kickeruser09 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Does it have external regulator? That may be all the way turned down. yes it does have one but i turned it both ways and it didnt effect it either way. i then unhooked it to see if it would do anything and still nothing.

Freshman6969 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 jeeps charge at 13.6, i end up around 13.9-14.1 on my back batt at idle, now, when i contacted matt he said all id need is the external reg., which is what you have, but another thing is that i hooked up my big 3 wrong at 1 point, it looked normal to me until i asked on here, idr what i did, but just double check the big 3 wiring, your fuses and such, if that doesnt work, contact matt @ mechman Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k!
