Is there sum way i can make my own Distribution Block for my car amps i have 4?
Is there sum way i can make my own Distribution Block for my car amps i have 4? wires are Just going every where and i wanna set it up an make it look nice so i wanna sum how make my own Distribution Block for the ground wires an 1 for the power so is there any way?
There are premade ones to buy ,
BUT if you really want to make your own , You’ll need a large block of copper and drill holes into the size of the power wires then drill a hole at 90 degrees to it then tap the hole and get set screws to lock the wires down. the trouble is mounting it Isolated meaning not touching ground , you can drill hole thru it and mount it to the sub box ect

In a store how do they power the display models of car headunits, amps, speakers, and subs?
Do they use car batteries, PC Power supplies, or what do they use to power all of the car audio stuff in the store on display?
Power supplies. Batteries are a mess to maintain in doors. Power supplies are cheaper and require little or no maintenance.

Car battery amps measurement for current leak?
Can I get step by step instructions on how to connect my amp meter to check for a current leak. I will need to pull out one fuse at a time to see if the current drops, but I am not sure of how to connect the amp meter. Do I remove the + cable but keep the - cable on the battery?
You can remove either the positive or the negative and keep the other one hooked up. You put your meter in line with the removed cable……….remove one cable end from the battery and then hook one meter lead up the the disconnected battery post and the other meter lead to the disconnected cable end. Have your meter on the highest amp setting so you dont blow the fuse inside your meter. You will need to wait a few min till the computers "sleep", some vehicles will have an excess draw for the first few min until the Computers shut down. also make sure you take out the light bulb for the hood if it has one and to keep the door shut while you are looking for the draw Good luck!

Hey Guys, i was wondering if anyone can help me install subs and amps in my car?
I got a 1998 ford escort from my friend who moved back to Europe. The car has a 6 disk cd system in the trunk so it doesn’t really have a pull out system in the front. I was wondering if there was any way i could install some bass subs and amps in that car?? Please help:)
Yes you can keep your factory radio if you’d like. The way to do it is go to your local car audio shop and purchase an in-line converter or it may be called a hi/low impedence adapter. What this does is it hooks up to your factory speaker wires and converts them into an RCA output. Basically it gives you a place to hook the rcas up to. Then you will need an amp kit, and choosing what gage amp kit you will need will depend on what size amplifier you get. You will also need to find a remote wire for your amp to turn on as well. All your speaker wires and your remote wire for your radio is in the trunk by the way or it should be. That is where you will hook up the converter as well.

Why car amplifiers usually have higher wattage than home amps?
I inquired many stores about home amplifiers, there wattage ranges from 300 to 500 watts only. But car amps do have 500 to 2000 watts - and they are not big and not expensive compared to home amps.. why is that? i want to buy amplifier for my 400 watts/12" subwoofer to be used at home. Pleaseeeeee….
Thank you so much for the answers!!!
Yeah, so car amplifiers just have than home amps. It’s always been that way and that’s the way that it in all probability will stay

Automotive question-On a fusible link from a car what amp is a 20 gauge fusible link equal to in amps?
replacing a fusible link with a fuse need to know the amp equal for a 20 gauge link.
It will start to fail somewhere around 18 to 22 amps. But fuse links will endure being slightly overloaded for a short period of time before they actually melt and break the circuit. That is why they are used in some circuits which can be intermittently overloaded. You may want to keep this in mind if putting in a fuse in place of a link. The fuse will blow when the circuit is only slightly overloaded. Where as a fuse link will usually only blow when it is really overloaded or shorted. You may want to carry a lot of spare fuses with you.

How to hook up amps to 8000 watt car subs?
I have a pair of 15 in legecy car subs (8000) watts each and I would like to know the best way tohook up the amps 2 4000 watt amps for each sub 4 2000 watt amps each and so on
Dont even bother hooking up bogus flea market legacy equipment. Return it or sell it, and get real equipment. None of the products you listed are even 1000 watts, since legacy uses fake power numbers.

How to jam or interfere with car amps?
How can I make a device to transmit signals to interfere with the IF phase or the amp phase of car audio amps boombing as they pass within several feet? What frequency, type of signal, and power is required? Any Ideas?
I’ve had similar thoughts, but I suspect that any well-made amplifier will be thoroughly shielded against such intrusions. Cars are such electrically noisy environments that shielding is a must. Probably by the time you got through to the amp half the home electronics on your block would be fried!
