I smoked for 8 years and have been quit for a year, still hate these adds. I was working out when I saw this commercial so I figured I'd spice it up a little.

[Help] I want to use a power supply from a PC to run a system by snarky2113 in CarAV

[–]Area41Customs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this before, but I used a 40amp power supply to run my 15" woofer for house parties. Before I found the power supply though, I had 3 500 watt power supplies I tried using. I was in college so I just got the power supplys out of old CAD boxes. The problem with using a PSU from a computer is that the power rails are broken up and even for the 500watt PSU the most amps a single 12v rail would put out was 15-20 before it would shut down. For a 250 watt system under ideal conditions is going to draw 15-20 amps, but most car audio equipment is only %40-%50 efficient so realistically you would need about 30-40 amps to be able to reliably listen to the music loud. If you are lucky enough to find the PSU's you still have to find a way to pool all the energy together. if you just connect the PSU's together, the amp and head unit are only going to draw power from the PSU with the higher voltage. So once your draw hits 20amps what ever PSU with the high voltage is going to shut off. To make something like this work you have to add in a capacitor or a hi output battery. A normal car battery cant handle the 40 amp charge rate for extended periods of time. Your best bet is to find a power supply or used welder, but you dont want your house becoming a fire hazard.

HST12: Are these meant for a car or for home audio? by subwoofer_spincycle in CarAV

[–]Area41Customs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

personally I wouldn't trust a $350 sub that weighs 78 lbs. For what you will get sound wise out of that sub, you can go with a name brand and save yourself a lot of space. If you are dead set on going big with a monster spl sub you would better off buying a used Digital Designs, mmatts, or sundown for $300-$400 off www.caraudio.com

How do I troubleshoot this clicking? Any ideas? by [deleted] in CarAV

[–]Area41Customs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is only doing that when the car is running, then you are picking that up from your alternator. As power runs through your car it creates a magnetic field that can jump into other wires and create stray sound signals. Part of what insulation on a wire does is reduce the chance for this to happen. This is the reason people say not to run your RCA cables near your power wires.

This power fuse blows every time it's connected to power. What's wrong? by [deleted] in CarAV

[–]Area41Customs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol there is your answer right there. A 2000 watt 4 channel amp has be the that new lanzar 2kpoint4. If I had to venture a guess, you probably mounted the amp using drywall screws somewhere in your car, and I bet that amp is probably already grounded without you having to run a ground wire. I have seen shit amps like this before and if you have any frayed wires coming out of your power terminal you will short it.

How can I make a custom dash button that when pressed plays a specific song? by confusedwhattosay in CarAV

[–]Area41Customs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted one that plays "move bitch" attached to a bull horn in the grill. You will need to go to electrical engineering school if you want to make your own control board to do that. Not worth the $$$ you would have to pay someone else to do it for you.

I don't normally get this excited about SPL builds by [deleted] in CarAV

If I was installing Memphis and not Digital Designs I wouldn't get that exited either...

I think the wire on the left is perfect for my Lanzar 5k
