  1. Sounds like UPS!!! My driver is the shit though! The guy I have had deliver for me here ever since I moved in knows the flow of things... An he leaves the stuff in the closet on the porch and puts the key back where it is... In residential area's there policy is different, so require the signature! or run the risk of losing it on the back porch, front,side door, neighbor..who or wherever they feel is safe is basically where it's left at.

  2. The alarm situation is pretty easy to address..whoever installed your alarm didn't wire up the 3 ignition harness wires right because It's not kicking the alternator on now. Something that'll solve the problem is switching the remote wire on the vcm to a wire that shows 12+ when the ignition is on.

    I've seen a few situaitons where the radio's don't turn on by default with DEI alarms on older vehicles an you have to actually turn the ingition switch into the ON position beforeit actually turn the radio on.

    The other question I can't really answer for you

    I wish you the best of luck though

  3. I have a kit but one problem... Some of those trucks dont have the same rear bracket to hold the alts properly. You may need to make a rear bracket to stabilize them. Im working on something else for that year truck with more alts..

    Ill send a PM with details.

    Let me in on what you come up with... I have the same engine he's inquiring about... I pm'ed you a bit around November of last year.... Interested in purchasing something for 3-4 units myself.. Let me know what you come up with and what style casing it requires.

  4. EDIT: Never mind, I can't be bothered arguing with a simpleton who doesn't know the meaning of 'ethical'

    You changing your post doesn't stop me from seeing what was originally sent to my email.

    Anyway, to stay on topic. It's not something I'd do personally to the OP, my 7 years of pc related experience and being shocked 290324392482984202084 times from trying various things with older power supplies and even some newer modular styles as well just to test certain stuff says it wouldn't be logical for 1000+ watts of power and such large demand for amperage. If you plan on hacking wires re-soldering and doing it the correct way. I'd say go for it, the original post was kind of vague to begin with though. I wouldn't have peace of mind leaving it on for longer periods of time or having the assurance that my equipment would be completely safe though.

  5. You fail to read the fact in the OP that he clearly stated he wanted to run a 1000 watt mono block amplifier off of car stereo equipment in his bedroom.

    Go for it.. Install it, I wish you the best of luck

    Edit:

    1. pertaining to or dealing with morals or the principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong in conduct.

    2. being in accordance with the rules or standards for right conduct or practice esp. the standards of a profession: It was not considered ethical for physicians to advertise.

    3. (of drugs) sold only upon medical prescription.

    Websters translation for ethical

    It being used in that context is completely fine. If English is your primary language then you should know that each word has quite a few different meanings depending on how you choose to use it.

  6. Are you tripping? PCP&C has one with over 100A @ 12v...

    You must have missed my point somewhere in there... Is it safe? No! 100amps isn't much for a power supply that's 83% efficient @ 12.5 volts at most. Will your cars amplifiers pull more amps at lower voltages.. yes! what size wires are you working with <16 gauge! will the power supply be able to keep up with demand for music... NO! Is it likely to go up in smoke... YES!. It's not a very ethical long term investment in my opinion... You might as well be plugging your amplifier directly to a wall socket to see if it works that way.

  7. Computer power supplies don't put out too much amperage on the 12v rails... An all of your voltage ratings would be @ around 11.5-12v. If you exceed your maximum amperage output... Most power supplies will blow up or either go into protect and shut the unit off. I just use one for testing.. I don't go to the extreme of using it on a daily basis an actually playing music off of it for extended amounts of time.

  8. Banks can dispute charges for you too... Could take up to 90 days though.. Which is a biznitch. Sorry it happened to you, I can relate.

    I bought some amps from an online retailer VM Innovations that were suppose to be new.. Ended up being refurbished and both didn't work... Wouldn't refund for full amount.. took 4 weeks for the claim.. they never got their merchandise or sent UPS around.. I got them fixed under warranty... An ended up selling them...

    Some companies attempt to screw you over and state outrageous policies and stuff. I wouldn't worry about it, any *GOOD* bank will have your back regardless.

  9. PLus what is the norm for a resting batt that has sit 7hrs or so in a vehicle?

    Depends on the battery and how well it's charged. Most rest in between 12.3 - 13. Sounds to me like you are just dipping at idle, which means your battery reserve is supplying some of the current needed for your system. Not really a big deal unless you plan on demoing for 12-15 hours straight non stop.. I wouldn't be too concerned about it unless you plan on beating for quite a while. Your batteries will weaken some though.
