On my 99 with 130k when idling if I turn on my X2 100w kc's and key my 12amp draw ham rig my factory volt meter dose dip a little bit. No headlight dim though. It dose not come back up unless I rev it up to 3k or un-key the mic. I don't "think" it used to do this. With switching on the kc's it goes down but but then comes back up to normal. What is an acceptable amount of voltage drop in this situation? And for low rpm sub-2k situations? (want to check it with my multimeter) Do note that my optima has been in there scene 06.
When idling with nothing extra turned on she reads 13.94v. My brother's 2k xj with new a new alt reads 14.04v. Ant input would be appreciated. I just don't want to be replacing the dammed thing in the middle of winter.
