Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: How NOT to install ICE !!
« on: 28 January 2008, 20:45:25 »
120 watt amp on 4 channels will draw 40 amps
120 * 4 div by 12 = 40 amps
AWG 8 should be ok but depends on the lenth of the cable also I went for AWG 6 with a lower rating fuse to make double double sure it was fine
forgot to say may amp does not pull as many amps as yours so i can get away with a low fuse mine is only 80 x 4 so pulls 26 odd amps

QuoteSplx = Nasty cheap garish chav amp. Big claims and low quality (and price). Not recommended.
MacAudio = Slightly better than Splx. Again, not recommended.
Blaupunkt = Better.
If you are looking to run a set of Infinity 605's (up front I presume) then I would suggest a 2 channel amp producing around 30-40w rms.
You don't need more than that.
I would also recommend a small sub to get the best out of the system.
Here are some recommended amps going cheap.

« on: 26 September 2007, 13:01:45 »
Just a quicky When I was unplugging My power Sounder as it was setting off the alarm all the time i unplugged the wrong one and i had just the indicators flashing away when i set it off, I replugged the horn sounder back in and unplugged the black box power sounder and everything seems fine now.
Take your horns/sounders out and run 12V through it and see if it sounds if not down to the scrapper or ebay

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: heated seats
« on: 13 September 2007, 22:26:31 »
My heated drivers seat element snapped and burnt through the seat and my jeans and into my arse.
The only way i got around it was to rip the seats out and put in MV6 leathers with working heated seats.
I have heard there is a way to fix them but its a real pain unpicking the seat stitching and re stitching it
