Wicks Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Ok remind me, differential is which, unbalanced? I emailed Crescendo and asked them and they told me Unbalanced. ...really? With those fancy RCA connectors, I would have bet they were differential... Differential = Balanced Single Ended = Unbalanced You can check by ohm'ing out the outside RCA conductor to the amp's ground terminal. ~0 ohms = unbalanced. Regardless, where are you mounting your 360.3? That has differential inputs and selectable outputs. What I'm getting at is that you could make use of differential inputs by using twisted pair cables (even though you make those sweet COAX cables). So you could run twisted pair to the 360.3 and then COAX to the amps. Unless you have no noise to be concerned with, then by all means just go with what you have. I just recent my learned that my 5K has differential inputs..............after I went and got some nice SMD COAX cables.... When I ran it a little while ago, I didn't notice much for noise though so I'm going to try it out as-is and see how it sounds. They look good, but not that fancy. $0.75 a piece. They're about the cheapest metal ones out there. My 360 is getting mounted in the trunk lid. That was what I was thinking about doing, but I'm either going bluetooth or optical from the tablet in the dash for input, so really it'll be the output that matters. I just want to learn more about it and how it works. I don't think I understand fully balanced vs unbalanced. I'm good with pictures and understanding, but when I read it, it just isn't sinking in. No no, I meant the fancy Crescendo RCA connectors on the amps... Your RCAs are still pretty sweet though Dude, an optical connection would be LEGIT. No noise worries at all. No balanced, unbalanced blah, blah, blah, only one cable. Bluetooth could be even better since its wireless, but I don't know if I would trust it that far away (trunk). I've had flaky Bluetooth connections before where just a few feet causes issues but who knows about the 360. A music source like an iPhone/iPad to your HU, sure, BT from there would be fine.

I've had flaky Bluetooth connections before where just a few feet causes issues but who knows about the 360. A music source like an iPhone/iPad to your HU, sure, BT from there would be fine. Yeah I agree. I'm pretty set on the optical for the tablet. I'm going to probably use the bluetooth feature for my phone. So I'll be using both really. I am a little concerned about the signal strength of the bluetooth, but at the same time, Steve has his up there and I don't think he has any issues and I'm pretty sure he uses his Ipad on the bluetooth feature in the Lex. I will send him a message though just in case I'm wrong. I was trying to find the email that Nendo sent saying that, but I can't seem to find it. So I'll have to go double check. So question for you, since I'm doing the optical and bluetooth, does that mean it doesn't really matter what i use from the 360 cause I can switch it? Or does it still matter because of how the amps are wired? Yeah this x100! Love the coax cables btw! I just want to learn more about it and how it works. I don't think I understand fully balanced vs unbalanced. I'm good with pictures and understanding, but when I read it, it just isn't sinking in. Thanks buddy. We'll see if we can't learn this together. I'm going to more reading on it. Jamie (wicks) gave me a site to read, so I'm going to do that and hopefully it'll make some more sense after that. I'm happy to share what I found out after that. In the meantime, I have pics of goodies. I'll post up in a second. BRB!

Kyblack76 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I apparently forgot to take pics of the goodies that I got this weekend, so I'll make sure to do that tonight and get those posted up. I didn't get much as far as pics from the Sky High trip this weekend. But I had to do a vs pic, with the Sky High Truck and my civic. Check em out! Peek A Boo!! Literally half way under the truck. Kyle and Laura were nice enough to think of me while at DC Audio this weekend, and gave me a lanyard from DC. Then Jon gave me a nice SHCA one. I don't usually have stuff on my rear view mirror, but i put those up there, and well, they just look at home there. So maybe they'll stay! Wasn't there for very long, well long enough to help with the new stuff that had just come in, and then did some running around and just bsing. But I'm sure I'll be up there real soon again. Big things going on up there. That was freaking awesome bro. Just wish we had more time. We must do it again soon. Also, Laura said, "shit, we should have gotten a pic with everyone!!!" DoH' .... We should have. Cant believe we didnt think of that. Great work, and take care bro....... It was a pleasure.

scooter99 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ok let's get started. I brought home some goodies from SHCA last weekend. Some I got before hand but most I got when I was there. Group shot! Kylar brought me some aluminum for buss bars, with a nice message on it! LMAO Mmmmmmmmm SHCA 1/0ga cable FTMFW!!! Grabbed a couple fans too. Haven't figured out exactly how I'm going to work with these, but they're better than the small ones I have. I have an idea, but I have to figure out if it's going to work or not. Some 8ga ring terminals and SHCA heatshrink, and yes those on the right say Remore Wire. Bad ass right!?! Second pair of XP950's. That gives me 4 now, and I'm done with those until I get installed and playing. I'll decide after that if I need more or not. Would only increase one more pair anyway, otherwise I have nowhere to put them! LOL Testing out of the box, 12.68v! and 12.71v!! But because i don't need them for a while, I thought I'd put them on the charger so that I can make sure they're topped off. I'll take this one off tomorrow morning, and then put the second one on and let it go tomorrow and tomorrow night.
