I Have a Rockford Power t1001bd Amplifier..Its 1000 Wrms @ 12v..

At 14v Its 1420Wrms

What do i have to do to get 14v Out of the Power Supply?

Have an electrical system that puts out 14.4 v. If your electrical system doesn't reach 14.4 v, do the Big 3, upgrade battery, or upgrade alternator.

Turn your car on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The amp puts out more than 14Vac from the power supply.

You want the 14V from your alternator.

If its a GM you will only see about 13.8V not the 14.4V like most cars

Very good point. Most GM's have an idle voltage at about 13.8-14.1. I have a 99 tahoe and i get 14.2 on a good day. i also have a big battery and a H.O. alt. Import cars have an idle voltage of 14.2 + some times high 14's. If you want the 14.4 volts and idle and have the amps from the alt to back it up you can get exteral voltage regulators.

Well when i put it on a Voltmetre...it read 12.5volts..

I got a bigger battery also..1100 Cold Cranking Amps.etc.

Its Been a while,i think the truck was Off..

I Also Jus wanted to Ask..Why is there Sumtimes a Buzzing sound from the Subz at Low Volumes,then Sumtimes when i turn the volume right off they sumtimes are little sounds?

there ya go.

Start er up and you should have the voltage you are looking for.

The buzzing could be the ground, the amp itself or some interference that the RCA's are picking up.

It could be the H/U also

Besy way to eliminate the RCA's,H/U would to just unplug them and see if the noise is still there.
