    Turn on wire from battery?

    OK, I'm confused. How/Should I run a turn on wire from the battery to the amps in my car? I've got 2 amps & a car PC. They each will have separate lines from the battery. For the amp switches, I have two 20amp toggle switches and the car PC has a 25amp toggle switch mounted to the dash...

    Ok. For some reason the Edit button on the top post is missing. 3/3/2015. ALL PARTS ARE HERE. I've made the motherboard tray and am currently setting up the PSU tray. Will post images tomorrow.

    I put the project on hold until Saturday. I went ahead and ordered the PSU after reading up on it. Thanks for the tip.

    I actually had to google that. Lol. Don't know yet. I'll have to wait and see. TBH I'll most likely end up either coding something or using Rainmeter, desktop customization tool. I am a Computer Science/Game Design double major after all :3 EDIT: Do you have a recommendation on a dc - dc PSU...

    I'll most likely upgrade to one of those PSU's later, but as for the screen. It's all custom.

    Modern-Day Carputer [Need Suggestions on Audio Components]

    Alright so here's a little update. I've ditched the Pc behind the screen idea and have decided to move it into the arm rest. There is much more space in it then behind the screen and allows me to properly attack a water-cooling system to the CPU. Moving it also means that the sound card only has...

    Modern-Day Carputer [Need Suggestions on Audio Components]

    I could order that. But why? All of the fun is in figuring out how to make it work on your own. As for the heat thing. I was thinking about that too. I'm going to have to wait and see how much room is left with the case after getting it. I may wind up having to custom build a liquid cooling...

    I'm actually running that sound card in my current PC. Are you saying that there might be an issue with the sound card getting the signal to the amp? While I did list 10 foot cables for the RCA I can probably use shorter cables to reach the first amp. I'm planning on having the pioneer...

    I was going to post this in the Carputer topic, but the last post there was in 2013. I'm building a car computer and am new to car audio but very familiar with computer systems. I'm currently a full-time college student double majoring in Computer Science & Game Art while working full time...
