  • Steve, do you have a wiring diagram for installing 4 alternators?

  • steve get rid of that gas engine and get an electric dc motor no more gas oils antifreeze hoses exuast gastank all gone and no transmission either look up ev motors on youtube

  • @skullin67 ya that sounds like a great plan LOL

  • thats not an automotive engine. thats a GM brand gas powered generator with a PTO output to power some wheels lol.

  • Great work! I have an Escalade 205 with a 140W factory alternator. I don't know why GM did that. It's like the little dingy oil filter they use too. Anyway, good to see some good ole American Engineering at work and I like the way you put the tensioners there to max output.

    Hats off!

  • steve i have a question for you. when you wire multiple alternators to your electrical system do you just wire the harness' on all of them in parallel?

  • How did you make the brackets? I need to make one for three alternators in an 01 suburban

  • And you lose around 20 horse power, waste of money for a power you can not even use.

    Now if you engine is electric and you need huge charge i can understand otherwise is retard.

  • @Keysforge its for the system you stupid fuck, i use it every day......and FYI: nobody cares what you "understand" or what you think is a "waste of money" lol

  • @meade916 and mead you get better idle by using a swtich to shut off all the alternators and run on battery at idle. You don't need a 240 amp alternator to get a better idle. Who sold you on that idea?

  • @sanity599 what makes you think you know more about this then me? lol

  • @meade916 well you posted what you know. So it's easy to compare. And besides switching the alternators off an old street racers trick to get a little more out of the engine. You turn off the alternator right before you race. This could be just enough to get your bumper in front of the other guys.

  • @Keysforge This guy just doesn't get it. You don't use and electric motor to make electricity. There is no such thing as an electric engine there are electric motos.

  • How many Amps can you take from one alternator?

  • @gabrieltgh Each one of those are 270

  • Cool, but the wiring must be a bitch

  • The wiring must be a bitch

  • HELP THIS GUY MAKE MONEY RANDOM COMMENTS!

  • Your brain needs an alternator

  • STEVE MEADE<--- THE CAR AUDIO GOD!!! xD fuck all the haterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • Wow, just wow sir. Very nice setup, ever thought of powering your home with just your tahoe. LOL

  • Hey Steve,

    As an avid lover of car audio and chest rumbling bass, I've got a question for you... I need to install multiple alternators in my 97 Ford Ranger XLT and ive got a good location for them to go, I just do not know where to begin... Should I have someone fabricate the mounting hardware or?? If I can't find someone to do that then I don't even know where I could get one made lol... anyways, any guidance would be awesome... and keep up the window shaking bro ;P

    Later

  • I wonder if meade is a youtube partner... Assuming he is, everyone time one of you try and insult him, not only will you obviously unsecceed, but he also gets payed for your generous viewing of his videos :D So.. talk shit, get h- steve meade some free money..

  • @HeroicHereticsHH3 you are 100% correct on everything........and i thank the haters for watching lol!

  • Is the A/C compressor still there? Or did it have to be removed so the belt could run all the alts? And does your Tahoe have working A/C IF the compressor is still there? Just wonderin'. :)

  • could it be any type of altenator

  • woooow ! ;D

  • Shit man, I love ya set up man, i've watched most of ya clips, That shit must pump hard, I run a xxx4000d soundstream amp and a pioneer tsw-5000spl 12 inch sub in ported box, It pumps, but after watching your clips , I need some 18z up in here,

    If i seen ya rolling in the streets of New Zealand , i'll bow down to you any day man, Cher cher

  • LOL

    That's like 500 AMPS X 14.4 volts = 7200 watts or about 10 horspower worth of energy.

    Nice!

  • @canoae this is not your personal place to advertise.  Please use your own channel.

  • @canoae this is not your personal advertising space. Use your own channel.

  • That is a really nice setup. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and post it.

  • why 4???

    do u have a system on it???

  • wowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

  • That is awesome! Very nice work. Did you have to fabricate your own bracket for that setup or do they sell a bracket for that?

  • @bigjohn68040 iraggi made the bracket for the quad alternator setup

  •  For us beginners, what are the 4 alternators doing for you that the standard one won't ? Very impressive looking, I just don't understand what's going on ?

  • @ngzcaz one stock alternator can not supply the power to run 30,000 watts. thats why 4 are needed and as well as 10 batteries. These are not your average alternators either

  • cClean i was expecting some half assed bullshit. Nice.

  • Nice job to keep you going when the power goes down

  • damn, they say an alternator takes like 20hp to power it so you lose 80hp right there

  • looks good I wish i had the room to do that clean job Rick

  • i'am a auto shop owner and have fixed so many back yard wal audio jobs .it is good to see some who does such nice work.thats art to me i love it

  • @asemastertechl1 THANK YOU SIR! :)

  • even tho it was just a mazda B2200,i had 4 15's 4 amps 6 batts two pumps all the rest of the hydro set up in my truck i really couldn't tell that much of a difference in the gas it took then when it didn't have anything in it.....

  • Where did you get your belt done at?

  • Nice set up ! Never met you but I have heard a lot of good things about you, despite the haters. Very nice build, looking at the chart. Keep up the awsome builds !!

  • to make the big 3 do you recomend the fuse betwen the alt. and battery?

  • @gigiboxa, i dont run one, neither does my mate who has a 155db mazda 121.....if you think your wire mite come loose do it, remember to put a bigger fuse the the output of your alt if you do

  • yo` steve i have one question:i have 1 cable from my positive battery to the starter engine,then from that starter engine positive i have an smaller wire that goes directly to the alt. positive and y want to make the`` big 3``. do you recomend to put a fuse betwen the alt. and battery? counting with disabling that small wire from the starter to alt.

  • Any one here know where i can find a external regulater box with a adjustable knob on it? i had one awhile back and cant seem to find one anywhere

  • Try to run HHO Generator back into your engine

  • HEY!!! PEOPLE THAT HATE ON STEVE.....Your stupid insults are directed to every subscriber on the list as well. You're hating on a business man who's pursuing his dream. Only complete losers have the nerve to disrespect.

  • diggin the chart at the end. crazy install!

  • ay man fuck all those haters, that shits raw ass hell. if i had the money to do that i would in a second but bein 16 makin minimum wage aint gonna cut it lol. ill just havta stick to my L7s but sweet system bro

  • hey man i just have a small kicker 1500watt amp and was wounderin what i should power it with...i have a 1998 dodge durango...good lookin on the vid 2 thay helped a lot fuck the dumb fuckin haterz rockin there phoenix golds lol...i also wanted to know if theres any kind of school that i can go to to learn about car audio...HIT ME BACK IT WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

  • @tha1onlyjake What kicker is it, what ohms are the voice coils, what ohms do you plan to wire em too and then fine a matching amp. Subs are always best for mono block class D amps.. for interior speakers you want class a or b i belive becuase more dedicated to clearer highs than distorted.. anyways you want to remember a small kicker you rprobably lookint and a cvr or something which is 400rms so you do not want to run a 1500wat stable amp on it. or TOAST. remember the ohms.. its important

  • @LoudSide20 kicker CVX 2 OHM 15s got 2 of them but but im selling them 2 morrow and getting a t2500bd and 2 15 inch T2D2 i dont know what kinda battery i shoud buy yet to power my amp yet i kinda wanna go with kenectic but im open to peoples opinion i just got a 250amp alt as far as door speakers go thats goin to have to wate a coupple month cuz this system is puttin me back a lil

  • @tha1onlyjake Damn sounds like a plan. But those are dual 2ohm, P/P wiring=.5ohm, S/P = 2ohm, S/S= 8ohm. The amp looks like its a 1ohm minimum so .5 is out, and runnin 2ohm is 1800watts rms which tells you that each sub would be getting roughly 900watts outta the 1,200rms which isnt to bad I suppose. Hmmm guess up to you. far as the rest, your new ALT is good, make sure you have good wiring, and probably want a good sized kinetik batt.

  • That is a thing of beauty. I 'bout cried.

  • Wow people bitching about 4 alternators setup,

    honestly i tought everyone would be just impressed has i am...

    And at this point you dont give a FUCK about mpg, this is a performace car audio just like a dragster is built to drive staright with full power, do you think people that have dragster give a flying fuck about mpg?

  • nice ride ................i have a question im going to run 2alternators on my truck i have a 250amp alternator already do both alternators have to be the same amps or can one be a 250amp and the other a 200amp?????????

  • Meade you should get an idle hold trigger so that you can hold her at a steady RPM while sitting there instead of having too control it with your foot

  • Thats a lot off $

  • comments crack me up lol...and that setup is sick

  • If so many of you are mad about this man's alternators, amps, or whatever he has in his car that costs more than your 1 year's sallary,why the F!@K do you watch these videos? Obviously this aint for you! This man has a business that is very prosperous because he is THEE Best at what he does. And he has a million videos to back that up. There's a HUGE difference between Competition car audio, and the shit you find in bestbuy. Clearly, this man is NOT the "BestBuy" kind of guy. Good work Meade!!

  • @strobaholic thanks :) and by the way thats 58 million not one million ;)

  • @strobaholic i have to agree with you that he is the best at what he does, but i wish some more top of the line companies would sponsor him so he could really make his shit retarded bulletproof, (morel and DD equipment)

    vs. (ascendent and rockford)

  • Is is a bit extreme :-)

    But looks like you know what you´re doing. Good looking setup.

  • hi, how can i know if my alternator is not working?i have 1998 pajero.

  • hi, how can i know if my alternator is not working?i have 1998 pajero.

  • whats the point in that ? Whats that running a welder ?

  • Darth Vador had one of these setups in his suburban to charge up his light sabre.

  • From the way it looks under the hood, it looks better than factory. Nice job Steve.

  • And if any of you have not realized by now- how much fuel we burn here has 0 impact on price per gallon-- That you need to thank your friends over at OPEC- They are the ones that decide price per barrel. Theyre the ones that even though production has gone up at times have raised prices on crude anyway. They set the price we pay it- so the only ones these types of installs hurt are the owners of these vehicles.

  • Actually- The ones on here commenting on his gas mileage and statiing there gas mileage stats are the real retards- Ive never read so many stupid comments(no offense).Last time I checked ANYONE doing this type of customization AND worries also about fuel economy-they make places for you, theyre called asylums. If you want economy, throw a second battery and an isolator in the mix and be happy with the limited watts. You want to get real performance write off mileage and go with extra alternators

  • i have same truck how did u do it 

  • You got a bunch of haters homie

  • where did you buy the alternators?

  • to all the people bitching about what that does to the gas mileage: you do realize that those draw sometling like 12-13 hp, right? thats nothing for an SUV liek that. i dont think he got more than a 5% MPG drop.

  • Very nice. I was wondering how they were mounted. Awesome truck Steve

  • he has money and wants to spend!!! let them be nice work @meadde916

  • so if i have 3 t2500 fosgates and 3 L7 15's i would need 2 alternators...

  • @nike4life4 and more subs

  • Hows does your alternators know knew to charge the bank of batteries? Did you modify the sense line?

  • Hi steve. My stock alternator is externally regulated and I am wanting to keep that alternator to run my 500 watt amp and all the stock car electronics. I want to put another alternator on the engine to run a separate battery that will power a 2000-2500 watt amp. I know it is possible, but how difficult will it be? Just fabricate a bracket and weld it on or is there a bracket already out there? any help is appreciated. Love your and EXO's videos, btw.

  • @wiidROOR @meade916 The car is a 1992 nissan 240sx w/ ka24de engine it is RWD. Read the last post I made, it has my question on it. Thanks man.

  • let me help out all of these guys that think they know shit about audio and cars first yes 4 600A batteries might put out more power than his alternators BUT HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES they run out of power pretty easily when you have 20,000 watts of amplifers they need to power so that is what alternators do they charge the batteries. he has 4 of them because he has 10 batteries and with 4 HO alternators he doesnt have to rev his motor at a demo. maybe this will clarifythings

  • You sir are a FUCK TARD.

  • @TheKRAKR you sir are a FAGOLA.

  • man that shit is stupid my truck puts out more power with one alt and three batteries and your fuckin truck prolly dont get 30mpgs so your the reason people gotta pay more for gas LOSER

  • @icemanwv how could your truck with one alt do more then my four alts? is it a 1400 amp alternator? how could your 3 batteries be more power then my 10 batteries? are they bigger then group 31? hey, before you talk shit bro, make sure you take a look at your video's first....i wont comment on what your girl looks like because there is someone for everyone LOL-but if you make a cheesy ass video like that for her, you might wanna spring for something better then WMM and a GAY ASS SONG lmao douche

  • @meade916 lets not forget about his sweet job at taco bell LoL

  • HAHA lmao thats hilarious hes making fun of you than i looked at his page... wow *Cough* taco bell *cough*@meade916

  • nyse spulling... thems arnt sposed too bee thens - thes spoosd ta bee thanz.

    @meade916

  • @meade916 get em hahah

  • @meade916 LMAO, I went to see what you were talking about. Life sucks for the poor dude, leave him be!

  • @meade916 - Dude I been watching your vids for a long time, I am giong to subscribe I havent yet because I do not addict myself to internet sites, but I do tell everyone I meet out at the bars ect ect when car audio gets brought up I whip out my droid and pop on your vids of your 20,000wat system and people shit! lol. FUCK THE HATERS! your amazing at this and I have a passion for this work doing all my own installs for me and friends but no where near your talent. GOOD WORK!

  • @meade916 Oh My GOD! That burnt so bad I felt it! LoL Keep up the good work Meade!

  • @meade916 Steve, where can I get one of those Iraggi alternators? Do i need to use thicker gauge wire with it? Thanks!

  • @icemanwv bahahahahhahahaha I had to look at your uploads. roflmmfao you have one ugly woman. If your girl looks like that you must look like sloth and she is your chunk. hahahaahahhahahahahahaha

  • @icemanwv haha damn u got told NASTY!!

    and your stupid if you think your truck puts out more power with one alternator..

    you must not know about cars SMH

  • @icemanwv - your a turd nugget dude. And you even brought in the cost of gas like who cares, if you cannot afford to drive then stay HOME! 

  • @icemanwv why dont u just shut the FUCK up

  • @icemanwv man your wife looks like a troll.

  • Целая электростанция )))

  • hey steve where can i get a iraggi Alternator for my car? do they have a website because i can not find it.

  • holly shit

  • man thats insane you must be pushin 4 18's 20000 watts what kind of subs you got i got a blue 99 Tahoe and i have a T1 10" in the back in a pro box and it slams plus i got 4 guage wire running to the amp which helps put out that max wattage i have to see if i can bridge my amp though if i can that thing will desomate all

  • tell us your milage

    cuz i drive a 200 dollar car that gets 40mpg rocking a sound system i put toghter that puts out 10w draws 1 amp from an extra battery i have in my trunk

    and i have a diesel truck that gets 30mpg on wvo

  • @mikedrazen why, who the hell gives a damn LOL. I dont.

  • @meade916

    i am saying my car getts better milage without mods, its an automatic

    not like i super save gas with a stick, the car, the entire car cost less then the bracket mount to mount alternatorz, not to mention it cost less then just 1 altnator.

    just braggin i guess

    and wvo means waste vegetable oil

    which means it's free.........

  • Probably the coolest thing i have seen in a long time!

  • I seen two trucks with that alternator setup like that that you made. where do all the positives from the alternators go and do you think if i get a second factory alt. hook it up just 4 my 1 speaker do you think that will be good ?

  • Batteries would be better guys. But, I guess it don't look as cool. 4 alts for 1300 amps = 2-3 batteries @600 amps per.

  • @Localmode please stop, that is nonsense.

  • @meade916 US submarines use to go into battle on nothing but battery power. And this is nonsense? But I was referring to the keydown contests I see on here not continuous playing of music. But, you have to keep your engine running which eats up fuel. I don't. Do the math. (4) 600 amp batts.(deep cycle) in parallel will be 12 volts x 2400 Ah = 28,800 watts. This is already more than you've got. Snicker Snicker. Cheaper and less noisy too! Now double that. 12v x 4800 Ah = 57,600 watts!

  • @Localmode please shut the hell up bro you do not sound smart at all "snicker snicker" LOL - ya bro US submarines probably USED to go into battle with nothing but batteries until everyone died because batteries dont recharge themselves. Seriously, you have no clue what an alternator or a battery does so im gonna spare you even more embarrasment and block you off my page. I cant spend all day arguing with a 5yr old.

  • @meade916 ya u tell em lol idk what u2 are even argueing about altenators or something

  • @Localmode dude you're a dumbass.

  • steve i just won iasca world finals with 6-15s and 20,000 watts rms and i hit 156s playing music.. and i have always wondered what kind of number you do....

  • nice

  • @meade916: lol, don't try a career at customer support, dude, you just simply fail at it ;) the installment is neat, anyways. keep up the good work.

  • Wow. Im excited. Thats some power. :]

  • I see why you need the extra power but under full load you will lose engine horsepower for the tradeoff gained in electricity produced. No big deal really because you don't need 400 horsepower to go 60-75 anyways. You just won't be able to pass as fast. Nice work.

  • I like ya stuff Steve ;)

  • "why 4 alts?" dumbest question i ever read on car audio vids on this site. did you see how many amps and batteries the spec sheet showed?!

  • You sstill the fuckin man Steve......got'em hate talking like plies......LMAO....PUSSIES

  • lol. Meade acts like he knows everything, and tries at act all smart. His installs have wires hanging out and everything. You should see. Installs aren't clean at all. Builds crappy boxes and puts crazy power to them. My dude can shake windows with 4 15's and 3300 RMS. Meade has to do 30,000 watts rms. Sucks!

  • @abercrombieboi1107 please put your crack pipe down before you burn your fingers again. Fuckin DOUCHE.

  • @meade916 im with meade on this one... fuck off... ur just jelous of his skills

  • killer build, but whats with all the idiots?

  • 1 alternator under full load can draw up to 5 hp from the engine.

  • how many can you have? and how many do you need?

  • think i can get 4 in my 85 cutdog???

  • dude that's sick 4 350A+ altenators

  • who has the ownship??? the DEVIL?? nice setup!!!!

  • max power at how many rpm???? over 1000??

  • lol! i love the answer page lmao that was funny and ppl are still asking why in the comments lol

  • To power 4 18" subs and god knows how many amps he got

  • 2 amp, of 15.000W each...when you have all that money...you don't buy 10-20 amp to have 20-30.000W..you buy the real shit

  • look at his rebuild, it shows all the details and when he puts his amp rack in... he has a shit load of rockford fosgate amps, cant remember the exact amount but theres quite a few... your thinking of his chickens caddy, he has 2 15000 watt amps, the biggest and baddest you can get

  • Hey Steve could you do a detailed vid of how to do this? I want to do this to my truck but have no clue where to start would really appreciate it brother have a great day.

  • i don't think he done it...in a service, because it needs a custom grill for all that alt...and to do that, it's not easy at all...

  • how are you gonna argue with Meade??? dude he is a stereo LEGEND!!!!!

  • what is the point? why three?

  • there is 4 not three, learn how to read. Also once you open up your eyes and pay attention, you will see what the point is.

  • whatever it didn't explain the point

  • man are you serious? haha you try powering 30,000 watts with a stock altenator... just see what happens

  • maybe he need more power, but to power what.

  • have you not seen his videos?

  • @meade916 your an idiot,the guy asked you nicely

  • @thereaperorsutch im not sure what your talking about but you can go fuck yourself anyway....how u like that for asking nicely?

  • @meade916 you are such an asshole to commenters, you cant take the slightest bit of criticism.

  • @MrSlartie where do you see criticism? all i see is shit talkers. If someone talks shit i talk shit back. If you dont like it, DEAL with it LOL

  • damn where can i find those iraggi alternators?

  • wow. I would be interested to hear what that does to your gas mileage. maybe if you point all those speakers out the back it will actually make you go faster. lol

  • @sodapop503 Unloaded the alts only draws a negligible amount of horsepower. With the additionnal sound system off he basicly gets the same mileage as a stock truck on 24's

  • how did you fit all of those alternators in there?

  • Holy fuck! You could power Las Vegas with that rig! :)

  • AHAHA Nice one

  • blady shit! that is not a track, portable generator.. :))

    how many alternators did you use? couldunt caunt...

  • why do you need 4? planing on a bunch of light mods?

  • yes i am adding 5000 lights to my truck.

  • lmaol, come to think of it, something like that would be very effective against the Scam-Cams

  • @SoldierCyfix WHY!! do you have to ask...""WHY" ? Maybe you should plan to read about pocket protectors and video cards instead of hardcore car audio...LMFAO Man these comments are fuktasticly hillarious. Steve you must be pissing in your pants just reading some of this shit...ahhhahahaha

  • @FuKnOveRkiLL video cards ? lol yea because you want to display the speedometer in HD .lmfao whatever

  • Or you could have just hooked 1 3phase ac motor with a rectifier, just like in those trucks used by phone companies.

  • simple as that! NOT. LOL

  • @meade916 It is!

  • That a 5.3?

  • hey steve i just wanted to say that if it wasnt for your videos, i would have never found an alternator for my car! turns out iraggi is the only company that makes a H.O. alternator (a decent one that is) for a chrysler sebring. thanx for the info and advice! keep it coming. My car runs at 15.1-15.5 volts now!!

  • why so many alternators???

  • that truck has 20,000 watts of stereo power.. like 100x more power then the stock alternator is designed to handle.

  • That set up is sweet , holy shit !
