Yes I also concur you can clip an amp in any situation doing a couple of things wrong. And I would invest some money in a voltage meter that you should wire up to your amp and put where you can see it all the time, when the voltage gets below 12.5, stop and let it recharge. I would also invest in a good battery charger and charge your rear battery you are going to add monthly or weekly depending on how much you play it loud.

alright now WTF

Why, man you guys like doing lots of work, just tap into the ignition at the hu, it is right where the remote is anyway. -
alright now WTF

LOL does the hu switch on and off with the key? If it does, the ignition works, run the remote to there and see what you get. But please use an inline fuse on the remote wire for this test!!!! -

The ignition on the hu work??? -

Easy fix then just run your remote to an ignition source fuck the HU. -
RMS Question
AMI CUSTOMS replied to Arsaces's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
Clean power, done right,,,,,what does that mean? It means, don't put a shit ton of bass boost on it, have the filters on the amp set right and DONT set the gain WRONG. That is how you do it right, plus many other things as well....LOL -
VCM question
AMI CUSTOMS replied to CJ18's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
You have to get a main harness that has the pigtail in it for the additional alts, more then one alt and then you just buy the extra harnesses for whatever amount of alts you have. Like with my quad setup, I needed one main harness and then 3 extra harness for each additional alt, the extra harnesses are like 20 bucks each I believe, I am not sure cuz xs power never send me a bill/invoice(I always have to ask for one), they just take money out of my account and then send me stuff....LOL -

If done right that sub can handle twice that power daily, you will be fine. -
That will get very loud with the right amount of power and I love my aq's and yes it is the picture in my avatar. I would start by building a base in the rear floor of the car, basically a deck out of 2x4's, get that level and then build up from there, and take your time on the trim(beauty panel) that is what will make or break a large part of you build, I have seen trucks that had that not sealed well and lose a few dbs, like 1 to 2 full dbs. So it is important.

If you are doing this to a daily driver that you need everyday, I would do it in steps that you can complete in a day at a time so you don't tie the vehicle up to where you can't drive it if needed. But it is better if you have a second vehicle cuz then you won't rush on it so much. I had two other car sittin in my driveway when I did mine on my 01 sierra and it took 3 weeks to complete it.

VCM question
AMI CUSTOMS replied to CJ18's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
And I believe XS will tell you it is an all or none setup. But you can get a main harness for multiple alts and then just get the additional plugs later for that multi harness later, they just daisy chain into each other with one wire, the "sense" wire. -
VCM question
AMI CUSTOMS replied to CJ18's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
If you are running off the just the regulator on the alt your voltage won't be too high. I have seen personally and heard of few people having issues with the VCM running multiple alts, I have seen in my own testing it controls two alts perfectly but three and four or more, it won't let the voltage come down. I have a few theory's but I will see what XS power has to say since they make the thing. -
How many 3400s
AMI CUSTOMS replied to CJ18's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Reserve capacity is very important in a daily pounder, that is how long the battery can sustain voltage for a given amount of time. The higher the reserve, the longer the batteries will be able to keep voltage up!!! So basically with 5 d3100 you would be way over your reserve requirement and still under your budget amount, and I believe 5 d3100 take up less space and weight when compared to the 8 3400's??? Just my view on it, I would have went with the 3100s -
How many 3400s
AMI CUSTOMS replied to CJ18's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
What is the reserve capacity difference between the 3400 and 3100, that is the number that matters in this whole equation? -
Voltage drop after upgrades
AMI CUSTOMS replied to Hostility's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
The alt is working harder to maintain all the batteries together, you need bigger alt not more batteries. There could also be something wrong with one or more of the batteries. That could pull the voltage down and keep it down if you have a bad cell.
