my saz cuts off after like 10 min off bass no clipping.... no heat nothing..... i think my voltage drops too low.... need to get big 3 done and getting a kinetik hc800 for now....
i have a 1992 toyota camry, and my stock alt is 80 amps, and i did the big 3 in 1/0 wire and have a good battery thats an everstart maxx just like yours in this video, and on my pioneer HU it has a built in volt meter, but it says that at idle im only doing 13.8-14.0 volts, and when im driving im only charging at about 13.7 volts, so how the heck do u manage to get 14.2+ out of a 60 amp alt?? is there something that i missed!!
@davidcallier My battery is poo lol make sure all your connections are solid, bare metal contacts. And every car is going to be different, so I couldn't really tell you exactly why we have different reading. are you using the same volt meter? who's to say mine could be off or something, but from what i've seen this voltage is average. what was your voltage before you did the big 3?
well all my connections on my big 3 are sanded and clean down to bare metal, and nice and tight connections too!! and my voltmeter is built into my pioneer HU!! but idk if mine is accurate or not!!
and before the big 3 my idle was at 12.5-12.7 volts, and driving it was at 13.5-13.7!!
after the big 3 upgrade my idle voltage was at 13.8-14.0, but when im driving it is only at 13.7-13.8!!
the big 3 helped but the specs on my car says that my voltage can be up to 14.4, and its not?!?
good to know its rated at 12.8v :) thats why i love sundown. even at 12v your still pushing 1.5k atleast.. i have stock factory 60amp alt, stock front battery, big 3 in 1/0. 1/0 to back xspower 3400 and 0 gauge to amp. i rest at like 13.8-14.4 while driving and idle (since its getting colder) but during summer shit was like at 13.5.. i dunno how low i will drop. i just ordered the amp today.
What kind of electrical system are you running? - I have a stock 195amp alt on a 93 explorer - I want to run a Sundown Audio 1500D but I think that I need to rig up a secondary alt underneath the hood along with some sort of car audio battery inside my truck as well. How many amps does that Sundown Audio 1500D draw peak? - I figure I pull 80-100 amps easy just running my truck with the lights, wipers (it rains a lot), and maybe AC/Defrost ...
@djmrr this is with my stock 60 amp alt. i might of had the heat on, i dont remember. 195 will do you plenty good, but more/upgrading batteries wont hurt. get a volt meter like mine and see what your voltage does. if it does drop too much then get some upgrades. i still need to get a new battery up front. Remember to do the big 3 in 1/0 wire. that shold help a lot.
im happy i saw this video cause i was askin around on ssa if i need a new bat, and ur system is proof that i dont, specially cause im just going to be getting the SAZ-1000D. thank you for helping me save money :D
dang is that @ full tilt? surprised it doesnt drops to 11V. i have the big 3 done in 4 gauge, running stock alt (70a) and a Duralast battery. im only pushing aroung 1200 watts and i get heavy voltage drops on some songs. at idle im @ 14.8V, but it can drops all the way down to 12V almost to 11V. but to me the big 3 helped out alot. should i have done it in 0 gauge? i did it in 4 gauge cuz i only have stock alt/batt. thanks.
yup, thats as loud as i take it daily. upgrading to 1/0 may help some, not sure if it will be too noticeable though, but deff. worth a try :) the alt and batt. doesn't determine what gauge to use, its just bigger wire has less resistance, which will be easier to run power through
but damn that shit got to be a ground shaker, cuz ur car is small. my homie had a single 12" in a EK, bass traveled nice. are you plannin on getting an HO alt? or batteries?
sometime or another ill be getting a XS power 5100 to replace my starting battery, that should do me fine... until i get another amp and sub :D this thing gets pretty loud, check out my newest video. shaking my house windows, i need to make another showing how far away i can get while still shaking them
really, i was planning to replace my battery too (under the hood) but people are saying it will be more stress on my alt, true? i even have money for a new alt right now but maybe a battery soon.
no? hehe the alt puts out the same power, the battery is just what stores it or whatnot, its not "pulling" more power from the alt so it wont do anything bad at all. just help your electricity all around :) get the battery, and alt if you still need it.
Damn good shxt. Voltage doesnt really drop that much. I dont know why but mine probably drops more. I need to hook my voltmeter up that i got. Ineed to solder my terminal ends.
i have been noticing some headlight dimming... i really want to order my battery. i just need to get paid! lol ill have enough saved up within a month... hopefully ;)

@eselilchoco13 Turn your gain down before you really hurt something. XS power FTW :)

@WhatsCS It will change with every vehicle. get a meter and check what your system does, wont be the same as mine.

i should get battery first? it wont hurt at all right?
btw do you know whats the difference from the SAE and the SAZ series?
