Gotcha, I missed that you had 2 12v banks. I see you are a man after my own heart, more power and more luxuries 8) Do your 12v banks have alternate charging capability or only from the alternator? I'm not a 24v expert, or for that matter expert on battery systems. I'm cramming to learn about...

Sorry to pull up an old thread but I've been searching posts for info on setting up my 923a2 as an RV. 6x6Guy, if you don't mind me asking...why did you put the battery isolator between your 12v alternator and 12v batteries? I thought the isolator was used to separate house batteries from...

Cool stuff so far everybody, thanks for the contributions! Do the radios in the ammo can have any heating issues? That looks really convenient, it would be nice to be able to move to other vehicles. That headset/intercom system looks cool. I was planning on a Rugged Radios IC setup but have...

Hi All, well I'm in big trouble....was finally able to purchase my first MV this spring, a 923A2. Of course, after bringing it home I had to "ACCESSORIZE!" so now have LED lighting, stereo with enough volume to hear while driving, CB and antenna. Now I've been bitten by the HAM bug while...

Ah, sorry :) It's one of these, I hope he doesn't mind me posting his thread here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?105228-PulseTech-Solar-Battery-Charger-Monitor(PCMDS)-Waterproof-New-in-Box&highlight=how+to+install+pulsetech

Hi All, just picked up a Pulsetech PDU. It has a 12 and 24V hot lead, plus a ground lead. Did not come with hook up instructions. I am installing in my M923. I am assuming I can use the batteries that have the slave cables attached, run the 24V positive and negative leads to the same...

Thanks everyone for all the help. I am up and running on one converter, with all 12V accessories properly grounded back to the converter NEG. I haven't attacked the CB yet, other than checking voltage. I appreciate all the input, thanks again everyone. Jason

I'd love to be able to get 100 amps. However, I probably need to scale that back, and maybe that is unreasonable without a dedicated 12 volt charging system.

Darn it, I was hoping I could get it to go back in LOL. I was afraid of that :) I had thought about the equalizer as well...may end up going that route. After all the work wiring this puppy though I think I will get another converter and try it again. I also will get another fuseblock to...

Sorry for the sloppy writing, let me know if there are questions. The top line is just going to the 24V bussbar, it didn't scan but I don't have anything hooked to it now anyway. The battery connections are on the batteries used for the slave cables. Yes, I think that I am confused about the...

HI Eagle, I have a 923A2. I have thought about the 12v alternator route. However, I better with wires and electronics than wrenches. Of course, I did just fry a converter so maybe I'm not that great with either LOL. I thought that the converter route would be easier, faster and cheaper for...

Yep, that is correct. I wondered about the 12v and 24v ground both to the chassis being a problem. I still can't figure out though why the converter fried. I guess I need to educate myself more thoroughly on 24v wiring. Is there a good source of info on this?

Sorry to come to the community with another question about wiring. One of my pyle converters fried tonight after getting everything hooked up what I thought was correctly. I have a negative ground feed coming from the 24V neg battery post to a bussbar, both converters 24V NEG wires are...

Nice looking install :naner: I decided tonight while deciding where to mount what...that I needed to remove the "glove box" behind the seatback. 2 hours later the last bolt got to stay in for one more night. Nearly impossible to get a wrench on the nut next to the seat bracket :shock:. I...

Let me know how the 4x10s work out. I looked at those , but from the reviews I wasn't sure how they would mount in the truck. Pioneer used to make truck speakers that surface mounted. I had some in my first truck, and they worked out great. Now the only surface mount speakers I can find are...
