05-31-2013, 08:45 PMYou really can't do the 8 volt batteries because you have no practical way to charge them up to or maintain them at 16 plus volts. If you do not...20 replies | 414 view(s) -
05-31-2013, 03:06 PMJD, Certainly all Class D amplifiers is the most important step to improve efficiency (that alone is a 60% improvement). Selecting the correct...8 replies | 153 view(s) -
05-31-2013, 10:37 AMJD, Those things would certainly help. It's also important that the given alternator can produce sufficient amperage at the RPM that you operate....8 replies | 153 view(s) -
05-29-2013, 01:19 PMJustin, A Perfect Pass is very voltage sensitive and is usually the first to act up. That's a normal sign of low voltage. Stereos, and pumps...8 replies | 153 view(s) -
05-29-2013, 01:00 PMGrady, I don't know that amplifier. Check in the manual for the various status LED conditions. If you don't have the manual then do a search...13 replies | 365 view(s) -
