NST Pulley Set Alternator Issue

So do I, and I've never had any questions asked about it. As long as they aren't MASSIVE 1000+ Watt amps each.

If you have the tunes pumping as you drive with the fan going, the lights on, it's totally normal for the voltage to fluctuate. That why you normally need a big capacitor hooked in parallel with the amp wiring. It reduces voltage fluctuation.

I just have a feeling they'll blame the amps and HIDs, whether they're what's really causing the problem or not. Maybe I can disconnect them and hide the wires, so they can't take the easy way out and use them as the cause.

I'm seeing the fluctuations with and without the load, which is what's bugging me. If it was only happening with everything turned on, I wouldn't be concerned at all.

I would definitely look into this if the fluctuation was only happening with the amps on. It's frustrating that it's happening all the time.
