Ok so heres the deal...i already have 2 300amp alts installed and made my own dual bracket outta angle iron...coat 3 bucks and 30 min of time...not pretty but a lot better than payin dc or mechman 700 for one.
Anyways i recently upgraded my audio system just a tad. Now running 4 sundown nightshade v3 12s on 2 sundown scv6000 amps strapped @.5ohms benched at almost 18kwatts....16 runs of 0 gauge and 7 batteries in the bank.
Problem is two things...first the base shakes the motor to the point of causing the belt to slip making god awful sqealing everytime i turn it up half way...second is im getting voltage drop once i start pulling over 900 amps pf juice.
So im going to replace my serpentine belt tomorrow and noticed my compressor belt is shot too. But since im needing to add another alt to power this beast and i never...ever use my ac, i figured instead of making a triple alt bracket why domt i just pull that ac and fab one in it spot!
Now im pretty mechanically inclined and a fast learner. Prolly could have it figured out in a short time but i always like to ask first just to be safe and get various opinions fronthose who have done this.
So if anyone has any advice on fabrication to make it fir properly please feel free to let me know ur ideas or theorys!
Im ready to be able to fully crank this without the embarrassing squeel!
Also while im asking advice..any advice on a good belt brand? My alignment is just a tad off (maybe 2mm) not an issue until the bass shakes it then it gets a nice wobble. So i figured gatorback or continetal now bit they dont sell those locally. Someone recomended gates brand at oreillys....and specific one? Or any other brand work good for belt noise?
We have pep boys, walmart, oreiilys, autozone, and a few local mom and poo shops here and none sell gatorbacks...but inmy research i found 90 outta 10p prefere gatorback and in another group 9p outta 100 prefer gates...so any opinions?
Also want my ac out cuz i got a never ending leak. It runs not stop for aome reason and cant figure out why. I run the heater and hear it running then my floors soaked. Ive check it over and drains are all clear so screw it ill just tak le it out
Just wanna make sure this is possible and im not ripping poop out for no reason lol.
Thanks in advance guys for any advice!
