better voltage on oldschool amps..

[FiNaLaLmAsY]

hey all,

i run all 1/0 gauge to my chassis grounds powers and engine block.

4awg about 1.5ft long from my alternator to the battery and its a DC Power XP 270amp alternator on

a Dyralast Gold 880CC and 1000 Cranking Amps 115 RC in my sentra. even DC power said the setup is perfect np.

on 2 oldschool soundstream rubicon 1002s bridged at 1ohm per amp.

i know these all amps pull a crap ton of power compared to a Class D.. best on this setup i can get on a load driving down the road is 12.4volts

i tried a class D soundstream rub2500.1d and held 14.9/14.4 volts np all day even at a idle.. at .75ohms

amp is crap compared to these so using my old amps again and they do a lot more power and sq.

but only thing i dont have is an extra battery and im trying to stay away from this i have 4awg grounds for each one my amps. so i have good power there to the seat bolts

and sanded down. any help be appreciated thanks.

o also i have a oldschool rubicon 405 2ohms rears and 4ohms fronts amp pulls like 40amps i think..not sure

and the maxi fuses in the sub amps are 80amps.. but know its way more then this.

I didn't see any question marks..

[Alex K]

well in that case.. this story was COOL!

sorry haah am i lacking something here to get closer to 14.4volts.. i know for fact if i hit 13.3v on a hit its like wow!

[FiNaLaLmAsY]

i mean if im on the throttle and slammin it ya i can do 13 volts and its like wow what a difference wasnt sure if im doing someting wrong or just need another battery or if that will even help...

[Alex K]

well 13v isnt bad. when you get into the 11's high 10's youre pushing it pretty bad. i'd throw a few more batteries in if thats what youre asking. Edited December 30, 2010 by Alex K

lol b4 i got my alternator i had a 80amp..i use to do like 9.8volts for 6months lmao then decided ahh time for a bigger alternator lmao lowest ive seen is 11.9.. neve anything less

[hdorre]

Check/do these- although, battery resting voltage, grounds, big three, voltage regulator, wiring, fuses, frayed wire, and clipping..I'm sure i could come up with more

just tore it all apart today. in the cold..lmao and everything looks good i mean is the class d amp just that more efficient? to hold almost 15 volts on a load..??
