hi u have a jl audio 1000/1v2 amp and 3 fosgate p2 15's in a plymouth breeze .just bought a ho alt 225 amps. lights still dim and engine stalls down.and help or ideas would be greatly apprecated.
tried it.the car runs fine without amp hooked up electrical runs at 14.4.the amp needs a 100amp fuse in line.it keeps blowing them so i put a 125amp breaker on.it's the stangest thing i have ever seen.going 2 try hawker odyssey battery pc2150s if it doesent fix it.i guess i'm in real trouble.
ok set amp.gain was 2 high.no more blown fuses.lights still dim.would 0 gauge wire on the big 3 help?and any ideas on extra power?battery vs capacitor.if so what brand thanks 4 all ur help
You mean you put in a HO alt without doing big 3???? Not only is that just plain dumb its extremely dangerous... stock wires do not handle that kind of current.
And lets see, crap EA alt, crap optima battery, capacitor..... not much we can do with that pile of fail.
o.k. genius if u could read!u would see i did big 3 2 gauge wire.and as 4 crap why don't u buy me something that's not crap!!u piece of crap!all i wanted was a little advice not sarcasam .
and lets see hooked on phonics just might work 4 u m.s. [momas sissy]
Frito, you're still missing what we've been saying. The amplifier seems to be the problem. Take it into a shop and have it checked out on a bench to see if it's drawing more current than it should due to an internal short circuit.
ok got car checked.amp not problem.they put 2/0 gauge wire big 3 and 2 amp.every thing is lovly.no lights dimming and hits so hard knoked windows of track.thanks 4 ur help!
Odyssey has good batteries in the deep cycle catagory but you'll want to isolate it with a battery isolator rated for equal to or greater than the current output of your alternator, if the battery is for the audio system as a second unit. any RV shop or on-line should have the isolators for relatively cheap.
