Mobile Amp Question


I wish I could find someone selling a 2×8 mobile linear or2×6, asap, just that I learned the hard way now I need to see it work first $800.00 don't grow on trees I chalked it up that time no more anyone serious with something not halfway dead I'll buy Dave made fat boy
 
If you drive a lot and dont key a lot you'll be ok. Your stopping distance will be adversely affect by all that weight.
 
The truth is you can easily run a 2X8 with the right additional alternator and regulator, without a single battery inline! Up to 21 transistors have been run on one 250 amp alternator with nothing more than a lightweight capacitor bank to filter out the ripple. The regulator is modified to energize the field only when keyed so voltage is removed when the load is. The regulator also uses a diode to pulse the field from the stock 12 volt source in order to start the alternators magnetic field under load since no battery voltage would be present to do that.
