FEATURED Hyundai Cilantro.. I mean Elantra!

The cable for the alternator is cut to length and terminated at both ends with 0awg 5/16th copper terminals. They are crimped very well and sealed with 3:1 heat shrink with adhesive. The cable will be sleeved with high temp black flex loom.

I got my 200+ amp alternator in the mail today. I am installing it this weekend. I prepped the car for the added juice though and installed all the cables and new terminals!!

I got the alternator installed. Still dropping to 12.5v in drive with the air on. I bet my IAC is shot so I ordered a new one of those too.

I took the car on a test drive where I could really open up the stereo. Bass knob on max, radio on max and I tossed on some Bass Mechanik while driving (2,000 rpm) and the lowest voltage I saw was 13.3v. I was beating those subs as much as I could with all the power I have and 13.3v was as low as it would drop. The second "battery", the Ioxus barely came down 10% of its capacity so the alternator is handling the AGM up front and the Ioxus out back while full tilt on the bass.

This means I can move forward with my plan of a larger sub amp and a 6 channel solution for the active front stage... or the JP7.
