I do know what i have to do to fix the problem if there is one. A ho alt or the big 3 or a smaller pully. I am not a big fan of power caps but im gona give one a try i orderd one yesterday it should be here tomrrow. Any ways i have a 1999 Ford escort that i just got it has a refurb alt in it( 75 amps or 95 im not sure) . But it works fine i have a motor craft battery in the car.  i have 4 gauge wire from my batt to my block then the block has 10 gauge to my amp. i have a 10 gauge ground wire that is in a good spot with a gold connecter to a bolt. I have a pioneer deh-ph5oooub radio. i all so have 2 mtx jack hammer 12 inch subs that are 250 rms each in a ported box.I have a 2 channel power acoustik ts 1440 that i got last week on amazon . I have the subs runing to each channel not bridged so thats 300 rms to each sub. I will see a volt drop to 12.6 with a bass test tone cd playing at volume 35 or so.My radio goes to 62 but there is no need for me to go full tilt.I have my gains set to midd and bass boost to less then mid or so.I have a bass knob that is set past midd.I will see my drop to 12.6 when the car is siting if i have my lights on they will dim with the bass .When i get the rmp up a bit my volt drops back to 13.5 and up. So i know my alt is working. At low rpms, driving slow my volts drop as well to 12.5 or so i now a smaller pully can help .I did a 127.7 in my car on the db meter and 128.8 in the trunk with the seats down . i wanted to know if my volt drop will harm my alt?ps im checking my volt drop threw a cigg lighter plug in meter. sory for long post and the other night with music playing i was seeing my lights diming even at 40 plus mph. that only happens with hard hiting bass</p></blockquote><p></p>
