Car Audio Amplifier Questions

[forbiddensmoke]

yun na ba yun? normal lang ba yun sir?

pero pag normal na pagpapatugtog naman sir kahit gano katagal walang difference. tipong mga nasa 10-15 ang volume (medyo malakas na rin kung tutuusin). pero pag mga 16 up, nagkakaron na ng medyo konting pag-lata ng bass after a few minutes of playing. pag gabi kasi at pauwi dito sa bulacan nilalakasan ko pagpapatugtog para magising habang nagdadrive...

ah,

but what if you have 1 box (with a subwoofer) and just mount it Over/On the Box, what i mean is, on top of the box?? is this good with a ported mount Box? even in the scenario that it is a very very hot and sunny day? and with you boom boom audio running on medium-high volume?

ganito set-up ko dati...pagbumabayo na ng malakas may rattling sound...kainis. nawala nang lagyan kong ng rubber matting between the amp and the box.

guys, yung installation po kasi ng amp ko di na namin nalagyan ng fuse. actually i have the generic fuse holder from the wiring kit i bought. di ko na po nailagay... medyo nakalimutan ko na rin kasi. ngayon po parang gusto ko na po kasi ilagay yung fuse/fuse holder para safe.

tanong: pano po ba ikabit yung fuse/fuse holder part? kaso it needs to be water proof, right? ok lang kaya yung kasamang fuse/fuse holder sa generic wiring kit ko?

[hammerdin]

any fuse will do as long as tama ang rating nya at hindi putol. :D

guys, pero what if i'm going to add another amplifier, a capacitor still wont be necessary? hehe... para ma-klaro lang po.

anyway, i dunno if it's just me... kasi napapansin ko pag nagpapatugtog ako ng medyo malakas at ma-bass na tracks, sa simula ang ganda ng tunog, clear and masarap pakinggan yung bass. after a few minutes (mga 15-30 mins siguro of continuous playing) parang "lumalata" yung bass. para bang humihina ng konti (konti lang naman pero napapansin ng pandinig ko) yung overall music. does that have something to do with the amplifier? by the way, v12 nv805 lang po amp ko.

thanks po ulit!

My theory is that pag umiinit na yung amps mo nagkakaroon na ng distortion. Amps might be starting to strain to deliver the required power to your subs as it heats up from prolonged operation at high listening levels. Underpowered ba ang amps mo for your subs?

Nanggaling na ako sa 4-amp setup long time ago (puro Alpine) and never needed a capacitor. Pero it might be due to the fact na 2SM ang battery ko noon. Hirap nga lang sa 4 amps daming failure points, so nag-switch na ako sa 2 amps setup.

anyone would want to help me?

what if dalawa ung amplifier ko, ung isa 2channels for subs and the other 1 is 4channels for seps, kakayanin kaya ng battery ng oto ko un though its only 2sm? o kelangan ko na ng capacitor?

ANo ba wattage ng amps mo? I think your battery is ok. This is provided you listen with the engine running. Your alternator will keep your battery charged. If you like to use your system with the engine off, you may need another battery and a bat isolator.

Like, I said before, you wont need a cap unless your lights dim with every bass note. But I'll install the big 3 before a cap. Note you need properly sized power and ground cables. Guage 4 is usually enough.

The big 3 is simply upgrading your electrical wires.
1. Battery + to alternator
2. Battrey - to body ground
3. Engine to body ground

actually im just planning to have a new amplifier plang, ung jbl BPX500.1 for my subs pra 2channels lang.. kc ung v12 ko 2000w lang mahina raw un for my subs and it was jbl GTO1514.. ilalagay ko nlang ung v12 4 the separates.. tama po ba un?
and what if ung separates ko pinalitan ko kc stock lang xa ng jbl GTO628 60watts & 180watts peak, ok lang kaya ung v12 if ever na ilagay ko xa dun?

another thing, pag 2channels lang ung amps mas malakas xa compaired 2 4channels? ndi ko kc kabisado eh.. tnx anyways!

Sir the fuse must be installed its a safety device not to burn your cables (worst your car) when there is something wrong with the amp or your power supply cable.

Safety practice Put main fuse from the Positive of the battery terminal going to your amp. At the trunk assuming your amp is located there, put fuse block where you can fuse each individual amp if your using a multi amp system.

On Fuse rating refer to your amp capacity and size of wire HTH

BPX 500.1 is a good amp. Busog ang sub mo. Ok plan mo to use v12 for seps and BPX for sub. Dont think you need capacitor or extra battery. Just make sure the installer will use correct size power and ground wires.

Very good advice

thanks!

thanks!

Magaganda yong advice nila.. but if you play your music loud for long period of time or hilig mo magstandy, opening your doors and enjoying your music sa labas ng kotse..yes you need an extra battery if you have the BPX500.1 and a 15" sub.. 1 battery will only last few songs mangyayari sa ibang sasakyan ka nalang makikinig muna dahil nagcharge pa yong battery mo..LOL..(I was just sharing my experience) , alternator upgrade(if possible, dahil these extra bits will give strain to your alternator ) , and add caps for in-demand power/energy..
(I know theres lots of debate about capacitors but if you had all the upgrade why not use them..akin lang to ha)...INGATZ!

woah! honga iba2 kau nweiz, ill just ask nlang kung may idea kau kung magkanu ung capacitor xka kung may iba't-ibang klase ba 2?

[xtian_joyaxx]

"woah! honga iba2 kau nweiz, ill just ask nlang kung may idea kau kung magkanu ung capacitor xka kung may iba't-ibang klase ba 2? "

Yes may ibat-ibang klase..May capacitor nanag start from .5 fard, 1 farad and so on..yong iba magsuggest for every 1000watts na system 1 farad daw..but I will suggest if you can afford the larger farads go for it..para hindi na mag-iisip magupgrade..(the bigger the better)..The price dati was 2K-3.5k(baka meron kana makuha ngayon na mura) sa 1 farad dati..pero it varies sa capacitance pagmalaki ang farad masmahal..and sa brand din..

ah ok.. anu2 nman po ung magandang brand ng gnun?? wla kc akong alam sa gnyan, xka wla rin kcng gnyan ung auto ko.. senxa..

Hmmm.."Lightning audio" itong sa akin sa medyo old model na ito..baka meron dito ibang nakagamit na ibang brand..dahil medyo marami-rami nadin akong nakikita sa mga car audio shop..magwindow shopping ka sa..RAON..Banawe..at caraudio shop ng mga MALL..and one more thing mapapagalitan ka sa style ng typing mo binabawal nila ang "TXT" style

[eminem015]

mga kuya.. may question ako.. meron kc akong nakitang revo, smooth ung bass nya tsaka ndi ganu kalakasan sa malayo pero ang raming nag-aalarm na kotse sa paligid.. panu kaya ung setup na gnun? low frequency kaya ung tawag dun? panu gwin un sa kotse? anybody has an idea?

[testament11]

naka SPL setup yun bro...
