    We have the VCMs back in stock and ready to go with the original applications only. We currently do not have any VCMs for Ford applications.

  5. What does this do? There isn't much info on the website about it and I can't find any info anywhere else. I was told it would raise and hold the voltage of the vehicle it is hooked up in to a set voltage and will regulate it there. Is this true? How high would it hold on a stock 120 amp alternator safely for testing purposes?

    Hi Guys, I am planning to upgrade my car audio, right now I have stock alternator and D3400 at my trunk and my system is Nightshade 12" and 2000watts amplifier. I will be adding 1 more 2k watts amps. Do I need to upgrade or get another D3400 or single D3100 can handle the 4k watts amps? Thanks, Albert

    I have an option to use a step up converter to run at 18.5v. I can't set it any higher or i risk damaging my amps as they are only rated up to 18.5v. Is 18.5v high enough to charge a D1000? If it's not, what is the recommended voltage and how good would 18,.5v be before i would have to top it off myself with a charger? once a week maybe?

  22. Gonna see if I can ask this right. No matter the 12v battery, why are the cells in side of a battery typically rest at 2.17v? What is so special to make this common, yet generic at the same time? Why do we not increase these just a hair, like 2.3v per cell? Why has something like this not been done? I do not understand the build of a battery obviously. @2.3v per cell, we would have a 13.8v battery capable of safely charging around 15.3v. Reason i bring this up is the 14v battery seems like a trial and error install in terms of it "may" work but if it doesn't.. your electronics will get damaged. That's not acceptable so why hasn't\wasn't a less severe approach going from …

    lookin at one of the xs batteries (5100R) and i got a question, the amp rating is based on 14.4V (right?) and im guessing the 12V on the battery is for how much it puts out so does that mean the amp isnt going to get sufficient power?
