so this kid on SMD claims that i should be ok with an 80 amp stock

alternator running off an audio pipe 2000 together with a rockford 250.4

 

as it is i have major volt drop, have a yellow top under the hood and

an xs power xp950

 

I'm looking forward into buying a singer alt 180 amps

 

but trying to see if it'll be good even after i purchase a larger

amp which I'm thinking about the soundqubed q1 3500

 

let me know what you guys think, should i stick to the 180 amps and still

be good in the future?

 

(still gonna purchase a second xp950 in the near future)

Im not a kid

 

 

 

 

 

and i suggested the 180 singer

 

EDIT- or you can go buy the 800$ dc alts everyone else suggested.

 

Remember YOU said the singer alt, not me.

 

 

If your not wired low, and your seeing that big of a drop, then something else is up

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice to meet you again.

Even with a 180A alt you're going to need more battery than 70AH, in my experience 1 group 31 per 2500w, so you're going to need at least 2.

also..

 

i tried to HELP you

He said he's looking to upgrade

Did you read his 11 other posts that he only has bank (edit, i mean MONEY here) for the alt he mentioned?

yet again, you didn't have to be a b*tch about it, its advice man, you take it to the

next level. You didn't even bother reading through the post until the second page, there

are different ways to communicate rather than just outputting thoughts and opinions..

 

yet, thanks

Figures that 7th grade pre-pubescent activity stems from there.  Just to clear things up.  There is basically ZERO good information on SMD so take everything there as a nuthugger dipshit comment and move on.

Lol sorry guys,

So can anyone help me out?

Or lead me to the right equipment

Don't slack on the electrical

Buy the biggest alt you can afford. Thats about the best advice for ANYONE looking to buy one.

Fully agree. electrical is the backbone of your build, without it, it will fail.

Go for the biggest alternator you can afford/can get for your car, and then slowly shove as many g31s in your car as you can until your voltage is where you want.

He runs 2 "small" amplifiers. And he already has two batteries.
I don't know if he did the big3, but I can't understand why he has major voltage drops. There must be a problem somewhere.

I'm not an expert at all.

 

Of course running the biggest alternator you can will always be a good thing. Especially if you run a 3500 watts amplifier. You will need more or bigger batteries too.

 

Good luck.

Theres something wrong with your build... you shouldnt have major voltage drop with an 80 amp alt w/ 2 batts. your probably pulling like 200 amps with both amplifiers lol. What kind of wire are you using?
