    So if added to a system with say. 4K watt amp . With stock alt what does it prove ? If the amps rated 4K at 14.4v and drops down to 12volts typically the amp will put out less power ? So in turn seems if you were to run say a 6k watt amp then it drops voltage it would allow to get closer to 4K counting for voltage drop stock alt ? Seems the batter test would be better tested in daily regular use situation to see the true benefits. Also running on let’s say music how long does that voltage hold .seems you would want an amp rated at 12v vs 14

    • @LivinLoudwithAndy
      @LivinLoudwithAndy  Месяц назад

      Efficiency of an amplifier actually drops when the voltage is not ideal
      So when producing power only at 12v it may still be pulling the same amount (or more) current than it does at 14v
      And at the same time making more usable power!
      I’ve done a video on a “real world” set up but the problem lies in - each vehicle will be different
      Link here ruclips.net/video/WX3p3bdbh4Y/видео.htmlsi=sFI4eVZJWRZFIV-n
      To break things down some
      Your alt does 99% of the work up to the point you reach its limit (let’s say 100 amps)
      THEN and only then will you be drawing power from the battery
      So 14v X 100a 1,400watts roughly
      (Best case)
      The standalone test I did showed under extreme load the battery would start to dip to a certain voltage
      That voltage will continue to drop as the capacity depletes
      Very hard to test that with current equipment
      The test I did was in a sense a dynamic number
      Inflated to some sure but when compared to other batteries it will stack up properly 👊🏼
      Just like SPL tests or even 5 minute thermal tests
      There’s always more to discover 👍🏼

      No offense but you don’t want to stress your amplifier purposefully

      Car off
      That’s pulling 100a or so constantly for 1400w at 14.4
      As the voltage drops - current would need to increase to keep that wattage at lower voltage
      Let’s say that doesn’t happen - pause physics for a sec ..
      That 1400w or 100a draw would deplete that battery in 24 minutes…

    My jp640 does fine.. except the voltage regulator on the wagoneer. Then 1 of my Solo X 12's stopped playing and kicker would not warranty the thing when clearly something went wrong inside. No clipping no coil damage running on a 3.6 Warhorse. You what screw kicker. Didn't even try to investigate the issue like it is impossible to mechanically fail. Bs sorry to rant but screw that.. that is BS

      It sounds like you give up too easy. Do you know what failed and did you show the people at kicker what happened?

      When it stoped playing and the coil was fine - what was it still doing exactly?
      We’re the leads burnt ?
      Those are easily serviceable having the drop in recones - I run mine a lot on the warhorse and it holds strong but even myself need to take note how hot that coil is getting
      Let me know exactly what it is doing - I’ll see what I can help with

      @@Marcus_1215 I feel most products should work as intended- most warranty claims are user error
      But quality control is a factor people never factor in on price

    All in an unusable voltage range. Anything below 12.8v is too low

      Not at all. The point of this battery is to easily integrate it into a stock electrical system. If this battery doesn't fit your needs you need to switch to a different chemistry and a different battery. Simple as that.

      @JasonWW2000 below 12.8v, you're putting unnecessary strain on the amps internals. Sundown salt, Orion hcca, and dd m series are fine at low voltage, but most amps aren't as overbuilt.
      And yes, I do use a different chemistry. I run 80ah of lto on my truck off a factory 105amp alt. I don't drop below 15.4v charging at 15.5v with 3kw of power. The only reason I did 80ah over 40ah is that 40ah didn't like repeatedly turning over my diesel motor, such as in the event that I ran out of diesel and needed to reprime. But that's to be expected the truck pulls over 400amps just to turn the starter motor

      ​@kylevanwinkle2081 Just keep in mind that different people have different needs. Not everybody is the same as you.
      Converting a vehicle to run at a much higher voltage is something that not everyone wants to do. Some vehicles are simply not capable of handling the higher voltage.
      Also, not all audio equipment can handle a higher voltage.
      So it's great that we have so many different battery options on the market. 👍

    • @kylevanwinkle2081
      @kylevanwinkle2081 Месяц назад

      @JasonWW2000 regardless there is no audio gear made to work at 12v all the time the heat will kill them. Whatever amperage that battery can sustain at 13.5v is that batteries real capacity. Hell drop that to 13v if you want but below 13v is hard on power supplies.
      Idk what formula or load that is being put on this meter to get his numbers but we all know that the lower the voltage the higher the amperage requirement. This means fuses and wire sizes have to increase to handle the increased amperage. That means that the amps have to handle more current and dissipate more heat.
      Sure this product might work for some but advocating pushing these things to 12v and lower is like advocating to never change your engine oil. Short term there might be no effect but it's going to wear things out and end up in failure
