College!

Ya I never was much for school lol ! I bet its freakin tough ! Well cant wait to see your new build ! One thing I always liked about you is all your enthusiasm and big azz goals ! Your build will prob hit 160 this time and look good doing it too. I bet your uncle teaches you a thing or two about carpentry as well. Dude I am going to ask you one more time and with all your charging issues why not use one alt strictly for truck and the other three only for stereo ? I only (only?) have three alts and mine are only 2 singer 270 s for stereo and one Js 200 for the truck. I never drop below 13.5 and am almost always at 14.3 normal listening simi loud and I only have 4 gp 31 batterys. Think about it you have what 4- 370 alts and 30 batteries ? I forget what exactly you had but you know what I mean ? I know your drawing alot more current than me like twice the power and half the ohm load but you have twice the alts power only running three and 10 X the baterys ? Try it for a bit and see ? It would end your charging problems. Best of luck to you and keep us posted on new build. Pm me some time !
That's what I did in the past. Was trying to supply even more power by adding a 4th HO alt on a common circuit. Just gave me more issues though :/

Might go back to three dedicated alts.

 
Ya makes it much more simple and then you can use the diode trick to boost charging level up a little. I took mine out with the Taramps i am running cuz I was concerned about running too high voltage in the winter. I kinda want to make up a harness with a switch so I could use it in the summer time and switch it off in winter.

 
I was planning to start gutting my truck this weekend and prep for my next build.

I called that.

Anyway, welcome back, keep in mind actions have consequences, dumb **** you do now can turn from fun to life altering (not in a good way) really quick.

I know you're not one to take advice, but seriously, be careful.

Yeah, I already fucked up my brain chemistry. I now have to take medicine every day because my brain doesn't naturally produce a chemical anymore. I'll have to take medication for the rest of my life. I now fear death.

Just trying to find happiness.

Could have been worse, take it as a learning experience and carry on.

 
tried telling you engineering is no joke lol but if you can get through it, it's awesome stuff.
you get hooked on opiates or some ****?
Nah, lots of pills. It's hard to function without them now.

One of the shitty things about engineering is it's hard to meet women. 5% of my classes are women, 2% are hot women, and 0% are hot women without boyfriends //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I've got a motorcycle now, which I drive more than my truck. It's only a 600, but still lots of fun. It's a fixer-upper I got on Craigslist and have put too much money into, lol. I think I might make a build log for my bike some time, haha. I've got a turbocharger I'm planning to put on it this Summer. It was for a Kawasaki Ninja, but I'll get it to work.
