Just curious how you are wiring and powering them all...time to put my X-Mas list together!!!

 

distro block it dude, get tiff lol

 

you know thats a good idea. I should put together a crismass list for me

 

Yah, *duh*

Just wondering which distro blocks you guys were running, and what size wires you were using, though!!!

 

Pheonix gold distribution block 3 0 awg in, 4 4 gauge out :]

 

0 guage to thissexy mama

to 4 4 guages gauge from there....

 

Sexy, yes...but that thing better come with a 'happy ending' for that price!

 

Last dist block you'll ever need and a "show piece". Splurge for it. YOu know you want it

I'm still waiting for the happy ending though....

 

Stinger Expert 0AWG into Batcap400 which was used for distibution to Expert 4AWG to amps. No need for fancy blocks.

 

I am partial to this one.

I have the baby brother, 2 instead of four, and love it.

 

I have all Stinger HPM...

 

See my post? Glad you lik it

 

I'm running the Knukonceptz dist block. It looks like a little triangle. 1 0gauge ->4 8 gauge. Don't worry, my 8 gauge runs are like ~1 foot. 2 amps though, not 3 or more.

 

ok, the distribution block solves the problem of the power wires for each amp. But what about the "remote-turn-on" wires that each amp requires? Say you have 3 amps powering a 3-way system, would all three wires from the amps be combined with the "remote-turn-on" wire of the headunit harness? That seems like it'd be hard as hell to do.

 

Nah. I am running my dvd player, LCD screen, and amp from the same relay...really not all that bad.

 

Really? Thats exactly what I would call a batcap

 

Its not fancy, its just a plain White box with terminals, although it actually serves a purpose.


Hater

 

really? when I use to have two amps, I found that even combining two amps to the same relay wasn't easy, much less a neat connection. Maybe cause I wasn't using a soldering gun and manually twisting them together.

You could just daisy chain the remote from one amp to the other..

 

BRILLIANT.

PS - Manny, I now have +1 more posts than j00.

 

But if I delete some of yours then youll have less than him.

 

Thats like blackmail......

Will only be running 2 amps and and EQX off of this though. It was from a previous vehicle install that had 3 amps and worked perfectly

 

My choice landed me with this since I will be running 3 amps with 4AWG each.

 

Hey one great thing about that dist block is that you can get fuses ANYWHERE...they're so common. The fuse block I got, though real nice, requires special stinger fuses that are grossly overpriced.... I stocked up cause running out of them would be terrible...

 

lol ask filtor1 about that. lets just say he has no bass right now, waiting on fuses.

 

fuses came Thurs. I installed them w/in 20 mins. I have bass again. My Rainbows were so very lonely.

 

You just cant go without throwing in the fact that you have rainbows, can you.

 

Better than rubbing in some other certain names isnt it?

 

I have a DLS 3-way system, which I haven't installed yet. What's better, DLS or Rainbow? Just curious cause you all seem to be sweatin' Rainbow hardcore.

 

Hijack ftl

 

both very nice....sorry you feel left out

DLS are Morel based drivers, Rainbow has an authentic European sound, their drivers appear Seas influenced.

Basically good sounding drivers vs better performing(technically) drivers

In the raw speaker/DIY community, its divided as far as preference of sound.
Dynaudio, DLS, Morel sound vs the Rainbow, Seas Lotus, Scanspeak, Vifa(CDT), Skaaning(Audio Technology) type sound.

If you are happy in how they sound to you its all that matters. Its all nice stuff.
