I ordered an 220 amp alt from Iraggi for my 97 maxima i did my big 3 in 4 guage and the alt burnt up(rectifier) never charged above 13.8 and when the bass hits it dropped tp 11.6(about the same for the stock alt)

So i got it fixed installed it again(this time i upgraded the wires with 0 gauge(klm) and i left the 4 gauge in place along with the stock wires

I got it installed played some jeezy to test it out(about a minute NO LIE) and the volts started at 13.9 and dropped 13.6! awsome right:D! then the alt started smoking so i shut down everythnig and i looked closer and the alt was on fire! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

What could the problem be?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

dom said usually its bad or weak batteries but mine sit at 12.6v and arent that old (8mos) and besides my stock alternator is doing fine so i dont know what else can be the problem

 
Call Dom.The dominators come with a 90 day warrenty.
yea i know its there now..but this is the 2nd time..the first time it really didnt charge to well and now it lasted for less than a song..my car was still jacked up..lol
