Charging problem..

Well i have bought a Iraggi Alternator (220amp) about 2 weeks ago installed it everything worked fine until today i was listening to music and notice a burning smell(not amps or subs) like tires burning so I cut everythng off and pulled over after looking at my car and everything i notice my volts were only at 12v then i rev the engine alittle and it went to 12.2v before it would be about 14.2 then idle around 13.6-13.7..I was going to upgrade the wires some more today once i got paid because my big 3 is done in 4 gauge and my wires going to the second battery is 1/0 gauge. I was going to add 1/0 to the big there and do another run of 1/0 until i can get some more money..I check all the grounds and amps and everything seems fine but for some reason my volts are at 12v only..what happened? I didnt blow and fuses i check them too..

i've burned up a few batteries with the snow plow. it smells similar to rotten eggs when they burn up.

Maybe something went wrong with your alternator..? I don't know, that was just the first thing that came to mind.

Ok everyone i took out the alternator today and notice that a part inbetween the case where its solder to another part has been broken.(im hoping that the only problem) I emailed Dom and prolly will call torrommow I also notice some solder resin on the case like alittle sloppy job. I know when i bought the alternator he was busy getting tons of alternators ready for SBN.. i just hope he didnt rushed the job..
