do I need any specific diodes for this job? I've got some I've unsoldered off of other car amps and random circuit boards, of all different sizes. I'm not sure if it matters or not.

Alrighty! Well thank you guys, I appreciate it. I'm currently studying over this type of stuff so I thought this experiment would be a cool learning experience. I will definitely be around here more often.

I can tell just from this thread that, I'm going to like it here. I've asked this question on multiple boards, and this is the only one with anyone who actually knows what they're talking about, so thank you. Okay, so, as an overview, I need to solder diodes on all the 12v wires on the first...

So, I could solder a diode onto each 12v, directly onto the wire? I tried doing this a couple days back but on the cathode and the wire extending from the cathode, I was getting a voltage of 1.2 on my DMM. So it was like I was picking up the diode's voltage but none of the current from the PSU...

Did you check the fuses? Any weird smells? do the sub/speakers work plugged into any other outputs? Does the deck work sans amplifier? Is your inline fuse blown?

Hello, I am currently using 2 PSU's to run an amplifier for a subwoofer that I will be purchasing soon. This is more of an experiment than anything. Now, here is the dilemma I'm having: I have 2 PSU's wired in parallel, as to combine the amperage of their respective 12v rails. One is 17, the...
