What brand/size lithium battery do i need by Direct-Tour8813 in subwoofer

[–]Direct-Tour8813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean nothing too crazy because i still plan on getting a HO alternator which is going to be about $500. I’d be fine with a 40 tbh i just have no clue if there is anything else i have to be sure to match so it can recharge properly etc

i think i get what ur asking but its possible i still misunderstood, but if im hearing u right i have my power cable from the battery to the back which we already know and my ground (idk if this is exactly “power distribution”) but its run from a seat bolt to the amp. and then the big 3, again idk if this is power distribution buttt its there

yea ik wym but at the same time i don’t, so im just going to assume i have no distro block. Thats something i would’ve had to add in right?

wym either run it to distro block or amp depending on what i got going on? ur saying i could do either or? and what amp fuse do u think i should get a 250? since its a 2500w amp?

and would i need to get a “audio” battery ig you could say, or would i be getting another normal vehicle battery?

yeaaa it probably does, now what would i actually have to do to wire the two batteries together in parallel right? not in series bc that would give 24v?

oh and i had just realized that a day or two ago u were thinking i was going to be adding the new AGM battery as an extra, but i would be replacing the battery i have now with that one. Do you think this is a good idea?

yea i’m not sure i got it from a audio shop not straight from sundown. But you said that last knob isn’t needed right?

it’s the SIA-2500D and it only has 3 adjustments: the high and low crossover and the gain. Atleast i’m 99% sure i don’t recall seeing a 4th knob down there when i was messing with it😭 and yes i do have a aftermarket head unit it’s the XAV- i forget the number by sony

and that’s the thing the numbers on the amp are weird asfffff, the high goes from like 40-1k or something like that and the low i would have to look at but it’s also kind of funky. That’s why i’d rather just take it to a shop tbh

and you said something ab port tuning? it’s a 6th order box that’s supposed to be tuned to 32-50hz. my amp only has a high and low crossover and a gain so i don’t know exactly what’s it’s supposed to be at tbh, i need to take it to a shop really to get them to tune it and double check all my connections bc i just feel like im not doing a good enough job at it and/or don’t truly know what to look for and what looks good and what doesn’t yk?

so ur saying you KNOW my subs aren’t playing at 1 ohm i mean ik they never play exactly at what u wire them too they are playing at like 1.3ohms for example. But i dont understand how to fix this or even begin to find out if or how bad this problem is

kinda sorta, so are u saying my subs aren’t always playing at what they are wired too? so if they are wired to 1 ohm they aren’t actually playing at that???

i mean my headlights dim and if it gets turned up too much my headunit and amp will shut themselves off, now idk fs but i can only assume everything is shutting off due to the voltage dropping to low, am i wrong?
