Hi shredder, fully except that it was vague and nebulous (good word, had to look it up), as I didn't know what to ask. I have thought of a few questions since, though. I'm I right in saying that the measurement mic should be pointed directly at the speakers (not pointing to the roof) and should...

Thanks for all the replies :) lots for me to read through and think on. I damaged the speakers because I changed the head unit, and took the volume up to max to work out the 75% rule and to test how clean the unit was with a SMD DD1, but forgot to reduce the volume down again before...

Well fair play to connects2, I sent them an email in regards it all, and they came back with, we make a product to resolve the issue, but as your method works, then heck just go with it and skip the product. Honestly didn’t expect a reply. Products here for future reference to anyone...

Hi, I would be grateful if someone could give me a rough guide of what is generally considered an acceptable level of distortion from the speakers for a sub, mid bass, mids and tweeters please? Unfortunately I damaged my speakers today by briefly sending well over the rated wattage to the...

Thanks, that’s not a bad idea. I did run a power supply and ground (to keep the head unit and amp grounds in the same place) yesterday from the head unit to the leisure battery, with the new power supply feeding the head unit constant yellow wire, but left the little yellow wire that feeds the...

The radio stays on throughout the start/stop process, and continues playing music files etc, at first I thought it was a problem with the amps, but Sony confirmed that as the switch live to the amps from the head unit takes it’s power from the permanent live yellow wire, a drop to 7/8 volts...

On the connects2 adapter you have 2 yellow wires, a thicker one that supplies the constant 12v to the radio (one I plan to join to the leisure battery +) and a thinner yellow wire that provides constant power to the adapter interface, from the connects2 interface, there is a red wire which...

No problems with that, but there were no amps and the radios you get in commercial vans are as cheap and basic as possible. Heck electric windows only became standard about 10 years back 🤣

Almost to a Tee what the current setup is 🥳, also have some Esotar2 110 also run of a rainbow germanium four. Over kill, but as I had the amp…

Swapping what amps run what speakers

Thanks for the reply 😊 The T6 has a smart alternator, whilst a solenoid isolator will work, it’s not recommended. Yes it’s the engine start/stop feature that is causing the problem, when the engine stops everything is fine, but when the engine restarts, the amps turn off for around 30 seconds...

I would be interested in hearing folks views on the matter as I am currently unsure what to do. At the moment I have rainbow germanium four in bridged wiring driving a set of dynaudio Esotar2 430 and audison voce av quattro in bridged wiring driving a dynaudio Esotar2 650, but I’m wondering if...

Thanks for the post, and my time to be confused :D. I think I am describing it all wrong. I’ll try to explain things clearer I have a 2nd battery in the back of my vw t6 van that currently feeds all the amps and that’s it (charged by a dc to dc charger). I want to run a power lead from the 2nd...

No really an option as this is all equipment that is a few years old. But fair enough, I understand your point 😊

Hi, Dual to start/stop issues (don’t always remember to turn off) I was planning on feeding the main power supply to the radio of the leisure battery that supplies the amps. However I then realised that whilst main power can come from the leisure battery, the switch live would still need to come...
