If you use computer fans from the early 2000s they are only 3 wires...red: battery +, yellow: switched ignition +, and black for ground. Use a basic 12v regulator knob on the red wire and voila fan speed control at the easiest Right on, TY 🙂 I was hoping it would be that easy. Of course for $13.99, if I couldn't control the speed, I could at least put in an on / off switch. And only turn it on when I was playing the system at moderate or high levels (which is 90% of the time I'm driving the truck 😀 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ran that md8000.1 in the heat hard at high tilt for over an hour or 2 with no problems? Because I’m about to order a ms12000.1 tomorrow and I’m curious about running them amps hard in the heat for over an hour or more. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes it no problem so far, not hot here tho and most I've ran my setup hard is 45minutes or so.i have enuff battery reserve tho I run it about 1/3 volume all day tho when we have a cook out, yesterday it ran about 5 hrs straight ( I charge my batteries evey Saturday night anyway since I don't drive many miles a week, like em topped off as frequently as possible.

So you haven’t had the amp long and haven’t ran it in hot weather before? “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the UP of Michigan, it doesn't get hot here, that's why I'm here! I've ran it a solid hour almost full tilt, hard to take it with volume up that long.

Cools off quickly in the evening too, so sleeping is easy Humidity is a WHOLE other thing ! On the other hand, Sacramento gets "colder" than I'd really prefer in the Winter.... mid 30's ! Are you ef'ing kidding me ? If I have to wear pants and a shirt, its just too freaking cold for me lol All things considered, we have pretty great weather here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1point21gigawatts Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 It always easier to warm yourself up than cool yourself off. So being in cold weather is more ideal than being in hot weather. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
