  8. Multi Battery Fusing?

    No joke on the $. That always puts a kink in my plans too. If it didn't, I and everyone else here would have Steve's Tahoe or the Hoopty goin' on!

    kkiiaann33 has experience with running those amps, so I would def. go with more batts if you can swing it. It may cost more now, but it would really bring on the suck if you burned up that Sundown due to low pwr!

    You might want to put another one in front of your back battery.... You have the front battery fused if you have a short on your power wire, but the back battery won't have a fuse between it and the fuse on your front battery. If the short is inbetween the out of the front fuse and the back battery, you will have a problem.

    If I'm not mistaken, strictly speaking you are supposed to have a fuse no further than 18" from your battery.

    Some may say that is overkill, but that is how I would do it.... or use a relay or perhaps an isolator where it only is hot to your back batteries when your stereo is on... That is my plan (and fuses) when I do multiple batteries.

    Goodness! :blink:

    So, how 'bout those McIntosh speakers, bumonskateboard6? I like mine- sound great, no issues, very clean, not harsh at all as far as tweeters go. I am very pleased because they don't sound like the super bright cracking tweeters most people run with and are used to- the McIntosh tweets sound realistic.

    Anyone else have McIntosh speakers they would like to share their experience with?

    That would make sense why the Government purchased butt loads of stock (read INTEREST or OWNERSHIP) in the banks with the 700 Billion $ bail out. They now own interest or stock or moneys or DEBT that people owe the banks!

    Me: "Well, I have no dollars- I can't pay the bank what I owe them...."

    Bank: "Well sir, we are now owned by the US government and if you don't pay us, we will take everything you have including your house- that we (the government) have the loan to"

    Me: "crap."

    You can hear induced noises with any speakers, including a $6 radioshack speaker I have sitting in my closet, if the issue is in the amp. However I do agree better amps are more reliable and are least likely to fail in the run. I suggest getting an amp that is highly regulated like the JL Audio amps, my personal choice would be the new HD amps. They have a small foot print, puts out power from 11v-14.5v, and gives the power out in fullrange. Why regulated? Regulated is better even though the current demand my go up. I rather have the current demand go up when the voltage drops than to have my music go quieter when the car is off. When JL releases an 5 channel amp that has a bit more power for my needs I will be upgrading my amp myself.

    Very true.

    I have McIntosh tweets and love them. They are Silk domes that play cleaner than anything I have ever had. Not harsh at all. I highly recommend them. Just know that speakers that good need a really good amp.... if your amp (or anything else for that matter) isn't up to par, you will notice it. That is the problem with that stuff.... it feeds on itself! lolz
