cut the carpet away from the ground location or slit the carpet and stick the grounding wire under the carpet to hide it. sand the paint off of the grounding surface so it's bare, scuffed metal. use a large bolt for ground, not a small self threading screw. use ground wire equal in gauge to the pow...

So a day after switching my old 300w MTX amp with my newly purchased US AMPS 600x to hook up to my IDMAX, i'm driving down the highway listening to glorious bass... And just like that poof it was gone? I had been pounding it... But i was a lil shocked my US AMPS was going into protection after 20 mi...

Old Kenwood? I never figured they put out good amps? I have an old MTX amp i have had since 96. From the birthsheet it was about 20% underrated and it played decent. I must say it is very tempting to buy some of these old amps i see on Ebay. Only thing i noticed is that a lot of these amps are being...

Thanks glasswolf!

If im running about 1200Wrms does my 90A alt have anything to worry about if im not being ridiculous with the bass? Could the momentary spikes above 90A hurt my alt?

But what about accounting for efficiency? And shouldn't the voltage be 12?

Thanks for the reply.

I was reading glasswolfs article on charging systems... I was wondering about determining current draw of an amplifier... Instead of calculating watts divided by voltage divided by efficiency... Could i not just use the the fuse rating as a rough measure? So if i have two amps with 50A fuse each. I ...

i wasnt talking about buying the iridiums... I just meant that all i have heard of DLS is about their Iridium line...

Just wondering where the R6 would rate compared to the CDT JL-XR's... At this point im leaning towards the JL, although i may be able to get an R6 for 20-30 more.

What do you guys think about DLS R6A's? I hear good things about Iridiums... Would you say they at the level of the JL's and CDT's i mentioned?

What would be the current draw on that amp?
