Getting Your Car Amplifier Up And Running

A car amplifier can help you get great quality music from your car audio system with little corruption. Getting one means you can hook up a subwoofer to give your those great bass notes or get better volume from your stereo. If you are looking to install a car amp, but unsure where to start then here are the basic steps to set you on your way.

First: make sure that you have disconnected the wiring from the negative battery terminal. This is vitally important because until you have done this interfering in any way with the electrics of your car is highly dangerous.

Second: purchase an amplifier kit from a car audio supply store. These should have all the wiring necessary for your installation. Check that the wiring is the correct gauge for the power of amp that you have bought (i.e. the RMS). Once you have this kit then you should have all the equipment you need, although you will still require a pair of wire cutters and wire strippers.

Third: decide where you are putting your amp in your car. Although it is tempting to show off your new equipment, the first rule of car security is to keep anything that might be stolen out of sight. It is for this reason that many people choose to put their amps in the car boot or under a seat – like the passenger seat. This keeps them out of sight but does not make wiring in your amplifier more difficult than it has to be.

Next: you should have a red ‘live’ wire and a black ‘ground’ wire. The red wire connects to the positive (+) side of the battery and should have a fuse (of an appropriate size for your amp) within 45 centimetres, or 18 inches, of the battery. This should then run through the firewall of your car, under the carpet, to the amplifier.

The black wire connects to the negative (-) terminal of the amp and needs to touch a piece of clean, bare metal on the car frame – i.e. metal that is not painted or rusty, a metal bolt or screw is a good place to connect to. This wire will also run under the carpet of the car away from the amplifier.

There should also be RCA cables that will connect the amp to the head unit of your stereo. To avoid mix up, keep these as far as possible from the power wires although keeping them under the carpet.

The next step is to link the amp to the main stereo using the blue wire. Connect this to the blue wire of your stereo system and you will be able to access your car amplifier from the head unit.

Finally, connect your amp to the car speakers, again keeping the wires as separate and distinct from the power cables as possible. Once this is done, your amp should be fully operational.

What Ipod FM Car adapter has the strongest signal?

I bought a Kensington FM Ipod transmitter and no matter how empty a station I pick, there’s always static! At first I thought it was just that particular adapter. So I splurged and bought a much more expensive Monster FM adapter, and it still does the same thing! Since I don’t know how to modify my car’s stereo to have a line in for my ipod, does anyone know of any certain FM transmitter that has a really strong signal??

There is not any adaptor that has a strong signal anymore. The FCC has cracked down on these fm transmitters and now they don’t have as strong of a signal. What happened was that the signal on these adaptors was too strong and people could pick up others ipod while driving down the road. Now there is a limit as to how strong the signal can be.
Your best bet is to hardwire your ipod to your radio. Other than that the only way would be to get an older model fm transmitter. Good Luck!!!!

electric car motor information?

a electric car motor that is .440kw per mile. what is the rough actual watts of that motor. this motor info is from a ford electric car.

You must have a wrong Label. Ford’s newest EV has a 23 KW-hr battery that will carry it 100 miles . this means it must consume .23 kw-hr/mile. if electricity costs $.20/kw-hr, you can see it will cost .2 * 23 or $4.60 per fill up.If a similar car gets 40 mpg as required under the newest CAFE standards, it will take 2.5 gallons of gasoline. untaxed gasoline costs $2.00 so a gasoline car will pay $5.00 to fill up. Add taxes to each and gallon and kw-hr to get total costs.

EV motors are rated in KW 1 KW is 1.34 HP. Typically a 50 to 70 KW motor is used if you want to be able to accelerate onto a freeway. A hybrid will have a 20 to 40 KW motor.

The ratings are maximum before the current through the motor without burning up the motor.
