Just sold my brand new replacement Mechman Alt. Thank god. Took a $125 loss on it but I am thankful it is gone. Had I known that they were using the Ford G4 Alt for their build I would have never bought the thing. One of the worse Alts ever designed and especially to beef up. Matt at Mechman was a great dude and I will not bash MM stuff. It is just not for me. 5 failures is not good. I just ordered a DC Power 275 amp (200 idle) alt that should be installed by the weekend after next. I opt'ed for the $50 extra internally regulated model over Jeeps PCM controlled model. The difference should be ~14.4 volts(pcm controlled) as compared to ~15.1 volts (internally regulated). Matt said that you cant beat on this alt for more than 15-20 mins without a break to cool down. Robbie said you can't hurt this alt. That tells me loads about the manufactures confidence in their products as well.
Changing the subject.
Just got 2-15" Sonances in. They are going in the ' Burban... They are replacing 2-15" CVX's. We do not have the proper enclosure for them yet, so we dropped them in the same prefab box's that the CVX's were in for a direct comparison. Each box is 4.5 ^3 ft tuned to 35 hz. Entirely too big for the Sonances, but they still blew away the CVX's in every way, shape or form.. The upper bass is 1000% better and the lower bass is no longer sloppy and muddy. I have since removed them since they need at least 1^3ft less airspace each. And I know Shawn's stupid azz will want to wang on them not giving a chit of the consequences. They are being powered by 2 pr series 1000 wrms Memphis amps for now.. I'm gonna try to talk him into 2 more Sonances and the 3250V.2 that is on pre-order. That would be a sick setup... Will update later when the new alt arrives and the new enclosure is done.
I have no doubt that this alt will do the trick... I also have 2 of the C&D Tech. 134 AH Batts to add to the mix. 2 more to come shortly.
As for getting loud, well Next purchase with be the 2 15" HW's to run on the 5750 under the window line and dropping back into stock class.(until I decide to double up on the amps/subs).
at least text me with wtf you are talking about w/ the Avy.
He will need to upgrade his frontstage.... again. I am gonna throw away his POS Planet Audio Crossover and mids/highs amp. They just arn't doing the deal.. He needs to properly mount his Alpha comp set too.
