[QUOTE="12VoltInstaller, post: 3296317, member: 564140"] This guy is on the money. If your running into the low voltage low amperage situation at low rpm, find an alternator pulley that is a fraction smaller. I do not know the equation for this ratio, but I am under the impression that this will only affect you adversely if you have a high revving engine that will spin the alternator past its efficient working rpm at extended periods of time (long highway trips) = thermal failure. It would either be that or turn up your slow idle on the vehicle ever so slightly. (Not my recommendation) Why would someone suggest wire if you are now to the point of asking the questions regarding efficiency and duty cycle of your alternator? He's been down that road man....hes got the hose...he wants a bigger hydrant! Have you used your meter to inspect your voltage levels with these accessories running while you increase rpm? It might not just be a revs per minute in relationship to the alternator...it could be something else..... try the meter first...then on to the next. If you want to run all those ACC. go right ahead...who says you can't...if you got it...flaunt it.... you wouldn't run all that during an SPL comp anyway. Its all about bumping your Cake and having A/C too! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif[/IMG] Holla back..... [/QUOTE]
