KnockinthaStreetzof608 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 well lets say i have a 270 high out alt, d1200 in the hood and 2 d3400 in the trunk (xs power) is it possible to have my voltage below 15volts? and stable there? because of what i hear if you go above it then we will have to change to a differnt voltage of battery insteand of the 12-14volt battery i dont know if what im typing makes sense Quote CAR -2005 Ford Mustang (Legand Lime) H/U -Pioneer avh 3200dvd Amps 2 AQ 3500d.1s strapped 1ohm daily .25burps 1Sundown Audio 100.4 1 Sundown Audio 125.2 Subs 4 AQ HDC'4s 12's Mids and highs 4 Sundown Neo Pro 8s 2 AQ Super Tweeters Electronical Mechman 270 unit 1 D3400 2 D3100's WALLED!

What is your voltage at now? MLA's and VCMs can regulate voltage coming out of your alt... well right now i dont know its stock sorry, but i just about to click on a dc power and order the xs power batteries as we speak but before i spend more then a grand it will smart to double check sorry if this doesnt help with the question, and it says it has a internal voltage regulator just didnt know if that's all is needed to be fine Quote CAR -2005 Ford Mustang (Legand Lime) H/U -Pioneer avh 3200dvd Amps 2 AQ 3500d.1s strapped 1ohm daily .25burps 1Sundown Audio 100.4 1 Sundown Audio 125.2 Subs 4 AQ HDC'4s 12's Mids and highs 4 Sundown Neo Pro 8s 2 AQ Super Tweeters Electronical Mechman 270 unit 1 D3400 2 D3100's WALLED!

EclipseChris Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 What kinda amp/amps you running? It all depends on the load. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on the load. as of now aq3500d.1 bass and RF Power T600.4 or T400.4 might sell the 600 for an 800.4 no sure tho Quote CAR -2005 Ford Mustang (Legand Lime) H/U -Pioneer avh 3200dvd Amps 2 AQ 3500d.1s strapped 1ohm daily .25burps 1Sundown Audio 100.4 1 Sundown Audio 125.2 Subs 4 AQ HDC'4s 12's Mids and highs 4 Sundown Neo Pro 8s 2 AQ Super Tweeters Electronical Mechman 270 unit 1 D3400 2 D3100's WALLED!

P.S. if you are worried about spending a little over a grand then don't even think about going to a 14v system or higher. Much more money there. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator.

So you will see your voltage doing down, but as long as your smart you'll be fine. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

KnockinthaStreetzof608 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 that isnt what i meant about the money issue, i was worried about buying the wrong type of batteries and wasting my money that way, and this is just my daily driver i use want stable voltage to run my equipment efficient nothing more, dont want crazy voltage drop and damage my equipment sorry if that's how i came across Quote CAR -2005 Ford Mustang (Legand Lime) H/U -Pioneer avh 3200dvd Amps 2 AQ 3500d.1s strapped 1ohm daily .25burps 1Sundown Audio 100.4 1 Sundown Audio 125.2 Subs 4 AQ HDC'4s 12's Mids and highs 4 Sundown Neo Pro 8s 2 AQ Super Tweeters Electronical Mechman 270 unit 1 D3400 2 D3100's WALLED!

That is the first place the amps pull current from. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

So you will see your voltage doing down, but as long as your smart you'll be fine. will it drop enough to damage me equipment tho? also you think if i buy bigger batteries in the trunk will that help? and perhaps a battery charger and charge them at night? or maybe buying a better alt?

KnockinthaStreetzof608 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 also can you tell me the math you did on figureing it all out? so next time i dont have ask people this question again wanna learn something today Quote CAR -2005 Ford Mustang (Legand Lime) H/U -Pioneer avh 3200dvd Amps 2 AQ 3500d.1s strapped 1ohm daily .25burps 1Sundown Audio 100.4 1 Sundown Audio 125.2 Subs 4 AQ HDC'4s 12's Mids and highs 4 Sundown Neo Pro 8s 2 AQ Super Tweeters Electronical Mechman 270 unit 1 D3400 2 D3100's WALLED!
