[QUOTE="lostdaytomorrow, post: 3349303, member: 571461"] You're only running 1600 watts and a 200 amp alternator can't keep up? Something doesn't add up here. And you also have a g34 up front? 1. Finish the Big 3. 2. Let us know if you have any other accessories that are using current from your alternator (TV's or anything in the car) 3. Find out if your alternator is working correctly and actually giving you 200 amps like it should. 4. I assume you're doing these test with the RPM's at about 2000 right? Getting the peak of the power curve for the alternator. If you're measuring the voltage at idle then that's a problem because the alternator can only put out about 90-100 amps at idle most likely. 5. How long have you had the alternator? [/QUOTE]
