back to the ? at hand, upgrade your big 3 to 0AWG if you dont have that already. if that doesnt help then consider upgrading your cap or battery, but yes yellow top would be my choice
oh yeah, its not about how loud your system is if it sound like crap, so sign me up for "tard of the month" but my system has been tested by kicker, has your?

give us pics. I know of no vehicles that come from the factory with a 300 amp alt. where did ur sound like crap comment come from? who cares if your vehicle has been tested by kicker...what does that mean? a couple guys looked at it and said "yup thats a car"?

Well since this thread went to shit.

Yes I already have the big 3 done, but in 4 gauge, factory was 8 gauge and its still there other than the batt-> alt that one got replaced compeltely

So it will help with dimming, and possibly help my factory alt keep a little cooler?

My factory battery is pretty big, but where my air filter is, Im going to a cold air intake so Ill have a good bit of room for a decsent sized battery so I was thinking I might aswell

Why would you get a f150 for a tow vehicle?

GET A SUPERDUTY... TARD

voltage drops to 13.3 v when base hits. I am running 3 kicker amps 2 solo 10's. it helps that i already have a 300 amp alternator (factory).

I dont know what to say about this...

 

[01 S 10 10+ year member]

replace your 4 awg Big 3 with 1/0 or bigger. I had a noticable difference in voltage drops when i did this. that was before i added additional batteries also.

 

[wat 10+ year member]

so does the f350 super duty get a 500a alt stock?

 

[01 S 10 10+ year member]

must be, maybe a 800 or 1000 amp. ya never know. Lets see if Squeakers has an answer.

upgrade to 1/0 big 3

and then, if u have the money, i would grab something by kinetik (maybe an hc1200 or w/e).

...im baffled, again

And fyi guys, the F-650's have quad-1000 amp alternators...

infinite baffle FTW

yes i make no sense

 

[bass-aholic 10+ year member]

just for information, i am pulling over 3000 watts out of my f150 with the standard alternator with a 5 farad cap and have zero dimming issues.

lol no your not bro, it takes a lot bigger alt than stock to pull that much power.
