pinoytat93 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 You think that this setup could work on a 98 dodge ram? It has a external regulator and was wondering what wire to tap into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should but you will have to find the wire, I have no idea. lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansmth777 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Found some , like on ebay that are 6 amp 1000v. Look like this; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SSBlazer Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Here is what I used. I Used 2 and on COLD starts the voltage is ~16.0 Volts but drops quickly to ~ 15.2 Warm. Its also still ~33 degrees here in Mi lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SSBlazer Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Found some , like on ebay that are 6 amp 1000v. Look like this; Those look VERY similar to what I used. I also found in my research that most people use 10A diodes, I didn't have them so I used the next largest. lower tuning is just hard.

ryansmth777 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Sweet, yeah the part number on the ones i was looking at where -6A10, but dont know what the "L" is on yours but i think they are the same, 6A10 6 Amp 1000V Rectifier Diode. They look identical with the exception of the "L". Im fairly sure they are the same . They have some 10 amp ones for sale also, but im not sure i want to go much over the 15.2 warm on an otherwise stock electrical system except for big 3 upgrade with 2 Gauge and a new 130 amp alt.

ryansmth777 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I am afraid that 16 volts+ constant would reek havoc on my electrical if i used two 10 amp diodes, the two 6 amps should be perfect, this may sound stupid but how did you make it ? Did you just solder the two diodes together end to end and wire that in ?? Thanks Unfortunately XS doesnt make the VCM to fit my Ford so ive been looking into making one myself for some time now. Just didnt know anyone that had actually done it and tested it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKYOU007 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I run an MLA which does the same thing thats being done here. On cold mornings, in the 30s, my truck will be at 16.4 then around 15.7 when its warm and I have no issues yet. Been running that MLA for at least 2 years now. OP I would like to see picks of your install Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home.
