so any sifu can teach me?how 2 join all those wire?(i wan fan wif on/off switch 1,thz) :) :) :)

heard sum 1 said pc fan not suitable,muz use 12V DC fan?? n plz list down wat should i buy n the price plz,thz :P :P :P

Erm , sotplug , in the first place , in my newbie opinion , its unhealthy to stack an amp on top of the other as heat cant disipate properly la bro.Thats what i heard and feel , but not sure whether correct.Maybe some sifu can clarify.

Hie,

As yohannes said, not to put and stack those amps together. Put them far far from each other to cool down. If problem presist then have to add fan if you like. :)

To add a fan, get a PC fan. Most PC fans rated 12V 0.1A and it will cost you RM3 - RM5. The fan comes in with socket, cut away the socket and left two wires to the fan. Tap one to the ground and the other one to the remote. Addvantages of tapping to the remote; won't draw a single power from the live current, when engine off fan also off.

Just my opinion, correct me if i am wrong. :)

As yohannes and ken12292703 said, and i'm
gonna say it agian.. DUN STACK THEM. the amp
cover also act as somesort of heat sink to decipate
the heat generated from the amp.

where u put the amp ar ? in trunk or under seat ?
maybe u can pull a 1" hose to direct ur aircond to blow them..
kakaka... just a stupid idea.

aiyooo

looks like turtle on top of each other ke :P

separate them 1st n see wheter u need a fan..

Anothign thins is that how are you runnign your amps? Many shops that install amps like urs dunno abotu proper wiring etc... Possibly you are running your amp at lower than recommended loads...

Also, looks liek u r using 16 gauge power cables.. hehehe

 

[ken12292703]

I think don't need to add aditional fan lorr, just saparate the amps it will be ok liao. If your amps really needs a fan, it will have a built in fan manufactured liao. :) Just my opinion.

 

[sotplugDESIGNER]

i oso tot b4 of separate them...but wat 2 do,no place mah... (atos):( :( :(

i put it under the seat,got 3 amp,a bigger 1 oledi 1 seat,then these 2 small amp hav 2 put 2gether.... pc fan can meh??? dunhav sifu here teaching me 2 install fan wif on/off switch??? :blink: :blink: :blink:

16 gauge power cables ok ah???or bad stuff???y u laughing??? :blink:

 

[alantan]

wei..i think you btter relocate the amp...

why not you try to relocate them at the rear boot...

relocate it at the rear seat....do you get what i mean?

and 16 gauge wire for amp is too thin...

the electric flow is not good....that is why you encounter problem with overheat and blink blink on the lights..

 

[sotplugDESIGNER]

rear boot wanna put other things mah....kekekesummore pull 2 rear boot need more cable=$ lolz

 

[alantan]

haih...... :lol: :lol:

anyway....you really must relocte la your amp...

 

[sotplugDESIGNER]

u noe i'm damn poor mah :P wanna relocate mayb need 2 buy extra cable... :( the cheapest way 4 now is install a fan 1st... :P tat's y i'm asking tat any1 noe how 2 install a fan in a car???? :blink:

i only got one amp so i only put it under my passenger seat..

if you have few amps..then you should have put at your boot....mount the amp on the rear seat?get the idea?

 

[tykoh]

Hi sotplugDESIGNER,

first of all, why u need so many amp? (just curious) maybe u can sell both amp and get a better one... 4 channel?

Just another idea, its to mount the amp at the back seat :P

[ken12292703]

Hie,

Another opinion, why not you screw both of that amps at the back of your woofer box? This is what i am running on now. I screw a amp at the back of the woofer box to safe some space. :) Just my opinion.
