I have a plasma table that I will be making some custom brackets for the sound bar to be able to mount on main pillar A and have the bracket extend out far enough to clear the windshield wiper motor. Will post some pics when it’s gets warmer here and I start putting everything together.
I’ve actually spoken with the manufacturer and they said it was drawn incorrectly in the manual and 20 and 30 were the correct requirements. The speaker setup I got from the guy who sold me the humvee as he was going to install it with a Orion 2412 70a comnverter. I have the 200a dual alt. While...
The exact load is a wetsounds 200 watt sound bar and 300 watt sub + a small phone charger and backup cam. About 50amps. And where I do agree a light load would be acceptable I feel a full 50 amps may be too much from a center tap. While the 14v tap would probably serve its purpose while its...
Without offending anyone, can someone explain why half the planet suggests taking 12v from the main batts and the other half says never to do it as eventually it will create problems? I understand electronics fine but I’m not an engineer to be able to weigh the facts and create a basis either...
I updated the drawing showing common grounds. Also beginning to think that eliminating the converter all together OR only having the converter is the way to go. Not sure I like the backfeed thru the converter when its running
Ironically im an electrician, and a controls guy at that. So any relays or contractors and wiring is no problem, but i dont see needing any of those with the setup. That’s the whole reason I’m posting is to get others opinions and eyes on my design. I really appreciate all the feedback so I’m...
Been doing a bunch of reading and end result is best advice is not to grab power from the 12v between batts. Leaving only the converter as the option of an actual power source when the vehicle is off. There is no 12v from the alternator unless its running. The beast is quite noisy and if i run...
The objective would be the small 3rd battery would be fine while the humvee is running put out 50a but if i happens to turn it off and run the audio its going to dream quickly so by having the converter would give me power from the main batts temporarily
That was just suppose to show to common ground. Just happened i drew the other battery right next to it. All of the grounds will be actually bonded and the same.
200a dual voltage alt.
Hey all... common 24v to 12v question here but I’ve yet to see a thread with the conclusion I’ve come up with and am looking for feedback on my setup. Basicly I’m looking at utilizing the 14v output of the alternator to a seperate 3rd battery and using another 24v to 12v...
