lantusx Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) I got this pretty old mtx amp from a freind and its a 2 channel....on the back it says 280 watts dynamic power (ihf-202) bridged into 4ohms (14.4vdc)................. wtf does that mean???? it means if you wire your subs to 4 ohms and bridge the amp (positive end of the wire on the far left negative on the far right) and feed the amp the right amount of voltage (14.4) it will put out 280w rms (never ever go by somethings "maxx" wattage its just a selling scheme) just an example but i dont know if your amp can handle 2.6 ohms bridged :x Edited July 11, 2007 by lantusx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboobs Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 (never ever go by somethings "maxx" wattage its just a selling scheme) ya man ive just figured that out this weekend...but how am i supposed to get it that (14.4)???? and i know what bridge is now..

BigOso Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Absolutely nothing. Please disregard the post above you. The internal regulater on your alternator should be set somewhere in the 14-14.4 volt range.

lantusx Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 a capacitor stores energy and releases it upon a drop in energy (when your subs hit), but it isnt good for your electrical system. but yeah, a cap wont do you much of anything most of the time. a nice battery would be better than a cap anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboobs Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 but if i just went out and bought another batt... how long would it usually take to run out ,and would i hook it up to my altinator or just charge it when its out??

bassINyoFACE Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 you need to hook up a secondary battery in parallel with your main starter battery. that is positve to positive and negative to negative all the way from the front of your car and the starter battery to the secondary battery in the back. your alternator will keep them both charged. use fuses 12" away form both batts and use good quality wire rated for your amplifier. now power up your amp(s) with the secondary battery. hope this helps. keep reading you'll get the jist of it all.
