[QUOTE="AcuraTL03, post: 8039943, member: 650110"] stock battery up front 2 1/0 runs to the rear. 1+. 1-. HC2400 in the back Well today i noticed that while I am driving my volt meter would read 12.x sometimes with no music playing. When im idle i rest at 14.3. I drove around the block a few times and while accelerating i would i drop to low 12s to 13. If im coming to a stop or slowing down it would go back to 14.3. Is my alternator dead or somthing? All my connections are tight and secure. I mean when i start the car it goes to 14.3 so I dont think its dead right? and with the car off its sitting at 12.4 - 12.7. Also whats a good H.O alt company???? I have a stock 120 amp alt right now. Id like an 200 or 220 amp alt. thanks all this is all with no music playing edit:just got back from driving around the block again. Well while driving i was at 12.6 volts... going like 30 35mph. I parked and i was sitting at 14.1. i played a song full tilt on my powerbass xa1500. i was dipping into the 13.x but never hit 12.x volts. But as soon I put my car in drive and drove off i went into the low 12s. [/QUOTE]
