High Output Alternator Questions

did you measure both sides of the fuse during a LARGE load on the alternator or just at rest?

 

You need to make sure a lot of current is passing through it so it can generate resistance in the fuse\fuse block if any exists.

I did not do it while there was a load. I shall give that a try as well.

That would be a wise idea.

^{I do have a dmm and I checked the voltage coming off of the posative post of the alternator and it was running exactly the same as after the fuse. So thats not the problem. I was unable to get my battery checked this weekend due to work but Ive checked all my grounds and connections elsewhere and everything looks good and secure. So I've some to the conclusion that the battery can not handle the intial pull of a heavy bass hit but the alternator can help the battery keep up a long rolling bass note. I will save up and look into an Optima Yellow top for my BDay in August and hope that clears up all voltage drop I have. Thanks for all your help everybody!!}

Hard to read that lol but I recommend buying a group 31 optima if you do
