I want it reliable ie still cranks 1st time, alternator still charges etc. Maybe a bigger CCA rated battery for extra juices to the electrical components of the vehicle?
Icacha - If you have both a 4 channel and mono wired up but the mono itself hasnt been wired to power a sub as of yet, will it still draw current when the car is turned on? I'm thinkin of gettin both amps installed (Maybe a discount in it) and wiring a sub up later on down the track if I need to upgrade batteries or something.
wired as in powered up? if its powered and turning on yes it will still draw current, idle current only thou, generally about 2amps or there abouts, once you connect a load to it (speaker) then it will draw more as you crank the volume...
so stereo went in today and yesterday
Used up about 9 1/4 dynamats and still got some left over.
But some problems. The standard rear spoiler rattles like a MOFO. Everyone else have the same problem. Same with the rear right side shelf (maybe coz my box is mounted on the right). WIll dynamat fix any of these problems?
Should mention my gear
Eclipse CD7200 MKII
DLS MS6A 6.5 components with UP1c tweets
Eclipse SW7000 10 inch box in custom fibreglass box
Soundstream Lil Wonder II 4 channel amp (4x85rms)
Schneider SPA-6000x monoblock (850rms @ 2ohm)
Dynamat
Stinger RCAs and mixture of other 0 gauge and 4 gauge wiring.
