new alternator and "big 3" upgrade results
WOW!!!
what a difference adding the alternator (200 amp from 105amp) and upgrading the "big 3"
Ray at FX Audio was excited when he found out the alt was from Loud Brown Kicker Colt .
He didn't actualy change the factory wires as they were already 4awg but did add another ground wire and move the power wire for the stereo from a top post on the battery to the side post for a better connection. He also had to trim away some plastic on the cover for the engine as the new alt interfered with it.
Now I can't get the voltage below 14v when the stereo is cranked, seems louder as well.
Can haveing this high powered alt damage any other components?

14 volts is normal , everything id protected by fuses fuseable links or circuit breakers . what battery do you have ? or battery's how many cca . i doubt it will wreck anything . but i could be wrong .
congrats on having 200 amps in one alt how much did it cost you ?

from what I understand, I can't overpower stuff with the new alt just because its rated for 200, it only puts out whats needed, this correct?
