I just picked up a cheap digital voltmeter (tested and it reads accurate) that i want to add to my system but i cant find a concise answer on where is the best place to run the wires in my system. ive read people run the wires to amp power input, to the battery, to the fuse box, or to some...

i have my 2 obsidian audio 12s on a hifonics BRZ1700. i should update my picture but that is the box i use, i just mounted the two amps on the front face of the box

Just to close this thread up, i found the problem. i had the ampwas mounted on the subs box thinking i would be one of the lucky ones. i wasnt, the amp was cutting off after it started shaking too much, after i took the amp off the box it played loud and constant with no problems. i did get...

but that would kill all 4 component sets at the same time? and its not at the exact volume, nor the exact same part of a song that it happens, its just after a few minutes . i have my gains set differently for my front doors and my back doors as well but they all go out together.

So for a while whenever i turn the volume up too much for too long i would hit a point where my speakers would crackle for a split second and suddenly stop playing, at first i dismissed itas an electrical issue since i was running stock with the big 3(and i just kept the volume below that point)...

so just add the battery? dont mess with an isolator? also how do i wire that up, just run (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) on each battery?

heres the situation, i have 2 Obsidian audio 12 D2s on a hifonics BRZ1700.1 and 4 vibe black air 6.5 components running off a hifonics ZRX1000.4 and stock alt and battery with the big 3 of 0 gauge. ive had light dimming issues for a while but i was too broke to do anything about it yet so i just...

At the moment i am considering either the VIBE audio space 6.5" or the Realm LS6C. I'm kind of leaning towards the VIBE's because I've got a little experience with the black air 6.5s but i have read quite a lot of good things about the Realm ones. what do you all think and I'm open to any other...

its really not the BRZ alone thats doing it, i was waiting to decide on my door speakers so for a little whiile i just ran the subs oin the BRZ and everything was fine, its when i added the ZRX to the mix that the lights started dimming. heres another odd thing, the lights on the ZRX amp also...

so what would i need to be looking at for the battery? using the power calc on the kinetik site that i heard about its saying i need 3 KHC1400 including replacing the stock one, that sounds kind of extreme to me

oh right, i have done the big three already with 0 gauge wire. so an extra battery is the first thing? would just replacing the one in there do anything or would it just make more sense to add one? the stock one is in there

title says it, my BRZ1700.1D powering my two obsidian audio 12 D2 and my ZRX1000.4 for my 4 vibe black air 6.5 components in my 02 trailblazer are eating through my power and noticeably dimming my lights when i have it cranked up. so my question is what can i do without having to drop too much...

ah sorry, the degrees are all Fahrenheit.

i have a Hifonics ZRX 1000.4 powering the 4 VIBE Audio Black Air 6 V2 in my doors and its getting really hot on me, its never actually shut off or anything but i want to know if its something thast i need to be really concerned about. today for instance i started up my car and measured the amp...

would picking up a Hifonics ZRX1000.4 for $155 be a good choice? more power for less money
