[QUOTE="528hz, post: 8040087, member: 581076"] So... I went to my good friend's shop and tested the alt. We used this: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/turbocivic_01/CIMG0067-2_zpsaedf15ac.jpg[/IMG] So at idle my voltage is still sitting at 13.7-13.9 and I'm getting about 90 amps from the alt. At 2000 RPM I'm only getting 150 amps and the RF is wanting 350 on 0db tones...hence why the alt is having to dig down into the batteries. It will hold 12.6-13.0v at idle hitting on it hard. All-in-all, my alt is not putting out what it should be, but it is working. I'm not sure if I'll mess with it or not. I don't compete, but still. It would be nice to have everything to full capability. But the good thing is I won't hurt anything. I did get to meter though. This is SEALED on the dash. [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/turbocivic_01/CIMG0066_zps5ddebd1d.jpg[/IMG] I did get to a 48.7, when I should have snapped the pic, but after messing around too much in the end I only got this one. With my driver window down she'll do a 51.3. Not bad from one 18" SP4, RF 2500bdcp...7 cu. ft net tuned to 36 hz.
