    Amp repair question

    no. i did not say that. i even gave you a super dumbed down link to help get your head around how an amplifier works. You are in the wrong field of AMPLIFIER REPAIR as you are asking what simple resistor/capacitor circuit components are. This post belongs in AAC. ( all about circuits. com; im a...

    Amp repair question

    I hate to be the bad guy, but if you dont know what those components are, your in the wrong field. I get it. some people have held a soldering iron, made a simple repair and had success. Amp repair is a different story unfortunately. If your still interested, this is the best help i can give:

    Anyone following the Steve Meade vs EMF audio DD1 drama??

    Its ok tbh. i have one, and figured it out. Ive never tested it head to head with a legit scope for accuracy, but for my sub amp, it works great for a re-purposed mp3 player at $60

    Stinger voltmeter?

    Stinger voltmeter?

    I just looked up a "stinger" volt meter, and seen most have 3 wires! thats the reason i wasnt getting it. I only have 2 wire voltage gauges, hence my diagram in post #2, and the 3 wire has its own turn on. Sorry Popwarhomie, wasnt trying to be a d*ck,

    Stinger voltmeter?

    Not sure i follow.. I assumed you were using the remote terminal, and ground to turn on the voltmeter when i wrote the comment above. Otherwise, you would use Batt and gnd from amp which will keep the meter on until battery is depleted. How are you sure that the remote voltage coming from the...

    Stinger voltmeter?

    ive always added a relay to my volt meters, as i really dont care what the headunit output voltage is, as it may not always be the same as the Battery/amp terminal. I dont know if there is any influence such as capacitance that can give a false reading from what amp actually is seeing. better...

    Looking for a new double dinn, help me find it.

    Maybe this was a stupid question, as 49 views and no recommendations?  What "product" will it take to make my steering wheel controls work with an aftermarket headunit?
