Why dont i have enough power?

Question

i have 4 solobaric 15s 2 audiobahn 2200hct amps 3 one farad caps 1 xstatic 400 batcap a yellow top bat. my truck bat. and a oversized alternator and after about 45 sec. of play at 50% i start losing unless i tach it to around 2700,do i need more batteries or caps?

Answer 1

if its holding up at 2,700 rpm

the problem is more then likely the alt not putting out a sufficient charge at idle

The next move should be

getting a smaller pulley for the alt

is this in a gm?

Answer 2

You need a high output alternator.  Have it checked.  You probably need to get rid of several of your caps/batteries.  They cause a draw on your electrical system.  Get rid of your regular battery and put your yellow top in there.  Get rid if the batcap and caps and see how it all works then.  What gauge wires are you running?  Did you do a big three upgrade?  Did adjust your gains with a dmm and a clamp?  Since you're running multiple speakers within the same frequency range off different amps, it's very important their gains are exactly matched.

Answer 3

is the alternator high output like around 250 amps and if it is you might wanna get a second alternator and get kinetik batterys they are much more powerfull then yellowtop and your almost always gonna lose some power but a high output alternator is gonna be your best bet
