JGrady Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 When I had my system installed by a shop they said I needed a battery isolator. My question is "What exactly does it do and why would I need one?". The description of my system should be in my signature area, but any other questions come up i'll be willing to answer. I just want to know if I can do away with it because they wanted to sell me more stuff or if it's really a beneficial component to have. 2007 Ford Expy 1x 12w7 1x Slash 1000 v2 1x mephis 4 channel Hertz ECX 570 Hertz ESK 570 Pioneer P4200DVD ----------------------- Future Upgrades: 2x 18" FI Audio SP4(Walled) dc 3.5k dc 175.4 2 sets of HAT Clarus C61-2 leaning on Hertz though Multiple XS D3100 batteries 2x mechman alternators Big 3 upgrade HID 6000k headlights
skittlesRgood Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 its just a beefy relay. nothing more. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

sprkn_ranger Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I'm on my mobile, so I can't see your sig, but I don't see why you would need one for an audio install. Unless your gonna be running higher voltage for the audio, but I'm not sure how that all works so...

JGrady Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Posted March 30, 2011 Thats what I thought. After viewing a lot of builds on here, reading, and never hearing anyone having one I started thinking they wanted to get an extra 90 bucks out of me. Especially when I had a stock electrical and only pushing 1000 watts. I'm pissed I didn't know this 8 months ago because I would not have bought into what they were trying to sell me. 2007 Ford Expy 1x 12w7 1x Slash 1000 v2 1x mephis 4 channel Hertz ECX 570 Hertz ESK 570 Pioneer P4200DVD ----------------------- Future Upgrades: 2x 18" FI Audio SP4(Walled) dc 3.5k dc 175.4 2 sets of HAT Clarus C61-2 leaning on Hertz though Multiple XS D3100 batteries 2x mechman alternators Big 3 upgrade HID 6000k headlights

Unless your gonna be running higher voltage for the audio, but I'm not sure how that all works so... I have a 1000 watt jl audio slash pushing a dub 7, for now. So, i'm getting 1000 watts at the max if my electrical is up to par which I doubt it. 2007 Ford Expy 1x 12w7 1x Slash 1000 v2 1x mephis 4 channel Hertz ECX 570 Hertz ESK 570 Pioneer P4200DVD ----------------------- Future Upgrades: 2x 18" FI Audio SP4(Walled) dc 3.5k dc 175.4 2 sets of HAT Clarus C61-2 leaning on Hertz though Multiple XS D3100 batteries 2x mechman alternators Big 3 upgrade HID 6000k headlights
