On this channel we are going to be researching different aspects of car audio. I will be doing some testing on a little of this and a little of that. Hopefully we will learn a little along the way.
Floating a flannel jacket in the window American Bass XD 15s and Taramps HD 3000s
This time I float a flannel jacket in the window with these cheap American Bass XD-15s with a Taramps HD-3000 on each 15. The HD amps have been deemed the worst of the worst from Taramps. Oh well, they fit into the "Budget Pro" class for Bass Outlaws this year. I have a total of $1130.50 in the subs AND sub amps in this build specifically for the Budget Pro Wall class. If it works it works.

Ampere Audio AA 7500 1D amp dyno at 1 ohm
Переглядів 1044 години тому
One of my friends brought over this BIG BOY Ampere Audio AA-7500.1D amplifier to check out to see if it worked, so I decided to make a video clamping the power from this amp at a 1 ohm resistive load. Powering the amp is 2 banks of XS Power 2.7V 3000F super caps and a 100 amp power supply. It isn't every day you see an Ampere Audio amp much less an amp dyno on one! Let's see what it does at 40Hz.

In my 30 years in car audio or car repair in general, I have never seen this before. This is crazy how this happened. I forgot to post this here on my channel when I first did the video, but this is the 2nd video I did on Tyrell's Suburban with his alternator issues. It was at night so the shadow from my headlamp was getting in the way of seeing some things clearly. The alternator case was not ...

"Alternators only full field when you play your stereo"? Not hardly. The ones that truly believe this need to do more research. And here is some of the research done for you. I drained my LTO bank down to 14.0 volts and then turned my external regulator up to where the alternator would charge the battery up to around 15.2-15.4 volts......check out the video to see how much current this STOCK 16...
Tyrell's 2003 Suburban stock alt with 2 diodes added to sense wire
Переглядів 42919 годин тому
After correcting the bad ground issue on Tyrell's 03 Suburban we are at the next step in the process of getting his voltage to a level to make his 80aH Yinlong happy. Stock voltage was around 14.2 volts. With 2 diodes in place it should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 15.0-15.2 volts. Once his battery bank settles at the alternator voltage setpoint I think he will be happy with his voltage.

First things first.......I am NOT trying to step on any toes and I am NOT the one trying to sell you something. That being said...what role does the alternator play into car audio? Someone trying to sell you an alternator will tell you that it is the heart and soul of your car audio system. Me, on the other hand, will tell you the only job of the alternator is to replenish lost electricity back...

Bad SCiB cells or bad QNBBM balancer???
How did you correct this issue? Great video on an unusual issue. Thanks for the video
Very nice indeed
Great information indeed
I ordered the same package a month ago straight from Brazil what a deal
Wait bass knob. 😅. Great idea for a knob. Gotta rip my old cassette pioneer out and do up one like that. Love your build
Thank you. And yes the left knob is the bass knob, the right knob is the potentiometer for my blue box regulator. 🙂
Who designed the box? Been trying to modify my series tuned 6th for better bandwidth up top
I design and build everything for myself. Been into car audio since about 1991
@jeremywilliams8558 That's fucking amazing man. What modeling software would you recommend for me to model and simulate the response of a series tuned 6th in a vehicle?
I use WinISD Beta. However it will not automatically calculate the enclosure sizes and tuning. You just have to play with them until it looks like a decent graph for your needs.
dam thats wild, I have two rockford p2s on a power acoustik amp. Itss a vvery good budget set to get bass from. I want something like this lol. My dad and I are trying to upgrade
What was the cost on these?
$775.75 total after shipping and all discounts applied.
I've been trying to decide between a lithium battery setup (secondary) or a HO alternator and then this video pops up. Strange.
first thats sick
Thank you!
You're a MORON and Don't know Shit about Electronics !!!!!
Sweet... Is that some Ms I see 😊... I have a 44 I'm getting capped rn .. I'm gonna be running us amps 100hc on the sub . M44 on the mids/highs .. CRX with DD 9518 🤘
Nice man! Yeah I love me some old school M series PG! Those 3 are running 12-8” and 12-silk dome tweets in the doors. 4 ohm stereo each amp.
Can you do test after battery is charged & same voltage as alternator to prove to everyone it will still make 171 amps of current
It won’t make the same current. I have already made that video during some SPL testing where ainhad my battery up to around 15.2 volts. I clamped the current at the battery bank and it was right at 56 amperes of current going into the battery with just the vehicle running. And then I hit it with about a 10,000 watt burp and it only increased the current going into the battery by 10 amperes. That was really a test for how little the alternator works when the battery bank is properly sized for the amplifier output. And also like you said the battery voltage close to the alternator voltage setpoint. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the comment. Last night at work it got me to thinking about another video showing the entire charge cycle of my battery from 14.0 volts up to 15.3ish volts. Will be a rather long video but it will also show how the alternator works with the voltage set point higher than the battery bank and then it will show how the alternator naturally reacts to the battery bank as the battery bank voltage starts to increase and gets closer to the alternator voltage set point.
It's the way it seemed like you were upset that alternator wasn't giving it's full amperage entire time. They surprised me I've seen your other videos you seem to know what your doing
Thank you. This guy rarely comes over to my house and it was a very weird situation he had going on. I think I forgot to post the video where his alternator case wasn’t making a good ground with the alternator bracket. It wasn’t a great video because it was at night and couldn’t really see what was happening too well. But where the alternator case comes directly into contact with the alternator bracket it wasn’t making a good electrical connection which was causing most of his issues. But back to this video I didn’t capture the amperage when we first started up the truck. I was just too concerned with did we get the issues fixed. So the alternator charged his 80aH Yinlong pretty quickly sonthe amperage natural went down as the voltage of the battery bank went up. So yeah I was kind of disappointed I missed that opportunity to show it in full. And like I said the guy very rarely comes over to my house.
Still watching your content...Thanks for it.
Honored to be the fist one to comment....as before, Good Job.
Hey, just saw your vid's on the Basshead Meters....Good Job & Thanks for the content.
Thanks for watching. I am in the process of acquiring a BassHead Garage Watt Meter VERSION 1 so I can do a side-by-side comparison of the v1 versus the v2 versions so everyone can see what they look like and see the differences between the two. I didn't even know they made 2 versions already but luckily the two I have currently are both the updated version 2 which are pretty accurate as far as I am concerned.
Now instead of getting alt firs I'm going to get battery power first lol
More videos to come to support this idea!
You didn’t even put the system under load I’m not sure your demonstration proved anything. At rate yeah a lithium bank is going be able to discharge more energy than alternator can provide in a given timeframe. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t need charged though. What😢
Did you watch the video?
I also watched the video from beginning to end i didn't see any load put on alternator @jeremywilliams8558
Its Its not under load. The stronger your amplifier the more amperage It will draw and if your alternator can't hold up your vehicle will die.
You ALMOST got it correct. You are correct in saying the alternator is NOT under load in this scenario. But you are not seeing the big picture which is NOT shown in this video, but will be coming in future videos. Stay tuned.
awesome
Thanks
Of course you don't know the MR Meter power supply meter is reading correct. All you know is, you don't know what the output voltage of your Power Supply is. I had a HP RF Voltmeter, it great, until I got a second one, then I had no clue which was closest to correct.
That is absolutely correct and the whole point of this video. 👍
Beautiful Phoenix setup Jeremy
Thank you!
Hey Jeremy, thanks for the video.....I see you have 2 balancers, at what point do you decide to use a 2nd one or is it just how the config on that style bank you have?
On a different battery bank (200aH Yinlong) I was using a single 5 amp Heltec balancer. The cells would consistently be around 25mV within balance. I added a 2nd balancer to that bank and it kept it in balance within 5mV. When I first built this 160aH SCiB bank I used the QNBBM balancer because I already had it laying around and it was rated for 10 amps. Once I determined the QNBBM balancer was faulty, I just decided to go with the 2 Heltecs based on the scenario I had with the 200aH Yinlong bank.
mine reads lower wattage than what the amp puts out. i used my amp clamp and my volt meter to compare.
I bought a 2nd BHG-WM and I am planning on doing a comparison video between the two units along with a DMM and AC clamp. I was not aware of this but apparently they have a v1 and a v2 watt meter? Another commenter stated the v1 was not very accurate. He also said I had a v2 watt meter. Again I was not aware of that when I purchased mine. Regardless of that I will be doing that comparison video when I get everything set up and can provide a good comparison between them all. I am also going to be purchasing an SMD AMM-1 in the future and do that comparison as well. Thanks for watching and thanks for the input!
good vid
Thanks for watching!
I got that little wattage monitor thing and I'm loving it
Me too. I have seen some test video comparing it to other devices. I am going to do some of my own testing with it against the Termlab and also against the SMD AMM-1 when I get the time and resources.
@@jeremywilliams8558 I seen them too hifivector and Parker. It was pretty close
@@jeremywilliams8558the v1 is incredibly inaccurate & I’m being shipped a v2 to test. You can see my comparisons on my channel, great test on this Orion hopefully the v2 is more accurate then the v1 of the bhg. Subscribed to watch more 🎉
I am not sure which versions I have. I actually bought the last one that Big Jeff had on Ebay so I could have one to test in vehicle to compare with the Termlab clamp. Thanks for the info!
@@jeremywilliams8558 You have the V2 I can tell by the sensor in the video. 👍
Nice mine can hold for over 8 mins
