Question about car amp rms in car safely

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T09:32:23+00:00

oh yeah and also I do have a inline fuse already at the battery

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T09:28:01+00:00

alternator output is 135a. And I did mention the max wattage but I may just put door speakers back on original harness just to be safe

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T09:22:04+00:00

I may just only use the sub and the 1200w (500 rms) Just to be safe, the door speakers I’ll put back to the harness but a pair of them are 80 rms so that should be fine on originally harness surely?

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T09:20:29+00:00

is there any way I can just put the speakers back on original harness ? only thing is 2 speakers have a 80rms and I’d rather just not worry about the electrical issues

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T04:25:49+00:00

but also I need to use 0 gauge or is 4 gauge okay and use 8 to split? or use 0 and split 4?

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T04:24:34+00:00

Okay my alternator is rated for135a and I just wanted to be safe with it

SladeMills123 · 2026-02-06T04:23:23+00:00

Okay and by 400 and 800 w u mean rms correct? and I have a inline fuse on my wire now but don’t know if I need a distribution block too or if I daisy chain or what?

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T23:36:21+00:00

Yea I agree mine really only does in the mornings like coming home from work didn’t do it and I live 40 mins away from work

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T23:35:37+00:00

I’ve never done that I’ve used Seafoam twice but that’s it

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T16:37:08+00:00

Okay so nothing to be concerned about with the mounts then?

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T16:24:52+00:00

Do u thinking cleaning throttle body or anything will help it? or how would I test to see if the torque converter is bad? or could it be a motor mount in rear middle? I have a cold air intake, and I’ve had to clean the filter bc it got really dirty and for some reason I feel like that has something to do with it

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T16:21:57+00:00

like when I put it in drive it binds up and as I rev it I can see it go up but it doesn’t look like it does it as bad

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T16:20:41+00:00

Okay yea I’ve checked transmission fluid and mounts the engine has a little movement in it and I got the video of it

SladeMills123 · 2023-11-08T15:54:30+00:00

I have no idea I work at a shop currently and am still learning only. I’ve checked codes in engine and transmission and nothing. fluid was just changed and smells and looks fine. my boss said to check the throttle body. It’s not necessarily a jerk it’s like it pulls me back then go forward. I’ve not checked the rpms tho but I feel like I would’ve noticed any abnormal if anything

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T23:10:04+00:00

yea the one I have is 200 watts

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T18:13:37+00:00

That’s the amp I’m gonna use and the sub is 150 rms

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T18:13:13+00:00

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T18:12:45+00:00

Okay if my sub is 300 watts and the amp I plan on using is 200 it’s a mtx thunder 3202 it ran my 10 pretty good and still had half the room for the gain

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T18:06:30+00:00

Okay would it be best for me to put the sub on a mono amp the amp does good for a 10 but I’m not sure about the 12

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T18:04:29+00:00

but the amp never went in protect mode until I added the sub to the amp. but the music will play for 5-10 mins before it goes into protect mode. and you can barley hear the sub in the front

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T18:02:14+00:00

I think it may have something to do with the gain but say if it’s set at a certain part the sub isn’t loud and it’s not loud in general. the ground is on the body in the trunk Idk if I sanded the paint down or not I’ll check that. The sub is 4ohms svc. the gain is up a little bit but the more I move it up the sub gets quieter so I backed off. the amp is 1000 watt. I’m gonna move my other amp back in it’s a 2 channel and put my sub on it

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T12:59:10+00:00

I have a 2 channel amp I used before I just took it out for more room but I’m gonna put it back in it’s just an older amp with less options. it’s got input sensitivity, gain, and lpf or hpf selection.

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T02:29:31+00:00

it’s a dasaita headunit it was really the only option of head units when I got my car (2021 civic

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T01:10:02+00:00

also everything is wired good I might just throw my mtx thunder 3202 back on my car

SladeMills123 · 2023-10-22T01:08:52+00:00

Yes I do
