TeejayBee Posted July 29, 2010 Report Posted July 29, 2010 no no do it at the batt your rem wire is a small wire so it only can take so much current threw it. my remote wire takes like 10v all day long but its like a 12g wire Quote
skittlesRgood Posted July 29, 2010 Report Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) no no do it at the batt your rem wire is a small wire so it only can take so much current threw it. my remote wire takes like 10v all day long but its like a 12g wire he didnt tell him to put the meter on the remote wire. he asked if it was because it could be a problem. and a 12awg wire is pretty damn big for a remote wire. i mean the power wire to the HU in only about 20-18awg. veng - you know what, i just remembered i have a relay hooked up so thats why i see 14v lol.

eduardo817 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Posted July 29, 2010 yea i had hooked up my volt meter to my remote wire... i hooked it straight to my battery today after getting off of work and it read 13.8v on idle my remote wire was 18 gauge i think. where would i go to get my stock alt rewired or whatever its called to improve voltage output?

I dont think the Icons would have a problem with a little more power, as long as its clean.
