Awesome
Thanks for the data. I have no idea what it means but I can appreciate the time and effort it took to type it out into this forum. Not really and audiophile at all. My last Camaro still had a cassette player and I thought it was rockin LOL Four speakers and a tape player, I've have motorcycles with better sound systems!!!
Thanks again!! |

All over my head. Since you seem to know a lot... The most useful information to me would be for you to tell us what you are putting in your car (or what you would). Maybe start a member journal..

Sorry I don't agree with the all important audio list...
150 amp fuses??? Yeah maybe if youre running some sort of monster competition setup youd put a 150 before your fuse block. Capacitors CAN be a band-aid, but they also can be very useful for backing a hard hitting system without putting a monster electrical system behind it... Not everyone is looking to win an IASCA tournament...

I appreciate you advising everyone, but maybe you should keep your advice to yourself. I can't think of one 1000 watt amp on the market that would EVER need 150 amps of power. Most standard car alternators don't even put out 150 amps!!!! Not only that not having a 30 or 40 amp fuse (which is what a 1000 watt amp really needs) means the amp is susceptible to power surges and excess loads that can cook it. Fuses are meant to stop that. Half those links you posted don't work, do you even understand the info you posted?

Do you even know what the function of a capacitor is? Capacitor's are not meant to be batteries, so don't expect them to perform like a battery. Capacitors are designed to store and release power very quickly. They are meant to shield your battery from sustaining sudden power draw brought on by hard hitting bass. They're not meant to sustain power to the amp should you be running one continuous deep note.
And like Rogue Leader pointed out, if your advice is to use 150amp fuses, then I don't quite understand how you've never fried an amp before. |

After i set up a home theater test setup with a lexicon processor and krell amplifiers.I hooked up some monster cable and it actually threw the sound field off.I make my own cables now. You may ask what makes my opinion credible ? have a bachelors in EET Repaired mobile audio (cd players, cd changers ,amplifiers) for sound advice for 5 years Was an IASCA judge for install and Sound Q for 6 years and set up high end home theater as a hobby I even found the flaw in soundtream amplifers,called soundstream,they laughed,but their amplifiers continued to burn cars in to oblivion. Monster cable is a farce ,one step DOWN from radioshack patch cables.

For the average consumer who can't "make their own cables," then, what kind of cable would you recommend?

I think the mods need to change the title of this thread to "stereo misinformation... do not read!"
