ok so if i tap into the power on my amp will the fans like pulse with the power that the amp pulls or will the amp give too much power to the fans and blow the fuse all the time?

thanks all

depends how much power your amp is pulling and if you have any electrical upgrades

but either way it shouldnt make much of a diff. Its a fan if it changes speeds nothing bad is going to come from it

well the amp is 1000 rms and i just thought of something will doing this case the fans to run even when the amp is off because the power cable is a direct shot to the battery

or could i just tap into the acc power from the deck becasue the fans will only be pulling likt 1 amp or so total

you may be able to power them from the remote wire but if not your gunna need a switch or relay

so is the remote a constant source or just a pule when it turns the amp on and pulse when it turns off??

if it was a pulse the amp wouldnt stay on. It is a constant

id run them off a relay for reliability sake

 

[pablo4429 10+ year member]

ya i think ill do a relay since the remote is constant, thanks a lot guys that really helped

i agree with the relay idea....

edit:

ot, but i just keep noticing im the 13th poster in alot of posts....lol....

Deff use a relay. The REM does not have the amp capacity to run fans. It it advisable to use a relay when running over 2 car amps. Wire the relay into the rem of the amp you want colled, and you can use that amps power/ground for the relay. That way it only comes on when that amp comes on.
