basshead4life Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Just hook it to a battery with a decent battery charger. done it a bunch of times Quote Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashdollar2009 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 i heard something about computer amps?? i don't know or it works but then you dont have the problem of a battery that needs to be charged. What you are hearing about are the pcu power units... well, they work okay i suppose... low low amperage, plus quite pricy in the end. I wired a 15" in a sealed box into my dorm room this year. I had a sealed marine 12V sitting in the garage unused. What you need to do is just wire the amplifier to the battery like normal, (fused), and put the battery onto a trickle/quick charger. I've had "0" problems in the past 3 months, other than the occasional complaints here and there, but it's mainly a weekend toy. Shakes everything in the room, i put it in my closet and it somehow works somewhat like a bandpass?! Quote On 6/30/2011 at 1:11 AM, 'Ray' said: Acoustical energy is free. Electrical energy is not.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Or you can use a Plate Amp, or the SoundDigital FT120, in which you can run a 1000rms amp straight off it with no problems, and it doubles as a charger.

Hydrogen goes boom if concentrated enough when introduced to an ignition source. Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............
