sopeonarope89 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 hello i have a in home audio setup that involves nothing but car audio and i have some questions since i can not figure it out . about amps ;;;;;;;;; question 1 amps . at the moment i am using a 500w monoblock alpine on a 15'' kicker and a 600 watt xplod 4 channel to power 2 8'' hifoics tritons 300w rms and 2 10'' jl audio 10w3v2 200w rmssubs and tweeters n soo on . the deck is a dual 50w 2 eq setup with subwoofer controls ii also have a 20 eq pre amp between everything to balance bass / voice is this an ok setup for a home setup ? about capacitors / chargers ;;;;;;;;;; my current power supplies are 2 computer power supplies one puts out 17@ and the other puts out 25@ and they run to a diode that has 2 inputs 1 output soo they dont cross feed into each other they click off without that diode between them ... and they put out a nasty buzz at times when im playing and the buzz ... not in radio interface noise u dont hear any distortion when the radio plays it comes from the power supplies them selves question 2 are capacitors needed since i dont use car alternators .. i was thinking about making a custom capacitor with over 10k farad basically ima buy a bunch of 2.7vdc 3000 farad capacitors is this ok ? since nothing is generating high amps for what i need ? question 3 power supply im not shure what can put out more then 100 amps without using a car battery charger that is noisy i found http://www.amazon.com/POWERMAX-PM3-100-CONVERTER-CHARGER-AUTOMATIC/dp/B008B13NIQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1389808889&sr=8-5&keywords=switching+power+supply+12v+80+amp but idk how this will work or if since it is a bettery charger will it be noisy ? and will it put out more then 12v since it is a car battery charger. about box configuration ;;;;;;;; question 4 box size my 15'' kicker single coil cvr 500w rms they dont sell this subwoofer no more but it can play the box it is in is roughly 37 inches tall 17 '' wide and deep . with a port it catches 15 hz and shakes my whole house and is tuned to 15 hz to 103 hz the jl audio10w3v2 subs use a box thats 12 tall 12 wide and 12 deep with a t line port and they catch the higher bass and and are tuned to 40 to 100hz the hifonics 8's are in a 12 by 12 by 12 box sealed with a 90hz bass blocker tuned to 93 hz to 20k hz what ever it catches and i have these television tweeters . nice little speakers they handle everything i throw at it this is alot to take in and might not make since but i tried my best to describe my question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin248 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 To clear things up you are asking about: 1. How to get rid of the powersupply buzz 2. If capacitors help 3. If getting a bigger psu will help 4. if the boxes and everything is tuned properly Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sopeonarope89 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 yes i dont like the power supply buzz and am asking if the one i linked is better and i know capacitors help im asking if the ones i might buy are better and im not a fan of a psu ... they only put out 12v flat . and i know my boxes are tuned right from how it sounds but wants opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin248 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 1. Yes a single powersuplly or better yet a pro/home audio amp 2. I wouldn't run a capacitor as there is no need if you have an ample psu as well as that is dangerous if done wrong 3. See number 1 4. If it sounds good then keep it. It is very hard to suggest what somebody should do because nobody else has experience in that room other than you. At that point play around with everything and see what sounds best to you because that is who is using it, nobody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
