ISO Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) I just got a Phoenix Gold TLD22 line driver. They recommend mounting it as close to the head unit as possibble. In my truck that might not be feasable. Whats the conciquences of mounting it at the amp I want to use it with? The length of the RCAs are 9 feet to the amp I want to use it with. Also there is no way to mount this thing unless I pull out the circuit board and drill holes in the bottom of the casing.(No mounting feet)WEIRD.LOL opinions please And I think it might be to heavy for velcro. unless I can mount it just rite.

audiofanaticz Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Id just get some 3M double sided sticky tape and use that to stick it up someplace. Otherwise if your stashing it in your dash someplace, zip tie it to something. I dont know if the Phoenix Golds are totally different, but Im guessing it does not have adjustable voltage for the output on it, that is maybe why its said to be used as close to the radio as possible because by the time the voltage is passed through the rca cords it will be a little weaker in signal strenth, where as if it was used close to your amp. That is just my guess since I couldnt find to much info on it, but I didnt see anything about it having adjustable voltage. My old audiocontrol line drive that I was messing with got mounted right by my amp, and connected with a 1 foot rca cable, but then again i was able to adjust the output voltage on it. Quote
ISO Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 It is adjustable up to 8 volts I only need 6 volts. The sensitivity controls are under the cover. Rite now I've fot 1 volt on an amp that can handle 6 volts RMS. Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

ISO Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 but if thats what the instructions say, you should probolly do it for best results (Fabrication)Yep I guess thats why we do car audio ya need to beable to fabricate or find a new hobby.LOL Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

audiofanaticz Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 no no no!! no finding a new hobby.... This hobby makes me go broke and puts a smile on my face doing so :mad: Quote
dmanson Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 yeh the audiocontol overdrive's manual says it's suppose to be mounted near the HU also. just run a 3 ft cable from the HU to line driver and RCA's from the line driver to amp(s) Quote 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative.

I have no idea what happened to my manual :mad: The only other reason I can see for this is because you will have the cleanest and strongest voltage the closer you are to the headunit. Quote
