Here are the top picks on Ebay for Distribution Amplifier.
I’m also including a personal review of Distribution Amplifier here.
My subwoofers arent as loud with 4 as they were with 2?
ok i just put a second amplifier and 2 more subs in my car. i used a distribution Distribution Amplifier block to split my one 8 guage to two 8 guage. now it seems that 4 subs sound terrible and arent even near th elevel when i had 2.. do i need a thicker guage power wire? could that be why the amplifier isnt pushing as much wattage to the subs

Lucky you’ve got a tahoe with all that kit – it’s gonna sound awesome.Yes, use any old cable to run the remote and loop it in and out of each amp’s remote connector. (like, the cable goes from the head unit to amp1, back out of the same connector and into amp2 and so on – a “daisy chain”, if you like).Yeah, you could put that one last. If you have to, using RCA splitters isn’t out of the question but is a bit “cheap” . If you want to be really “proper” you could use an EQ that has multiple RCA out’s (like an AudioControl EQS) …with the benefit that you could control which AMPs get which frequencies …etc.Finally, consider putting a 1-farad cap, in line, before your power block (and make sure you install it properly) – that will help prevent any sound quality degredation when those heavy (and power hungry) b-lines hit!
a distribution block is the first thing a 4 gauge wire from the battery to the distributer then from the 2 separators split to 8 gauges to the cap.the capacitor goes to the amps with 8 gauge wires. and the amp goes to the speakers with 14 gauge wires
man a yellow top will last for like 4 hours with the car off pushing that so your alt will hold up
In order to answer the question better I will need to know what size fuses are on your amps. 1. It is always better to use a distribution block. Splicing the wire is very dangerous and could cause future problems with your system.2. You really only need 1 fuse by the battery. If you buy a distribution block it should also have a fuse holder built in.3. Do not splice your wire! 8 Ga cabling can only carry up to 40A of draw from your battery (Do not oversize your fuse anywhere in your circuit to your amps)4. Right the amps only use the power they need to supply your speakers or subs depending on how loud your volume knob is.If both your fuses on your amps total under 40A purchase a distribuiton block and send two 8 Ga outputs to your amps.If both your fuses on your amps total over 40A and does not exceed 100A you will need to purchase a 4 Ga Wiring Kit and a distribution block with two 8 Ga Outputs to your amps
yes, i think you can. The reason is that the trisync and timecode is usually encoded within the NTSC video signal.hope this helps…
Interesting, it could be or could not be depending on your install. And also how well you are able to reproduce the results shown on the spec sheets.
Well you need to find out what wire does each of your amps need because that dis. Block only has 8 gauge wire outs and a 4 gauge in. you may need a larger gauge wire to support three amps. Yes you need a fuse near the battery because that is there to stop the power wire from burning from the battery to the trunk if there is a problem. You will destroy your car with out one. If you amps require 4 gauge wires then that dis. Block will be of no use to you. Refer to your owner’s manual.
The best way to do it is to add an amplifier to run your Pioneer speakers. If you need to, run a splitter (RCA connectors) for your audio inputs from your receiver to your added amplifier.
it comes with 2 distribution blocks.they are both exactly the same.they are one 0gauge inputand two 4gauge outputsim 98% sure this information is correct.but you might want to look into it more.
Use the 4 AWG, bigger is better here. The fuse should be no more than 18″ from the battery. Keep the ground as short as possible. If not bolting the ground to an existing bolt scrape away the paint first. Know what’s on the other side of the hole before you drill. Use lock nut and a star washer.The main fuse rating shouldn’t be much higher than the sum of the fuses on the amp(s). Equal is best.

>If I buy ONE hdtv converter can I connect my antenna to it and then the converter output to my distribution amp? Would this enable all 5 sets te receive the signal?You could hook it up this way but you would see the same channel on all five TVs. Converter boxes only tune into one channel at a time. You would typically use five converters (or DVD recorders with digital tuners) for five analog TVs. The converter boxes that are eligible for the coupon program are not usually referred to as “HDTV converters”. “HDTV converters” implies to some people that you are referring to tuners with “HD” outputs. The coupon type converters are not permitted to have “HD” outputs.

yes it could be the ground wire…but also realize that your stock alternator can usually only handle 500-1000 watts safely before not being able to supply all the power your amps are trying to pull from it. so do your math, add up the need.. and consider doing a BIG 3 change to your car. google search it.oh and capacitors aren’t worth having unless your car is from the 80sthey usually just become ANOTHER piece of equipment that requires electricity to operate.so consider even removing it from your set up.
It’s purpose is not to amplify, but to increase the signal current to DRIVE 4 TV sets instead of 1……That’s why it’s a distribution amplifier….
Not that comes to mind without buying another part.If your computer happens to have a composite video out, plug it into the modulator. I’m guessing you would have already done this…You could get a scan converter to adapt the computer’s output to composite video. Will probably cost about $100 to $200.There are a number of new items (AV receiver, TV, TIVO, etc.) coming to market that allow images to be pulled from a computer if they are connected to the same Ethernet. You might find an inexpensive piece that has this feature.Or maye just get a new DVD player that will play the image from a disc. Probably your least expensive option.Good Luck!

I don’t have a Wii, but it seems to me that if you just set the Wii up to use composite video and get a few of these:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8425661&st=rca+y&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1181832624724(one for video and some more for audio) then you can just split the signals right at the Wii and have the TV and your Gamebridge hooked up at the same time.
