If your headlights blink - then electrical upgrade is needed . U can also have the voltage tested to be sure when the system is playing full blast ..... |

Bronze Member Username: CrashfactoryxPost Number: 19 Registered: Oct-05 | I have a question on this too, I have 0 gauge from my battery to my distribution block (i used to have a 1600 watt amp that I thought would need it), I now only run little amps (POS's at that, cuz I'm poor :P), is it detrimental to have that big of wire to little amps? I fried the 200watt POS VR3 I had, so far the 250watt Sony Xplod is doing alright..anyone? |
