Speaker Wiring and powering???

right i have a 1000W amp and sub and a 6x9... i can get the all to fit in my seat.. BUT how do i wire them to the battery?? or do i need a seperate battery in my seat?? any diagrams would be helpful... thanks!

 

ite mate ur not gonna be able putr a system that powerful in a ped .i tried with speakers amp and head unit and failed. best way is get some pc speakers rip em appart then wire em to battery .tho you can make is clearer by adding something to boost the power after battery .cant member exactly tbh but theres plenty of ideas on here

 

its called a capacitor and cost like 150 to 200 pounds !!!

 

12v pc speakers ftw. plenty loud enough for relaxing with your mates somewhere

 

Reckon youl get less that a 3minute song with all that.
as people have said 12v speakers work good enough

 

assumin your talkin bout if he uses the setup he had in mind people not the speakers i suggested. i used ta get 2 hours tunage outa mine. and lol why not ffs why put it in a car .nout better than goin to a meet an be able ta play some decent music while ya sit round with ya m8s .

 

Obviously have no idea of how a capacitor works.....

 

capacitor causes a delay in the circuit doesnt it? like in an 555astable (flashing light) circuit??? cud be wrong....

if i ran if off a different battery? then battery to the amp, amp to sub and 6x9 then amp input with a custom wire to fit to my ipod??? would it work? or wud i need some kind of step-up??

 

m8 it aint gonna work i tried it with 3 lil 4 ich speakers and a head unit the first time n it was flat in all of four seconds though admitably it was loud as a mofo for wat it was. use the pc speakers m8 they work

 

Wrong.
A capacitor holds charge... so in a stereo application, it holds a charge located at near the amp. The theory is, that it can be used to supply power when the stereo hits a bass note and the battery, cabling cant keep up for that instance.
That said, IF they are beneficial (debatable) they can only supplement power for fractions of a second.
In your proposed application they are a waste of money.

in a 555 timer circuit, the differing 'charge capacity' of different sized capacitors is used to alter the speed and timing of the circuit.

With adding another batter... firstly, where are you going to put it. secondly, the power still has to come from somewhere... your stator will have trouble keeping it all charged...

 

FYI... lets assume the 1000W amp is peak signal, therefore RMS is around 707W

707W/12V=58.9A

to put it in perspective, a standard car alternator can generate around 60A @ 13.5V.

The 35W low beam on your headlight is around 2.9A......

 

and also a power cap can hold like 2 hours power lol not a millie second m8 .least the one in ma bros car can

 

Sorry Nibs... i think you have that mixed up.....

even a 1 or 2 farad capacitor wont power an amp for long (id be surprised if it ran for a few seconds while playing music)......

It may be able to power an LED for a while... but eventually the charge will just leak out.

 

nah the one i got out ma bros car was basicly a battery powered my pc speakers for ages

 

kin ell why would you want a 1000watts i ran 2 180 watt speakers on the vespa via a minni 300 watt amp had a 12v 12amh battery and it would last all night the battery only powerd the amp tho as it does not have a battery on the t5 any way loaud as the preverbial so 1000 is way to big

 

well translated minor....

nibbles: are you sure this was a cap?

 

power cap m8 think got confused wen ya sed cap .but i was only running the small cheap pc speakers on it n like minor sed they will only supply the power thats needed by the application so probs why it lasted a whiel wen i tested it .was a beasty one though for stupid size jbl amps and subs .i did mine how minor sed in the other ten threads lol

worked great and looked ok
