    You need more pics of the amp,including the insiide.

    When you say need, do you mean its mandatory for him to put multiple pics and taking the back cover off(which I mind you usually voids warranty) just to sell it?

    No Offense or anything, but rarely you see gut pictures when selling, unless there is a defect, and/or customer requests it.

    And I've sold two amps for a total of $1800, one on here and one of CA.com, and I've never showed the inside. One amp I didn't even take out the box because it was new. Just opened the box and took pictures that way with user name and date.

    Anyways, OP, GLWS.

    I have a brand new aq2200d sitting right in front of me and there isnt anything that says removing this panel will void the warranty.

    i will take more pictures if needed just thoughed it wasnt, thats all have nothing to hide but honestly if your not intrested in my amp, then you shouldnt say anything,but im more then willing to take pictures to people that want it though, no problem there i will admit my username does look small but i will take more pics if really needed

    thanks for bumping though :fing34:

    If you want to sell it fast you need pics not just words.

    If you truly have to "monitor" your voltage I'd suggest turning your gains down or upgrading your alt. Being in a situation where monitoring is required isn't acceptable.

    This was the basis for this discussion and the statement is the most important one here.

    Never did I state not to use a gauge, but it is no more important than other gauges. If you "have" to watch a gauge it means you are expecting a failure. I personally would make sure the design is such that you don't expect one and is a much better idea than monitoring it to make sure. As for the protecting the thousands you spend on a system, there are other more expensive repairs that can happen as well. Does everyone monitor their transmission temp, engine oil pressure, gas/air mixture and so on? Any one of those systems failing is surely going to create more expense than an undervoltage on an amplifier. So which do you add first? If you answer any other way than the one you expect to most likely fail your answer is idiotic. If you design your system such that you create the voltage scenario as the one most likely to fail, I'd change your design before adding a meter which was my original point.

    So yeah, meh on blindly recommending a meter. Install/design the system correctly instead.

    He needs to blow a few subs and amps before he learns.like my nephew.

    I understand what your saying but even so it will be more of a strain on the alt. Discharge a regular battery and then discharge one twice its size and the bigger batt takes more to charge. Hence more of a load on the alt.

    They are hooked together as one battery it will only put a bigger load if one of the batteries is bad. Same thing will happen if your one oem bat goes bad , it puts a bigger load on the alt.

    I've watched over and over on YouTube how to wire two batteries in a car.

    I'd have one as my main starter battery and one in my trunk.

    Do I just have the positive from my main battery go to the positive on my second battery? (fused of course) and the negative just go to the ground and I'm all set?

    And another question, having this battery setup, will it put more stress on my alternator?

    Thanks I appreciate the help.

    Here is a diagram that may help you

    I run a positive and negative from battery to battery. Each battery is also grounded at the frame.

    A battery does add an extra load to an alternator when the battery(s) needs a charge.

    Depending on your system demands, from my experience dual runs of 1/0 +&- from battery to battery is worthwhile. Two batteries wired in parallel can discharge much more amperage than what a single run of 1/0 +&- or a 300a fuse can handle. Just a thought.

    If you run it like you only had one bat the load would be the same.
