It's HOT! 11 Amplifiers Hooked up, Fused & Fired up on 17 Volts! SMD Chevy Tahoe

FINALLY it has a pulse! It fires up nice and the Mechman 400a Alternators turn great. NO slippage yet! I have a few more loose ends to do before i can really let this rip. As it stands, everything in the office just falls off the walls. I need to take it outside. But i have stuff to finish before i get to that. More than anything i am just happy to be able to start this thing every day and NOT have to keep it on a charger 24/7 anymore.
If you are wondering how i got these amplifiers to run on 17v when they usually shut down at 16, i actually stepped down the voltage JUST for the remote wires (the turn on's). The red step down modules (see previous video's) feed the small fuse block and that block runs small 12v items, some 17v items and also the remotes. Yes, that is correct. The amps THINK they are seeing 14.3 (when running) but they are actually getting the full 17. Everything works great so far.

    If you follow my instagram channel you know this video is a couple of days behind. It takes time to get the work done and even more time to film and edit. Especially when i am mostly by myself. I don't like interrupting my employee's to hold the camera. They are busy! If you are interested in daily updates as well as lots of live streams from the shop, give me a follow! instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching if you did!
