Time for a Bigger Alt??

[chaunb3400 10+ year member]

I have been monitering the voltage at my rear batts vs. my front batt and they is a good .7-1v difference in them wen the bass hits, but they are exactly the same at idle.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif. Big 3 is done, and I have a run from the - on the front batt to the rear as well as them being grounded to the chassis back there...here is my question, do you think a bigger alt would help keep all the batts charged or could there be something else to look at

Batts are kinetik 1400 up front and 2 2400's in the rear...Thanx

thats not that bad when the bass is hitting. bigger alt would help, but i would wait until i fried the first alt. how many volts is your alt putting out? my alt is no less than 14 on a hot day. to go down to 13 is ok. when your going under 12 volt you know than your batt is doing the work and not the alt.

you need more runs of wire if you want the voltage to be just as high from front to back. And a bigger alt ALWAYS helps out the electrical

i used to beat up on my alt but it always did the work! when you go under 12 volt you know you need a bigger and better alt. i replaced my original alt at 165,00 miles. never went under 12.5 v with my systems.
