QuickXr Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 I have read where it is advised to install a diode across the coil of the relay, terminals #85 and #86. Is there a particular rating requirement of the diode to be used? I'm not sure if a diode has different electrical values or not.
sully Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 where did you read about a diode? all that will do is restrict the flow of electricity in one direction. if this is a relay to install multiple amps on one remote turn on wire then all you need is a standard bosch spdt relay and use the remote wire as the + trigger 2003 Ford F-150 Reg Cab layin body on 26's 2003 Tahoe 3/5 drop on 26's with a 408cid Supercharged engine. 2011 Camaro 2SS 2005 VW GTI Stage II ECU, CAI, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, lowered 2" on some plastidipped 18's 2003 Hayabusa lowered, stretched, cams, nitrous and custom paint
99vic Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 um, i dont mean to thread jack but im running my sub amp and door amp off 1 one remote wire. is this not good? REST IN PARADISE BIG RICH (Sqmonte) never forgotten Why do you guys ALWAYS dispute on NUMBERS????? It's such a played out argument, so fucking annoying.... It's 12 fuckin 15's.... It's louder than you... Shut the fuck up... /Rant I'm so jealous, it makes me want to club baby seals.

ryde2idie Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i think its fine unless u have more then like 4 amps because then the cd player doesnt put out enough current to keep all the amps on. Quote
Siete_Cinqo Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 i think its fine unless u have more then like 4 amps because then the cd player doesnt put out enough current to keep all the amps on. the diode will restrict a current surge to come back to the remote turn on your h/u there for blowing out the turn on it if happens. So you place the diode on the relay to keep that from happening. if you dont use a relay and have to many amps/fans/lights turn on with the remote wire from the h/u, you will over work it and blow it out that way as well.

It was advised to use a diode, but never stated real clear as to what diode to use. Im not an electronics wizard, but are all diodes the same? I know the moron at Radio Shack will be of no help if i ask them.
