What do the grey rectangles represent? Aren't you underpowering your sub alot, and putting alot of strain on the psu since its trying to run a HU and a SUB. Also, Wouldnt it be better to use the spare channel and the current one for the sub, To provide it with more power?

[esjayay]

@jarrodw04 rectangles are the pin connectors. Just get a high watt PSU but it worked on mine for months until I dissasembled it. Sub on spare channel wouldn't make much of a difference, pretty much same thing.

how can a 600w psu power a 900w amp?

[esjayay]

@xtigoxxx I already had a 600w psu and 900w amp thats why this diagram is based on my setup. It worked ofcourse but still had fair amount of power.

HEY DUDE I REALLY NEED HELP TRY TO RESPOND SOON . I HAVE IT ALL CONNECTED BUT IT WONT TURN ON JUST KEEPS SHOWING THE TIME

[esjayay]

@thehacksrule First of all IS your setup exactly connected as the diagram shows? I would advise you to check once more and also to make sure your HU is not put on aux. Does you power supply turn on?

[esjayay]

@TheSamhalll from my ass......nah joking.....from the powersource (wall outlet)

[peinerchestical]

I'll turn up the mp3 player some and the amp will cut off and on kinda. (idk exactly what it's doing) why?

[SepaMusicTV]

thx men

[sunshinebeauty91]

@xtigoxxx psu = "600w" rms/ 900w peak and the amp = 600w rms/"900w" peak this would not underpower the amp , to boot psu's are usually under-rated, while amps are over.

You can however remove the head unit from the equasion and use rca from most any device or stereo. i have a diy sub setup like this, tho all in one box.

[Cpzirk]

@djblackarrow SOME psu's have max draws. other higher end psu's have what they call "true power" which tells you the psu's max possible TRUE output. cheap psu's say they have 450 watt. however it goes similar to this.

12v main line to board. 14 A

12V molex 5 A

12 V atx 8 A

for a total of 27 A.

amp to watt equation i do not remember right now. but normally a 450 watt psu, thats not rated TRUE power actually outputs like 380. had a 500 that outputted 438 true

[Cpzirk]

@JasonMann8 psu's will shut themselves down from over-draw. my current setup, im underpowering my amplifier. im using a 500 W psu on a 600 W amp. its taken some fine tuning, but i dont draw more than the psu can put out now. (amp draws 25 amps, psu puts out 20)

[Cpzirk]

Yellow from 12 volt 20 A rail to amplifier, bridged over to remote (or 12 v floppy wire,or molex) also yellow, and a gnd cable. yellow from molex to car stereo aswell as gnd. rca out of stereo (aka head unit) to amp. from amp out to spkrs. in this setup you will want to run ANY SPEAKERS off the amplifier, as the 12 v line going to stereo isnt powerful enough to allow uses for speakers. GREEN TO BLACK is power on. you could throw a 12 V switch in between the two wires, and uve got a on off switch

[JasonMann8]

for clarification, amps are what matters with a psu to amp connection. a 300w psu sounds good with a 300w amp, but the psu may only be 15a and the amp could be 25a, thus overheating the psu. and look at rms power with amps when comparing watts. the peak power can only be reached under ideal weather conditions, volume maxed, and a clean power supply under a quick spike of electricity

[djblackarrow]

@Supermociomo: each Black Wire: Ground ; Yellow: +12VDC ; Red: +5VDC ; Blue: -12VDC ; White: -5VDC ; Orange: +3,3V ; Violett: +5V StandBy ; Green: power on. You need only Black, Yellow, Green. As shown in the video.

[djblackarrow]

@thehacksrule: The yellow wire comes to Batt and ACC (ignition). The black wire is the ground connection to the car radio.

The continuous positive connection (Batt) to a car radio, is for the station memory, clock, and responsible for the storage of other settings.

[djblackarrow]

For all those who have no clue about technology:

What is printed on the case on a power amplifier, is not the continuous power! These are only theoretical maximums, which may never be reached. It's just a beautification and users are encouraging.

The continuous power is to be read in the manual.

For home cinema amplifiers, only the power consumption is specified on the nameplate. Not the power output. The power output is also just read in the manual to. But there are rare exceptions.

@esjayay what if i get a loud hum?

[thehacksrule]

@esjayay the model number of the head unit is p04704383ad

[thehacksrule]

@esjayay powersupply turns on and i got the yellow running into bat and black into acc but what does park mean?

[GreinisGvido]

best car audio setup yet . fanx a lot

[2ryan09]

i got a 2500W amp, what kind of PSU would i need?

[esjayay]

@Anotherlife2 PSU - power supply unit. HEADUNIT - stereo

[Anotherlife2]

The PSU is it a computer PSU? and the Head Unit it is like sound source?

[esjayay]

@Supermociomo The answer is simple. The Red and Yellow wire is coming from the headunit which are joined together . Basically all you have to do is hook up the Yellow from the PSU to the Red/Yellow from the headunit as shown exactly in the diagram.
