This is the car in park, sitting in the lot... No audio being played, obviously amps are on by music is not played at all... My idle does the same as this... EDIT: also an installer that comes by my job once in a while came in today and I mentioned it to him and he thinks maybe I need another ground possibly... He said I should do another from alternator to chassis on top of the one I have going straight to the negative terminal on the battery.... What's your feeling on that jon???

lol... Congrats man!!!

No not tender, just rather help and be of assistance than fail at humor like you. bleh.... anyway, what size zcon is this? I must've missed that ..

lol... geez tender today.... just messin' about...

i'm joking... get a SP4...

sell your truck and save your money man... lol

hi

oh LORD!!! You all suck, and I am NOT correcting your errors anymore... lol

I'm gonna pull the trigger on some excelon components from sonic.

Also, the battery(S3400) isn't pictured any differently besides the color ... The top post looks to be the same exact as the D3400 ... oh wait:

I know this is old information but anymore clarification? Is there any point to the S battery if I say end up using audio terminal bolts on it??? Is it actually better for starting? Take S3400 and D3400 .... What is the real difference??? I want a new starter battery and I have a stereo with MAX output of 1.5k .... I'm 99% sure they are exactly the same except that the S has the standard terminals for a starting battery, and the metal protective case. I would definitely use the S version under the hood. So I was looking to get a D3400 originally, should I just get the S3400 under the hood then?

nice to hear. or not nice to hear...

Battery resting voltages are : 12.76(front) and 12.72(rear) .... Is that okay???

Evening!!!

Hey!

Happy bday

Good luck. Sounds weird.

Okay, so I need some major help.. When I had installed the MechMan alternator I realized my ride home from the mechanic yieled insane voltage variance so I called MechMan and spoke to Eric... He told me I should upgrade the wire as soon as I can since it needs to carry more amperage than the stock ... I went home and did the positive post to the positive terminal on the battery and then I did the alternator casing to negative terminal on the battery... Then I went ahead and did the adjustment to the avbm again since I wanted to make sure everything was charging right.. I called Mechman and spoke with Matt who told me I could use a mount hole that was on the casing but to sand off the coating which I did... so wiring was all done, I install a 300a fuse and good to go... Now the issue is my voltage drops at idle to insane low numbers.... 12.6v and under... I called Mechman and they asked the resting voltage of my batteries and I couldn't give a definitive answer since I hadn't tested in a while... Matt stated that stock alternators have better voltage at idle rpm than the Mechmans since that is how they are manufactured.. and they kick in really at 700 rpm OK .... So I take it for what it is... On my way to work I was driving around and everything was great, voltage steady at 14.9-15.2v when above 1k on the dash... Once at a red light, my voltage began to drop to 12.2 and then 12.6 and then 12.0v ... I got worried and revved the engine to 1k to get the voltage back up .. at this point I turned off the music so I could see how that affected the voltage... At the next red light I experienced the same voltage drop to 12.0v then jump back to 12.6 .. Again once I get about 1k the voltage is steady at 14.9v ... I am assuming my car is idling under 600 maybe even 400 since I'm guessing by looking at the needle... What can I do to make sure it isn't the alternator? I think I need to charge the batteries overnight ??.. I have a HC1800 under the hood, and a HC800 in the trunk....

Nope, but I know the quality from HT usage...

Yeah bro, i was begging jacob to bring them neo's out and nothing. Then suck my dick asked for them and his bandwagon chimed in so now looks like they may just actually bring them out soon. Not sure if i should try them emineces out any way. Its not like im a money tree and i do have the worry that they may not work for me. I could post my build log link if u want to follow but chances are it will go down in jan. Who the F gave you a negative??? lol.... Anyway, the B&C are too expensive I assume??? Lol i have a mystery hater. To be honest i looked at them but the sixes were rated to only 120hz have you seen them any lower? yes, this here... : http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=294-647

crazy nice!!!

So they aren't loud??

Any updates on this OP?
