CURRENT ISSUES PLEASE ADVISE

now my system consist of 5 amps

bass is about 320amps

and mids is 180amps

i have 2 110 alternators

and 5 kinetik 12/16 volt batteries

wit the car off my voltage is about 12.5 and wit it on it is about 13.8

when my bass hits it goes from 13.8 straight down to between 11.8 - 12.3

also the allternator starts spinning slower as if all the current is being

sucked out

is there a way i can atleast keep the voltage out of the 11 range?

would more batteries help? would bigger alternators help?

no i have not done BIG 3 yet **casper stickin**

Shocked

i know it is over 1rpm but not sure if it is up to 1.6

it is normal cefiero alternators

so a higher rpm should help the voltage?

you will get quite alot more output at 2000 engine rpm vs 1000 engine rpm.. i'd suggest idling your engine higher while playing.. try between 1500 - 2000rpm while playing all out..

ok i will check that today and see what happens

will cost u some gas $ to do be playing at a higher engine rpm

might be better to invest in a nice 350A HO alt from 1 of those companies in d usa (might cost around us$500-600) so u will be getting d full output from ur amps & wont have any more current problems especially for long gallery playing ...

this tuner noyztoyz

will be stock soon
300 amp alternator made for use in daily driver vehicles, 300amps at only 2000rpm, not no 5000rpm+ like other brands. You could race to 6000rpm on the highway and it wont damage it. Comes with external voltage regulator for 13-20volts so you could turn it up when is time to crank and lower it down when yuh resting, also can be used on a 16v battery bank.
Best deal on a alternator you can get. Is universal fit so you will have to get a small bracket made, i took 30 mins to make mine, one a dis 300amp alternator in use in a daily vehicle is on demo in my vehicle.
Put the best, the extra money you spend on this will save u money on your battery bank. U will also get a guarantee against failure.
Brand - Excessive amperage

well at higher rpm the voltage sittin nice and not reachin the 11 range

good now you know that rpms are the problem. but what voltage did it settle at now?

D your big 3 first and thec come for more solutions #Fade in

more than ok-ish

for the current draw he speaks of, and know how gallery men is lash out their systems.. hes pretty ok not goin below 12v.

u did the big 3 yet?

My question is how are you currently charging the batteries?

I not too familiar with the 12/16V batteries,

But i am guessing you need to charge the batteries as you would any 16V battery (optimally 18V), and the battery would then output a 12V through its 3rd pole is needed.

So are you currently charging 16V batteries with a 12/14.4V alternator?

theblitz · Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:17 pm Post subject:

I just now saw this thread and the big 3 shud have NOT been neglected and what Lance said. From the alternators he's using I'm assuming he's charging at ~13.8V

Chiney · Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:25 pm Post subject:

^ and if thats the case...well the batteries wont even charge back good ... can end up causing more in the long run..

even if casper sticking with the big 3, u shuda stick with your system, .... as its always mentioned and its 100% true.. a system that big bro, shud have the current to back it up b4 u even think of jamming it out...

theblitz · Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 6:33 pm Post subject:

buh spam u cud do the big 3 urself...... it will help considerably together with your increasing idle speed. Its not hard. Were you planning on going full 16V system with those batteries? Please say none of your 16V compatible amps are currently connected to the 16V poles Neutral

so wat alyuh sayin is that even if i usin the 12 volt part of the batteries i have to charge them wit 16 - 18 volts ?

alyuh sure bout that ?

cuz how i see it is if i hooked up to the 12v plates and givin it 16 - 18v that not soundin right at all.

ah man tellin me put a cap and it would make a big difference and put less strain on the alternator.

anybody have a 5 - 15 farad cap i could borrow to prove a point ?

doe ur big 3 do ur big 3 do ur big 3

borrow the cap after

casper · Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:10 pm Post subject:

ur problem with low voltage is caused when ur bass comes in...so a cap might help a bit...it will give u the extra burst of current for when the bass hit and hopefully might stabilize the voltage a lil better till the bassline rests and gives the batteries and cap a breather to start back recharging again...

u wont see any drastic change with the cap but it might more help stabilize the voltage....not raise it...if u getting a cap...get a respected brand like tsunami or somn...i dont really trust the stingers and soundstreams much

how come you manage to put 2 cifero 12 volt alternators and 16 volt batteries?

spam · Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 5:39 am Post subject:

the batteries are 12/16 volts

you can use any one

i was planning to run 16v on bass and 12 for the mids and car but decided to run the 12 right tru
