Car Audio Amplifier Rack REBUILD! HOW TO wire multiple amps & add fuse blocks!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 гру 2024
- On a past project I built and wired this custom amplifier rack that used to feature a subwoofer amplifier, two 2 channel amps, and a DSP. I am redoing the build and switching up gear, can I reuse the existing amp rack and add a new DSP 8 channel amplifier? Let's find out!

I recently ordered 60 ft of ofc1/0 from KnuKonceptz & I also got the same 2 distro blocks. Glad i saw your videos about KKonceptz! I cant get over how flexible this 1/0 is & 5145 strand ofc! Awesome wire! I wrote a review on Ebay. Awesome job on your amp rack! Best car audio dude on UA-cam!
I have something like this setup for my 2019 Dodge Challenger. I mounted a TwK-88 with a JL Audio RD900/5 connected to power with a similar power block. I have the factory audio from an adapter coming in via digital cable to the Twk unit. The amp alone powers my Infinity speakers and a dual 12" JL Audio subs. Except for one minor change, this is a perfect setup for me. Cost me a bit, but 5 years later, it still works awesome. Keep up the great work here as always Mark.
Thanks Mark. Awesome video. The wire caddy is dope.💪🏽
Glad you liked it!
Showing off with the Allen Key skills 😮 yea, I'm jelly 😂
You didn’t use ferrules!?🤯 that’s not like u mark lol😂
I address this in the video
@@CarAudioFabricationI heard! LoL you said it not the usual set screw style terminal! I was just kidding! Keep up the great work!🫡💯
@@CarAudioFabricationcould have used a fork type connector, or a ring.
😂
Did you custom make those RCAs out of 8 gauge? That looks sick.
Very informative, I am working on upgrading my current setup and this helps, thanks. Question: I currently have a Class D Mono (150A) and 1 Class A/B 4CH (70A) these are fed by 1 1/0AWG to a distributor (2x 4AWG), I am adding a second Class A/B 4CH (70A). Can I just upgrade the main fuse (Currently 250A) to a (300A) and upgrade my distribution blocks or should I run a new 4AWG wire and fuse to power the new Amplifier?
So I'm now looking at speaker wire rca etc and being that you've helped me out I'm looking at knukonceptz what is the better of their range 14awg in an suv running stupid amounts of loudspeakers amps subs
We switched to selling the Arc Blackbird almost exclusively since i can't stand the printer style harness and the input/output mixer on JLs software....other than those gripes the VXI are solid pieces.
Awesome work 💪 thank you for explaining how to setup rca inputs for a 3 way front stage and rear co-ax speakers. I have put off setting up my arc audio blackbird because i was unsure about it
Mark, do you still suggest using the Large Wire Ferrules to connect the ends of the power wires, both ground and source, from the connection block to the amps on each end?
What's your process/method to connect the speaker wires from the JL Audio VX800/8i output to the existing speaker wires?
Great information videos helped me install a system in my honda accord way cleaner than I would have without it. Do you have more on relays?
Yes, a few videos on the channel breaking them down in detail
where can you get that fuse block your using under the jl amp?
I just upgraded my speakers in my 20 malibu. The shop put in a 4ch alpine Amp with all four 2way speakers in the doors. I thought they put component speakers in the front, but no, they put in 2way 6.5 alpine and still got the factory tweeters in the front panels still active. Should I leave it or disconnect the factory tweeters?
If you had to use all 8 channels how would you do it? Split signals ? Could you do a build that consists of a lot of speakers ?
I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate so I can explain?
@@thatguykai479 depends on the car, but the setup @caraudiofabrication is showcasing uses 6 channels for the front speakers and 2 channels for the rear door speakers
I think he is asking how the channels are split? Like are there 4 left speakers one for tweeter, one for mid woofer, one for back door, another for 6x9s and the same for the right? He may be used to 4-6 channels or a stock system. I am also curious though.
Nvm idk what he and I are asking either
@@CarAudioFabrication what the other guys said is what I’m asking a stock headunit only has about 4 channels worth two front two rear I’m curious as to if u needed to split the signal to power the extra speakers remaining that are not in those OEM spots for example a custom A pillar or custom doors that are not typically in the car the extra two or 4 however many extras are being used how would u power them ?
Awesome..
I always appreciate your good information 💪🏾💪🏾💯🔥
That rca hide box is so awesome that I would probably hide all of the rca to rca connections in it. Edit…I see it’s covered now so never mind. :)
Will you do a tuning video as well i juat did a DSP amp and im clueless on how to tune and i cant do 800 bucls for a tune.
Check out my full tuning video here ua-cam.com/video/MSxRh9vx0mM/v-deo.htmlsi=rvtwQT9mA9bhBUmV
@@coolme241 grab an oscilloscope LM2020 or E282 I believe is the name both are the exact same model O scope very easy to learn how to use to precisely tune your system for 50-70 bucks
@@firebender3092 sorry just figured in a “dsp amp” u needed to worry about voltage and gain especially when it comes to volts your sending into the dsp amp I guess not with a dsp just cuz your setting crossovers,equalizers, time alignment etc doesn’t mean u don’t need to tune the “amp” itself still
Reuse good
What type of material is the board?
Discussed in video and link in description
I saw a guy use a breaker instead of a fuse. Is that possible instead of using fuses? Just curious.
Yes. I personally use a fuse after my breaker depending if my amps are internally fused and if your distributor block is fused. But I use a breaker so quickly disconnect my power without removing the terminal
Yo i need help, i got a Vector Lanzar """"2000w"""" 4 months ago but it doesn t work anymore,can someone suggest another cheap but good amplifier unfortunately i only got like 200€ budget
I don’t see ferrules on the 0 gauge ofc.
Watch the full video, I discuss this in detail
🔥👍💯
1)
Are there any 8-12Ch DSP amps out there with a .0017% THD. I have them for my home but can’t seem to find one for my car audio
Of course just be prepared to spend a couple thousand.
