Slinky Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 It never fails, there are always people who just love to argue even when facts are shoved in their faces. The product works as advertised and provides a cleaner install with the added ease of being able to remove the input from the amp without dealing with strayed wires. He has shown there is no loss in power or voltage by using these adapters. End of story. I am most definitely on board with the other guys though on the topic of having a notch on it so it doesn't come loose. It would definitely help avoid a potential disaster.

CJ18 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 so lets simplify this a little... take out the amp, wire, batteries, ect... put a probe on each side of the 1/0 input.... if it reads negative ohm load.................. hehehehehhehhheehh http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11112/111125558/3203408-4738225055-draft.jpg I like your train of though.

While I do agree that a slot would help, I have never had one come loose in 5 years of using different ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Leads clamped together- 0.00 1 lead on bare wire, 1 lead on the lug- 0.00 1 lead on the input, 1 lead on the lug- 0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 While I do agree that a slot would help, I have never had one come loose in 5 years of using different ones. I never had one fail either as i take added precautions, but the probability is there. All it takes is 1 person who doesn't mount their amps, and the amp slides. Instant issue. And me being an installer, cant send a guy on his way with a possibility for his power wires to short out and cause a fire ( and lets face it, this happens a lot)! Sure it maybe from no fusing, or running 450 amp fuses on 1/0 wire which is ridiculous, it maybe from amp or battery terminals letting go. Bottom line: All are user error, and all these are preventible, just because it has not happened to you, doesn't mean it happened to someone else. My point wasn't to bash, just serious insight on an issue I see with the product, and seems several others see it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if the set screw can come loose and let the input come out of the amp, the same thing could happen with wire as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 All connections should be checked for tightness periodically no matter what. A nut on the power wire on your alt could come loose while you are driving down the road and arc all over the engine for that matter. Using that as an argument just for these inputs is too broad, because it applies over every single power/ground connection in your vehicle.

audiofanaticz Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 No, not as much, because the wire is being compressed, which is holding a lot of resistance on the screw itself as it is digging into the keeping it in. You can not tighten the screw down on the blocks with as much friction as the wire. put a piece of wire in the amp, and start tugging on it to rip it out, then do the same with the blocks see which comes out easier with more force might want to use a blown amp for this test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hold please. Its a short video, but I didnt feel like holding a 35lb amp in the air with my phone in the other hand for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Every single connection in my car gets checked at least once a month, even the remote wire LOL. Electrical fire is my biggest fear, I've had bad dreams about that shit. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
