Remote Wire Turn-On Issues?

Posted by Paul Galanos · April 05, 2019

Ever heard that loud THUMP from your subs when you turn on your radio? Ever had your amplifier soft-protect in the middle of BANGIN? Your issues could all stem from your remote turn-on lead from the head unit. Often times the first thing we look at when attempting to self diagnose these types of issues is either loose connections, or loss of power. Often times that little remote turn-on wire can ultimately be the culprit.

The remote turn-on wire from the radio carries a relatively small amount of DC current through it, and in a situation where multiple amplifiers, crossovers, sound processors and other 12v devices are being used, they may starve for the current needed to keep them running at peak potential, having to split the available current in so many directions.

And also, in amplifiers without soft turn-on circuitry, you may even experience a loud thump coming from your speakers upon system initialization. This, while typically not damaging to your equipment, may be an embarrassing nuisance when others are within earshot.

The solution to both of these problems, pending they are your culprit of course, is a Soft Turn-On Relay Installation. This is a very simple procedure involving a single 30a 12v relay that obtains turn-on signal from either your head unit or another trusted 12v ignition source, and allows an outbound signal to be produced with a higher current availability to keep your devices running and running stronger! It also helps avoid hearing that pesky thump on start-up!

What Is Box Rise?

Posted by Paul Galanos · February 19, 2019

Just because your amp produces x-watts at 1 ohm, and you are presenting it with a 1 Ohm load, it doesn't always mean your output will be x-watts. Check out THIS short article from the folks at A-Trend for a more concise explanation of "Box Rise" before you buy your next amplifier.

What's The Big Deal About The Big 3?

Posted by Paul Galanos · February 19, 2019

What in the world is a Big3 Upgrade and is it right for you? Simple answer, a Big3 Upgrade is basically an electrical stress reliever for your vehicle's charging system, so yes it is very beneficial, and sometimes even necessary! Comprised of a series of wire gauge upgrades under the hood, the Big3 Lessens the burden placed on stock wiring, and allows all your 12 volt accessories to function better by lessening the risk of electrical inefficiency. A typical Big3 installation consists of an upgraded power wire between the alternator's charging post and the stock position battery's positive terminal, a Ground wire upgrade from the alternator bracket or engine block to a frame point, and another Ground upgrade from the stock position battery's ground post to a frame point. These 3 short runs of wire make a tremendous difference when improving the overall electrical health of your car audio system.
