trent420 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 My Amps manual says not to use an isolator, but the installer said I should. Why wouldn't I use one? Is he right, or is the manual right?
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 Do you plan on running your stereo when your car is off until your battery in the trunk dies and want to be able to start your car? If yes: Isolator is needed If no: Installer is looking to make a quick buck or doesn't know what he's talking about.
trent420 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Posted August 2, 2013 Haha. OK. I'd like to be able to start my car. That tells me I should probably find a new installer.

SnowDrifter Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 95% of the time you do not need an isolator. Unless you are building a specific show car or application where the car will be off but still playing for long periods, an isolator is another expense, another part to break, and another source of resistance. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
