Give it a few days to se what happens. If your considering replacing the alt whats the difference if this one dies?

Well maybe getting stranded or not, but other than that?

well, i was driving around for an hr or two with my gf and i just got home, not once did my amp clip or shut off. im happy about that. hopefully it holds up.

Definately, but it does prolong it. It could prolong it indefinately though. For the time being, try wiring all that you've got to higher impedances. Basically try to make everything put out less power for the time being.

Walmart should have the battery you want, an Everstart Maxx I believe is the name. $60 and does the same job as an Optima Red top.

would a new battery and the big 3 help the situation out? or is it just prolonging the inevitable?

by MrSo0h0o » Mon Jun 13, 2005 2:08 pm

hmm.. so short of getting a new alt, i cant help the situation? i kinda expected this, considering the tiny 70amp stock alt

It does to me :) . Your alternator can't keep up and it tries to rely on the battery for backup. With it soley on the battery, your power is consistant and only certain things are drawing power rather than everything.

Not exactly what you want to hear :-/

no not yet.. but i do notice i can turn it louder for a longer time when running off the battery o_0 does this make any sense?

by William from NOLA » Mon Jun 13, 2005 1:31 pm

Have you upgraded your battery?

by MrSo0h0o » Mon Jun 13, 2005 1:09 pm

ok so i just soldered the power wire to the ring terminal and its not cutting out anymore.. at least for that reason. i still cant seem to solve the problem of it cutting out at high volume. my assessment i guess is that 50watts just isnt as loud as i thought!
