Is a second battery required or is it just smarter… cuz I can’t find anything, any wear saying it’s life or dead but I just don’t want to have to get a second battery if I don’t have to. I’m getting a 2400w dual 10” sub with 2000w amp
I agree. You have power going both ways. The reason you fuse the front is the same reason you fuse the back. I mean, why not be safer? Anl fuse block is $10.
I always install a cutoff switch from the battery into the vehicle, I put a piece of wire on the amp for the REM, it's a good idea if you want to preserve your batt life, you can go to West Marine and get a switch 150 Amp Cutoff
What's up Jeff is good to see you backup and moving white out any extra quipment on the planet hope you're feeling well glad to see a video from you I like what you've done with the caddy keep up the content Also take a visit To the garage and show was the Buick let is no household up and how is doing or let me have such a big fan of it thanks a lot keep up the good work stay well
I just bought x2 Skar 10's and a Skar 1200w amp. Going 2ohm. I'll probably get a second battery as well just for stability. Installing in a Silverado so I have a second battery mount already there.
I got the sdr 12 loaded enclosure with rp1200.1 amp as a kit. Do use both speaker hook ups on the amp to the one hook up on the box? So id have to use 2+ & 2- to the 1 hook up on box? Directions aren't very clear since they show multiple amps.
I have a all skar audio and skar accessories ie wires and fuses. They have completely blown away the competition there amplifiers put out the exact amount they advertise or exceed what they advertise I have seen their amps go as much as 400 W over what they advertise so I am a big believer in skar audio. The money I save in buying skar audio equipment I’m able to invest in better and thicker wires sound deadening mat’s Second battery all those really cool fun things to buy that really make a difference I don’t know if you really need an equalizer but it sure is nice to be able to buy one because it sure looks cool in the car. When I get the money to have the equipment Professionally installed at that point I’m going to start making my own RUclips video I think people should know that skar audio is first class equipment straight down the line and I’ll put it up against anything and it seems like people really don’t know that. I’ve had people look at my stereo and say “well it is a skar audio” Meaning “well it is second class” or whatever they were saying they weren’t being kind and then all of a sudden I blow their stereo out the water and I spent a quarter of what they spent. But I am old enough to remember a company called Phoenix gold had just come out and they had some of the best most powerful and clean sounding and cool looking equipment and affordable I was 20 years old put together my first competition car audio my first competition debut and I won first place I couldn’t believe it then as the years went by something happened to Phoenix gold and their amp’s were not affordable and you could not trust the advertisement anymore so just in case same thing happens to Skar audio I’m buying up everything I can as fast as I can for my second build at 53 years old before skar audio has the chance to go the way of Phoenix gold I’m not saying it would I’m just saying it happens The bottom line is it is a great company today but they have a long way to go before they have the consistency and trust that you find in Rockford Fosgate and or kicker. Good luck brother and have fun!
Just wondering is this recommended for all sub systems or just at a certain wattage? Im running 3200 watts over 4 800 watt speakers, so far ive not had any issues with the system and its been in the car for a few years now.
Shouldnt you run a battery insulator for the second battery? Skar audio definitely good bang for the $$ I will be running 2 12" alphard audio defbonce apocalypse on the 4k brazillian apocalypse amp will have to run 4 runs of 0 guage for+ and 4 for -
You should definitely get a second battery so you'll only have to run one long cable to the battery and the rest will be like 5 feet bro. And as for the isolator i never ran one because i always went for spl not just a good reliable setup. The battery will drain faster but if you buy a new one like me you just exchange them.

When ran my Skar RCA s on the back of the radio theirs a red and black output for the RCA s. I plugged the red RCA in the red output but on the amp inputs theirs a L and R. Which one do I plug the positive or red RCA into?
?? How would it work and sound if you took a good 12" home speaker and cut it in 1/2 removing the tweeter and mid range stuff and just left the big speaker end of it, then covered the "CUT" end area back over and hooked an amp to it??
I have a skar 1500 or 2000 watt amp what gage of wires do I need to make them hit re hard? I have some kicker 12s everything works but when I had the speakers hooked up they wasn't hitting hard
I have a skar sdr 15 its only 600 watts rms but it hits hard and I don't have the gain up to half I think its a quarter of the way up but its hitting hard
One thing is you don’t want to mix kinds of batteries and second you need to set the gain with a o scope or a dd1, and Skar Audio is a good company, and red top batteries are not the greatest for car audio, their is a lot better out there for cheaper, fyi I have been installing car audio for about 12 years and been a dealer for RD audio for about 10 years so if u have any question about anything u can message me and I’ll help anyone
Nothing wrong with mixing batteries sizes and brands. Alot of people in comps do it. People run xs power 3100s and 7400s together. Some will run a run of the mill autozone bat with a 3100 out back. Ive seen alot rub optimum nothing wrong with them. Only issue would be running a 16v battery with a 14v battery which even that is not wrong if setup right.

Good job on creating a ground loop for yourself by mounting the amp to the metal...

With the second battery you need a second fuse near it to protect the power wire going back to the front.
