calvin_115 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 http://sonicelectronix.com/item_7013_Sony+XM-D9001GTR.html Sony XMD9001GTR Do you think that amplifier would take 17volts? I'm planning to use 3 psus but for now I have two as the other two shorted out. Some people told me I should series - parallel the -12v + 3.3v or 5v together to make 15.3v/17v the 3.3v gives out 28A and the 5v gives out 30A. So when I wire both psu's together, I'm hoping to get 15.3v - 56A / 17v - 60A. Lol please help.. I don't even fukin know how to series - parallel psu's together.

I don't thin you could series them. You did say you had more than one correct? You may be able to do it that way, just keep a fire Extinguisher Handy. 17V would probably blow the amp unless you could put enough load onto the PSU's to drop them down to 13-15v.

hotshot27 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 if it took 17v it may actually do half rated power before its trademark "explod". i highly doubt it will take 17 volts for very long Quote Current Setup: Factory HU with LOC mids/highs-Insignia components Sub- E8 in bass tube Amp- sae-1200d Show Setup: HU-Sony MEX-1HD (brings massive respect for sony) fronts - Infinity Kappa perfect comps rears- Infinity Kappa coax mid/high amp - Autotek 5600 Subs - 2 RE SE 15's Sub Amps - 2xSAE-1200D Box - 5cubes sealed Wire- Lots of Knu 1/0 SECOND SKIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is CEA-2006 Compliant. So if I do the 15.3v mod then it will probably drop down to 13~ so I'd be getting near 900 watts rms.

So if it idles at 17v, it'll just blow right?

Boon Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Go look at the amperage rating on your PSUs for the -12v. The Enermax in my hand right now is rated at 0.5A for the -12v rails, so even 3 of them in parallel is going to give you like 3A tops. That amplifier will pull maybe 60-70A at full draw. Your PSUs will just think there's a short and either go into 'protect' or let the magic smoke out. Get a small sealed AGM battery and a 5A battery charger. Just keep the charger on it all the time and watch the voltage, it should pound for a while before the voltage gets too low. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

I'll just leave it with 6 12v rails from 3 psus..104Amperes and hope there isn't a lot of voltage drop. Even if I drop to 11.2 volts, I'll still get around 744 watts rms.
