loburbon Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm running 4 sundown zv3 15's on 4 dd m2a's. I've got one sub output on my Kdc-x994, as of right now I'm using a Maxxlink. But it doesn't like 15+ volts. So my two options are two splitters then strap the amps. Or six splitters and one amp per sub.

Ninja_v1.0 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) so the maxxlink sucks because it dosent like 15+volts ? Did you check to see what type of voltage was rated for before you purchased it? Like saying a 1 ohm stable amp sucks because its not stable down to .35. go figure Edited March 18, 2012 by sensai_v3.6 Quote When your at the top everyone is coming for you, friends, family, haters and even those who don't know you.. my advice..

loburbon Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 My voltage wasn't supposed to go over 15v, but the alt I bought charges at 15.2v. So yes for my application it sucks. That's my opinion and I'm allowed to have it. But that wasn't the question that got asked. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading. i would say the alt sucks then since the alt you bought wasn't supposed to go over 15 and it goes over 15. What is the purpose of you using the maxxlink ? Maybe we can see if there is something else that can work in your application.

Ninja_v1.0 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 also if you are saying it sucks for your application then i would put that in the title because the reasons you have for saying the maxxlink sucks are really not valid. I just don't like someone to bash a product when really there is no reason to bash it.. especially when the product is functioning like its supposed to and not acting right based on another product that was purchased that is going over what was said it WOUDNT do..

loburbon Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I bought the alt from pstone on here, it was used. I bought it to use in a dual alt setup. But back to your question of why I bought the Maxxlink. As stated above I have a Kenwood kdc-x994 that had only one sub output. I'm running four sub amps. One per sub. After I put the alt on and noticed the problem I called maxsonics tech support, I explained to them the situation and they said a lot of big SPL guys are using them in 17volt systems. I unhooked the second alt that was charging over 15 and it worked fine, but once its connected again and the voltage goes back up the Maxxlink shuts down. After some research, I found that I'm not the only one that has had trouble with the Maxxlink at 15+ volts. Others have used them without failure. I bought the Maxxlink because I didn't want to use splitters. But in order to use the dual alt setup, something has to change. That's why I'm tossing around the ideas of 2 subs on 2 amps strapped, or just run the six splitters and keep it 1 amp per sub.

I will see if i can get a list of line drivers for you. Quote When your at the top everyone is coming for you, friends, family, haters and even those who don't know you.. my advice..

loburbon Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I could just leave it as is and order new alts from dc or mechman, but that would be a lot more expensive.

STEvil Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Is it the MLX-100? Put some diodes or a resistor on the power line. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
