yea just sometimes i think that distor blocks look a little cheap

I was at an audio shop once and i saw one of the guys who worked there making his own distro block. basically what he was doing was taking 2 peices of some kind of metal either brass or copper i think. and putting fuses between them to make a distro block. anyone know what kind of metal to use...

who else makes batterys besides stinger and optima that would be a strong battery?

so the lower the group number it seems the bigger the battery.

what does the group size mean?

the battery in my car died so i need to get a new one. i thought that i should just upgrade to something like a optima or stinger battery but how do you tell which is right for your car? if you get a battery that is bigger than your origional battery is that bad?

my examples were if all condition were the same. voltage resistance and such

formula for figuring out current is Power Divided by Voltage so each 4 gauge will be going to an amplifier i am guessing so how many watts is each amplifier? take that number and divide by 12 (because cars run on a 12 vdc electrical system) and that will give you the ammount of current on each...

Ok thanks for clearing that up then.

it was just a forinstance type of question no brands in mind yet.

hmm.. i though that in a parallel circuit your current has multiple paths to take and that at any given spot the power should be the same. and that in a series circuit your current only has 1 path to take meaning that the power would decrease as it goes down the line of your speakers meaning...

what does that mean? how i am looking at it looks to mea like in pic 1 each sub is receiving 1000 watts and in pic 2 each sub is receiving 1000 watts because in a parallel circuit power is the same anywhere in the circuit. so there really shouldnt be any difference that i can see anyways so a...

all 4 12s will be in the same box just wired different. in the first pic it would be 4 12s in 1 box but wired in sets of 2 and in the second pic still same box and all the same 4 12s in it but all are wired together.

power divided by voltage will tell you your current or amperage. in other words if you have a 1200 watt amp and you have a 12v power supply 1200/12= 100 meaning that there should be 100amps of current on that line so a 100 amp fuse is needed so that if the current peaks over that it will blow...

Hi i was wondering which of the 2 setups i am about to post would be the loudest all conditions beig the same IE (Box size and tuning and vehicle ect.....) System (1) is 4 12s and 2 1000 watt amps. 2 12s wired in parallel per amp each 12 has an rms of 1000 watts. System (2) 2 12 4 12s and...
