Installing an External Regulator (Crossfire Hummer, 20,000RMS+)

[mikehoncho119]

whats the brand of external that your running?

[Owners1]

@mikehoncho119 That im not really sure of.. shoot me a PM and I'll look later on for you

[MrMxAudio]

Good video man real informative!

[audiofanaticz]

I have a old regulator if you need it. only used it for a short time bro!

same transpo 911 unit, and they are known for going bad even with a single alt.

[ILLTOWN420]

thats insain 6 runs!!!!! and you need 9?!?!?!? that run will be as thick as my neck!! amazing work bro keep it up

[a21bravo]

nice video... so your circuit breaker is what turns yours on?? nice. i have the same regulator im just using a relay that switches on with the car. sweet 4g to the regulator too :)

[Owners1]

@a21bravo thanks. but yeah, I use the circuit breaker. I tried running a conventional switch and it was causing a bunch of trouble for me. I would love to use a relay like that but I literally get the worst gas mileage on earth with all 4 alts on so it's like a gas mileage switch for me lol

@a21bravo

no less then 8 awg even in a short run IMO- has to deal with the amount of field current...otherwise you get the random surging and voltage hops up and down within a full 1V range. Most people blame their alts and they just hooked up their regulator incorrectly

Love it!

[SinBeatz1]

cant wait for SBN2012!!!

[ILLTOWN420]

hey, am i getting this right, so you have 1 run of 8g running from your regulators to your 16v bus bar???? is that all you use for power?

[Owners1]

@ILLTOWN420 it's actually a 4 gauge run. I tried running 8ga and it was an absolute disaster. But to answer your question. yes, that is what I use for the POS (+) part on the regulator. You have to realize you aren't transferring the full current of the alternators through the regulator. It's just an adjustment mechanism. The full current and amperage travels through the 1/0 wires that run to the back batteries.

[ILLTOWN420]

@Owners1 oh ok so how many runs of 1/0 do you use?

[Owners1]

@ILLTOWN420 right now I have 6. I need to run 3 more though.

went for baked zitti to fixing up the car... mikey ur a jack of all trades xD

[UnderLoK]

What are you talking about man? You obviously have your soldered connections protected under the etape... ;)

[Owners1]

@UnderLoK uhhh.. yeah bro you're right. sure thing :D

[RobCarnag3]

I hope you have this thing dialed in for SBN2012. I can't wait to hear it again.

[Owners1]

@RobCarnag3 definitely.  should be awesome by SBN

[MrBass226]

good stuff bro....but you don't need a different regulator for 12 volts....those work from 12 to 20 volts..can't wait for the vids keep bangin

[blistic3000]

I had the same problem with my quad alts I had to rum two my self

[Owners1]

@blistic3000 really? I guess it's a common thing that they don't like supporting more than 2 alts on a single regulator then.

[blistic3000]

@Owners1 yea they dont have big one for four yet

[ralphlu2007]

NICE I WAS ALWAYS CONFUSED ABOUT THEM THINGS THX

[Owners1]

@ralphlu2007 no problem. glad I could help at least one person

[toucandan8989]

almost there !!

lookin good
