit it in. You could look for local shops too. The stock alt probably isn't shitty. It was just made to power your TRUCK, not a ton of extra shit that the average person wouldnt even consider buying On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is my stock alt really that crappy that it can't hardly run a 4200 watt amp or should I replace that alt as well? Its what, a 140 amp alt? Give or take 50% of that is used to maintain function in all electrical applications that come stock with the car. This gives you ~70 amps for charging and supplying, when your amplifiers are demanding 420 amps at max, give or take a little. When the alt cannot supply the demand asked, voltage will drop. When you're short 350 amps, yeah you might drop a ...
