Dude @ 6.50 you are sending a dirty signal to your amp. you need to tune from your radio through any other equipment then your amp.

@thelifeofriley815 3 ай бұрын

Yeah eq was boosting the rca to like 9v and it was still clean on the scope. Amp says it takes up to 6v input but it actually will only take 2.2v before the board is unhappy. Clamped 4400 after rise on the setup. One of my next videos is troubleshooting gains on this. Got rid of the eq and lowered output on the radio so it’s safe/clean to max volume now.

I’d say so. Jerry ain’t loud used spim before cmax. Similarly rated C rates, spim is higher ah per cell, same voltage range. Spim is very happy at 15.4-15.8v. I’ve been daily driving for about a year on this 96ah bank. Definitely hates the cold though. Started car fine at 15°F but won’t hold voltage on music whatsoever. Doesn’t charge below 32°F. At 50° I can do car off demos and play a couple songs before I drop half a volt. (4k clamped)

1.8 lbs is two cells. You can shave a little weight using threaded aluminum bars. Aluminum is also a better choice for bus bars than the steel- copper-steel bars. Alignment is critical if one wants to get the maximum out of these. So, depending on your skill level and the materials used, you may want to build at least the first couple of bars as you assemble. Because you are working with the plane of contact bwtween two surfaces as your current path, you want them as flat as you can get them, and make sure they aren't cocked. It doesn't take much to lose half your conductivity.

Ur the only one I've seen run the isolator in the back. Recently picked up a 500-700amp for my wagon. Anywho, my question is do you have a cable running from your output of your alternator all the way back to your 2nd battery? Don't mind different, but I am curious. Most would have it up front as it is the middle child that distributes power to both the batteries without the battery themselves transferring power between them. 🤔

@thelifeofriley815 Жыл бұрын

I’ve only seen isolators in the rear as they usually aren’t meant for the engine bay. Positive goes from alt to front battery positive then same positive post has a run to the rear positive. Fuses at both ends between batteries and the isolator in the back. Some run from the positive of the alt all the way to the back but that’s more for bigger systems and multiple alts. The isolator is just a relay that connects the batteries. You want them connected to each other while charging. The iso is just for resting voltage while the car is off.

@thelifeofriley815 Жыл бұрын

@@BigSteve_Gaming187 dual batteries should be the same as a single large battery. Isolator is only for when the vehicle is off and batteries are at resting voltage. Should not be acting like two separate systems. How my car is setup is almost exactly how the wiring diagram is laid out in the instructions. It’s literally just a switch to connect the batteries. You shouldn’t be trying to keep the batteries separate while in use. That’s not how the isolator works.

@RAW_Reality Жыл бұрын

You had mentioned getting the XAD41, but have you considered the XAD42? It has enough juice to be used as a sub amp (1600w RMS @ 2Ohm x 2 channels) OR a 4 channel amp (350 watts @4Ohms x 4 channels), giving you more than double what the XAD41 would give you at the same cost as two XAD41(s) would, while taking up half the space. Could, in theory at least, also run it at 8ohm with all your speakers at ~120w x8. Just a thought... 🤔 Also, you had said that you were considering replacing the subs, possibly waiting for the v3 of the model you've got... I'd be interested in looking at they have for specs once they come out, but if you're considering options, look into the Stereo Integrity SQL 12. Unfortunately as time has gone by, they've gone up in price, but I've yet to find subs rated less than 2000 watts or $500 that even come close to what they can do in terms of quality sound and performance. One last thing of note: I saw in a previous video that you had set up your amp gains through Bluetooth, which causes signal degradation and performance loss. For that reason, using USB thumb drives or a wired connection is highly suggested. Looking forward to what the future endeavors bring you, and the best of luck. Much love from Michigan... ✌🏻

@thelifeofriley815 Жыл бұрын

All x series amps have the same height and width, the length is the difference. The xad42 is like 50% longer and double the price. I was looking at it initially but to do active 3-way fronts I need 8 channels so that’s either $600 more and like 8” longer of amps or just do the two xad41s for the price of one xad42. I’ll wait for the v3s but it probably will be a while. Just going to glue and tape the v2s back together until probably later this year. I was looking at a few subs but they are 400+ each for what power I want to throw around. The Bluetooth shows clean signal on the oscilloscope when I put it all together. It’s been like this pretty much the whole time I’ve had it together which is like 5 years. When I get my radio in I’ll have a usb of my main playlist for demos and stuff but I’ll mostly be doing Bluetooth for daily driving. Appreciate the input!

@RAW_Reality Жыл бұрын

@@thelifeofriley815 Hmm, I guess I didn't consider that you were going with a 3-way active system, so I can fully see why you'd rather save the space, but have you considered then possibly getting a DSP with built-in amp instead of separately running 2 4-channel amps from a DSP? Hope the v2s hold up! 🤞🏻 And, just for reference, what I meant about the Bluetooth isn't concerning it being a clean signal, it's about it being a compressed and weakened playback of the original, as any wireless signal inherently has quality degradation (at least until every device communicating is capable of Bluetooth LE technology, which is brand new, so almost nobody has available to them yet). For a contextual example from first hand experience, I can notice distinct differences in sound quality, depth of the music, overall volume, and reproduction of instruments by simply swapping from a Bluetooth connection to a wired one, and I'm willing to bet you (and anyone else) could too. If you have an AUX input in your current setup, it's worth experiencing for yourself. The Weeknd's track "I feel it coming", especially when it's a quality bit & sample rate (i.e. *not* from Spotify) showcases those differences well.

And no, I wouldn't steer you in the direction of Audio Control... Over-hyped and overpriced is what they are. And I'd be inclined not to agree with you about the "hard to focus on SQ @ 150db" comment, but to each their own... But then again, not many people do 142 on music under 2k watts to a single 12 @ 2ohms either, so what would I know? 😅 Granted, I'm more concerned with output quality than output amount than 90% of people who'll add subs to their vehicle, but I suppose if I was going for rattling everything at that level, I'm merely a box redesign and 2nd sub from that as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️
