More voltage isn't going to do crap if you don't have the AMPERAGE to back it up.

And BTW, that video is a joke.

13.6 is CRAPPY voltage even for a stock alternator, and 12.5 is pretty weak voltage for a redtop as well.

He said his subs were playing "full tilt", meaning he had the volume up to wherever he sets it to, but it sure didn't sound like a solid beat or tone or anything. It was little kick drum bass that wouldn't affect voltage that much anyways.

It's a waste of money, IMO. If anything, I think it would kill your voltage regulator in the end from having it run so high all the time. Your alternator has a set voltage for a reason.

kick drum beat?

I was playing this song, turn it up

ya ive heard the song and its pretty loud. but on your video it sounded weak thas what tommy is saying

my current setup as stated, is in a sealed box with two weak 12's, they dont drop low, thats why i bought my new gear

You seemed to have avoided all my other comments.

You have a 200 watt amp and expect the voltage to dip? For christ's sake, get some common sense.

so it just makes the alternator full field all the time? wtf

Exactly what I was about to say, who gives a **** about your voltage if you dont even have the CURRENT TO BACK IT UP!!!! CURRENT is what you are after, not voltage.........The only thing you can do is upgrade your alternator, something that pushes out more amps.

This device is only going to fry the shit out of your alternator, its going to run its brains out.

Get some common sense and learn how to read //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

i said 400, not 200

Also, if you increase the voltage going to your cars electrical system you are going to fry the shit out of that to. Everything in your car isnt designed to handle higher voltages than 14.

And how much current do you expect that to draw?!?!?!?!

 

[MikeyB 5,000+ posts]

Didnt you say you have 8 gauge power wire?!?!

Im sure that flows all kinds of juice eh

OH WOW!!!

400 watts?!?! That amp listed in your sig does 100x2 RMS bridged, which is why I said 200 watts.

Look out now!! You shouldn't be getting any voltage dip from a 400w amp anyways, unless your wiring isn't up to par.

And once again, you avoided ALL my other comments that i stated. Current, burning voltage regulator, set voltage, etc.

Any particular reason for that?

Because he has discovered how much of an idiot he is
