Get the correct power supply. If you continue, you may be risking a fire

Q:My setup is an alpine MRX-M100 powering 2 alpine type R 12's on 4 ohm, and also an old eclipse PA 5422 speaker amp. The main thing is I have 4 gauge running from my battery to my amps, but I have this sort of distribution block that turns the 4 gauge wire into 2 8 gauge wires. I know that this probably isn't the best for the MRX-M100, but it's all I had or what I could afford at the time. The main thing I wanted to ask was is this bad for the amp, and what would it be like if I had 0 gauge coming off the battery so then it would be 4 gauge going to the amps? Would it be louder? Could I turn it up higher? because right now if I turn up the volume past a certain point the subs will just stop playing. If I just shut off my head unit and turn it back on they start up again. Your thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated!

The thicker the cable the more power you can get to the amp...

Q:I'm 1000% positive that it's not my monitor's problem.

maybe you put it back together wrong. here's a tip- next time you decide to do something like that, make sure you know what you're doing!

Q:i have an amp with an 80a fuse i figure i shoud use a power cable with a 100a inline fuse what guagee should i use? also can i get two 8 guage wires with 50a inline fuses both to the ampthanks guys

I also use an 2 channel amplifier with an 80amp fuse on board (I'm running two of them actually). If you are only running the one amplifier, 4 gauge cable is a safe option. If you're going to be running more amps, go 0 gauge. The only time you'd look at running multiple power cables from the battery is if your audio application demands it (like SPL cars, that run anything in excess of 4 amplifiers with MEGA continuous running power and also running multiple batteries at that, too). I don't think you're going that far, so the single run would be sufficient. From your 4 gauge cable, run a distribution block with however many points of 4 gauge cable running to your other amps. Hope this helps you :)

Q:I dont get any power to my amp. If something is pinching the line could that make it not get any power? Or could there be something else wrong?

RE: a thank you to make vehicle audio equipment clearer ( make bass in simple terms pass to subwoofers.)? I in simple terms positioned 2 10 inch Kicker L7's into my vehicle with a 1300 watt amp. those subs band somewhat difficult and that i like them yet, I even have one situation. as quickly as I attempt to look the music loud the front audio equipment start to grow to be distorted. i will't be sure a thank you to deliver the bass just to the subwoofers. I...

Q:I'm gonna build a pc, the graphics card is an XFX Radeon 6970 and the power supply is a cooler master 750w. Im new to this and I dont want to buy a cable online and have it be the wrong one

You don't need to buy any special cable for it. ...

Q:I have a usb powered cup warmer. It has a car adaptor. I would like to know if its possible to use it to charge my cellphone in the car, instead of buying a car adaptor.

The max power you can draw from a USB port is 2.5W (500 mA at 5V)

Q:Is it safe to connect the case fans in line with the hard drive, or should I use a separate power cable?

Well it is always better to seperate circuits when they are related to hard drives even data cables as hard disk take loads of data bus and power.

Q:I've had this laptop (Dell Studio XPS 1640) for about two and a half years, and I've been through three power cables. The first one was a no-brainer, since the end was wearing a lot and you could see the wires. The past two have basically just stopped working for no obvious reason. The blue light on the end of the cord still lights up blue, but my computer says plugged in and not charging. I just bought a brand new one less than four months ago and it's worked perfectly until this past week. Has anyone else been having this problem with similar laptops? And if so, is there anything I can do besides wasting more money on a new cable?

I would suggest your take your adapter in to your local computer store and they can check it out. If your adapter is working but your still not getting current then the problem is inside your computer and it will need to be sent for repairs... Source(s): CompTIA A+ Computer Professional

Q:Hi, my old laptop has broken: when i try to put the power cable into the socket on the laptop, it only goes in on a certain angle and never stays there even when taped, so its impossible to get the laptop on for more than a few seconds. I've tried different power cables too, and nothing seems to work, so it must be the actual laptop problem... how can I get the laptop to stay on to retrieve some photos that I have got on there? Thanks

I would remove the hard drive.Take the hard drive and your new computer to an electronics store and buy a USB crossover adapter plug. That should allow you to hook the old hard drive to your new computer. It would be like have an external hard drive. I did it a few years ago. I was told recently that the newer computers are not compatable that way. Also, if you have different operating systems the new computer may not be able to read the old hard drive. The other option is to have the power supply socket repaired. Some small independant repair shops can fix the problem relatively easy and cheap.
