WTK: ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY

[slickrick777]

well i'm in the process of putting together a system...these are the amplifiers being used in the system..

1. Zed Audio Leviathan 3
2. RF T600.4
3. Taramps TA1600.1
4. DB Drive A7 2500.1

...i have a volt meter hooked up, voltage dropping down to 12.2 on volume 15...also at volume 10 bass sounding hard and stiff & at 15 bass gets lighter...have 2 xs power d3100's installed in the vehicle currently, one in the engine bay and one in the back...have a stock 130amp alternator...what would be the best bet to get this system playing properly..battery or alternator?

change your tuner he/she does not know what they are doing

The lesser bass could be caused by a clipped signal being sent from the deck (at volume 15 I dont think so though)


Check your amp gains, if they are more than half, thats your problem right there
-Change your tuner

A good rule of thumb is to use the largest alternator you can fit on the engine and an additional battery for every 500 rms watts of amplification.
