dual inputs

[03 Xtreme Fosgate]

I'm tuned in for these for sure

[Kyblack76]

I think its just like everything else. Just one more thinf that could or could not help

Your are not far off at all.

I was doing mine, and i sent a pic to a "big brain". And he said. "you know, you wont see anything from those with your set up?"

I said, "huh?"

"Duals, are made for 2 power supplies, thats why they were even made".

Soooooo, if i DOUBLE my battery bank. From the 3 to six. Then, i can pull a run off a PAIR of bats, into ONE dual. And so on, and so one. Make sense?

It does to me. So, running 4 lines off of 1, or 2 batteries, in to a dual, wont, OR SHOULDNT do shit. Seperate supplies, and it will "help"

But if you have your batteries in parallel, how does it make a difference where your wire is ran from?

Sorry, just isn't clicking in my brain.

If you were to have three batteries then add 3 more, you would just be adding three more batteries and making the single power supply bigger.

No, your on it.....

The bigger builds... like 20 batteries, have 10 on one "line"

10 on the other.....They dont do ONE BIG BANK...

And where duals would be primo.

[AMI CUSTOMS]

If the banks are in parallel then it makes no difference, 4 banks of 4 batts per bank, if all are in parallel, they all act like one GIANT bank of 16 when a load is connected.

[AMI CUSTOMS]

It comes down to current consumption into the ampilifer. For every run of wire to the amp you drop in the wire input resistence, the lower that is the faster the current will get to the amp with less voltage drop.

Same practice the db drag guys do with 12 runs of wire off 1 battery and see gain with each run of wire added.

This is what I was thinking.

[justin0943]

the dual input it helps the electrical of the car and keep the amp cooler but idk about gain.

[matt14]

I have wondered about dual inputs as well. The thing that I see that would not be good is that when you insert the hardened aluminum terminal in the amp and screw it down, it will only make contact on the bottom and the top of the terminal since it cannot be perfect size or it would not fit. If you were to use wire, then when you tighten the screw on the input it will compress the wires to make a nice contact on the majority of the input spreading the cable throughout the hole.

[skittlesRgood]

Matt said exactly what my concern is about any solid metal into a terminal. plus the inside of the terminal on the amp is usually pretty bumpy so you get even less contact with a slug in there.

but just look at the math. if you have a 3' power wire on a 5k... a dual input wont do shit. but if you have a 6'+ power wire to the 5k... well then maybe. you have to exceed the capacity of the wire to some extent before adding another wire will do anything.

someone mentioned that ray gained with dual inputs. well when i look at his trunk it looks like he has some pretty long ass cable runs. all that extra resistance adds up.

a pure copper terminal wont do anything either. im pulling this out of my ass but the difference would be a delta of something ridiculous like .0001ohm.

dual inputs dont help the power supply of the car lol. they don't make your alt produce more or your batteries have a lower internal resistance.

two power supplies... this really doesn't make any sense to me. it's all wired in parallel so it's just a matter of how strong your power supply is. I would, however, definitely bolt each wire to a different battery just to limit resistance in the connection.
