pls help me what amps of relay i will use in 1.5 h0rse power car cash

DIYSG?

No technically what you did is okay but not optimal! It’s cool to do I guess if your in a pinch! Definitely better than nothing however, in lies the problem in which most aftermarket head units sending the audio signal thru their speaker wires(high level outputs) which you resorted to using vs the low level rca outputs, this will cause your speakers to begin to clip(distort) usually at the headunits 3/4 volume level! This is the main reason for using the rca outputs of the headunit to achieve the highest volume and sound quality free of distortion in most cases! For example, my pioneer single din, the volume maxes out at level 62, but the radio begins to clip at anything above 50 when the four colored traditional speaker outputs are in use! However, when sending the audio signals to my amps I’m able to get to 61/62 when using the rca output without any clipping. If I try to go to max 62/62 then it will clip even on the rca’s that’s the trend with these radios. So with that information I hope you can be more aware of your system and electronics to prolong the life 🤓

Guillermo Calix cool, glad we could help. Thank you

+Anivalteddy Cervantes cool!

what connectors are you using to plug the wires into the relay

awdieee thank you very much! Yes you can connect all 3 leads to the relay no problem.

Kevin Groen thank you

You can put 8 amps without putting a relay the relay will actually draw more power than a bunch of amps. I would only install a relay for powering fans and leds with the remote circuit

I'm stuck on this too kinda lol

No unless you added a little fuse to it and a switch otherwise whatever you want to power will never shut off

Yes you can just ask for me.

Yes you will still need to connect to the reverse wire.There is a setting in the you can turn on to view the camera all the time. Check out this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqp_i7F2zZfJeGg.html

Thanks alot. This is why I really like your channel. Fast responses. Wish you were in NJ. Do you know of any Good shops in Northern NJ ?

+ninjamaster2009 yes try Enfig (201-490-5015) ask for Christian, tell him Arty at AAMP sent you.

Thanks you guys answered my question in another video. Thanks again.

I’ve done both before I was just nervous seemed bad so I fused remote wire after daisy chain amp to amp

Did you get an answer? Because I have the same question.

No you don't need a relay

It depends on current draw. Most relays will hand up to a 30 amp draw. So for example if you have 4 amps, a power antenna, and 4 fans 1 relay will do the job.

great, thanks again for the helpful information.

@@FiveStarCarStereoIncI am running two amps and I am going to run LEDs and a fan. can I hook #87 to distribution block for power instead of radio harness and do I need fuses if so what size and where

Good video but u got to step it up to 5 amps in the back front and back up cameras and side mirror cameras fans 13inch kenwood deck ok ok it's a 10 inch kenwood but I keep it clean lol head rest and visors monitors now what

+Lucy Gonzalez yes it is

+Jason Myjak yes. you are nowhere near the limits of the relay. Unless you are powering it with a low current power source.

Five Star Car Stereo Thanks appreciate it!!

Yes that would work fine. We used to put the relays back at the amp all the time. It is easer to service if the relay goes bad.

Thank you

Steven Chua depending on where you get your power source, it would not hurt to fuse it.

Five Star Car Stereo lets say I got it from the radio's remote wire.. fuse it at .5amp? Thanks Sir!

Steven Chua the remote wire out of the radio will not need a fuse. You would want to put the fuse on the feed wire for the relay( the yellow in the video). Keep in mind if you are using the wires behind the radio they are fuse by the cars fuse box.

You definitely don't need a relay on the remote wires, just daisy chain the same remote wire to your 3 amps and epicenter, whatever that is

With 3 amps and a epicenter I would use a relay sorry😢

+shane pavlovsky that is odd, how is the relay wired?

@firebirdude2 is NOT splitting hairs. Amps and Volts are two DIFFERENT things, but related to each other through a simple 3rd grade equation. The most basic fundamental equation of electricity v = ir Volts = Current (amps) x Resistance (ohms Ω) I am always flummoxed by the complete and utter ignorance of people that know nothing about the nature of the devices and contraptions that surround them in their daily life, for instance most people can't explain the difference between AC 120 volts from a transformer feeding a light switch in their home and a 1.5 DC volt AAA battery. If you were to use a hose and a water pump the analogy to v = ir is: Pressure = Flow times the Restriction Up the pressure (volts), you get more amps. But in a car the volts stays at 13.6 (while the battery is charging) so the only way to change the amps is to reduce the resistance. The output voltage of the accessory wire does not change. Resistance is given off as heat at the rate of the square of current i^2r. Heat degrades or melts insulation that causes short circuits. Fuses and circuit breakers protect against short circuits. Wire has resistance. A larger wire diameter wire is required, like a hose, to reduce its resistance. The smaller and longer the wire is, the more voltage drop occurs -- a thin wire has lower voltage on the load side than on the supply side. The more current the load pulls, the greater the voltage drop. If a backup camera only requires milliamps to operate, a relay probably isn't required. The significance of a relay is a tiny amount of current (milliAmps) in two small control signal wires to pins 85 & 86 turns off and on a much larger current through larger wires at pins between 30 & 87 or 30 & 87a in a Bosch-type Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) Form-C configuration. This relay configuration occurs in many, many locations; for the ignition system, engine control module (ECM), powertrain control module (PCM), starter motor, fuel pump, fuel injector system, head lights, horn, brake & parking lights, windshield wiper motor, power door locks solenoids and power seats/sunroofs/power window motors both use dual (2) relays to reverse direction by switching polarity, heated seats, alarm, defrost/heat fan motor, radiator fan motor, A/C clutch, radio and antenna motor, subwoofer amplifier, trunk lid opener, fuel door, cigarette lighter/power port, rear window defrost, windshield washer pump, trailer brake, trailer lights, trailer battery charge, accessory delay, airbag, Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Pump, reverse backup light beeper, air suspension pump, fog lights/LED auxiliaries.

@@JulesBartoware you a truck driver by any chance ?

goingafteru2 in the back at the tail light, you would have to run a power wire.

The wire’s output rating

Josh Feidt what type of car is it

Five Star Car Stereo It is a 2010 Volvo S80

I would verify you have good grounds, and run a good ground from your alternator chassis to your battery.

Basically looking at putting a y connector on the camera input, using bluetooth audio for sound and cam button for video, and still being able to retain the backup camera when put into reverse.

Sorry for the multiple replies, looking to split the RCA to the tip and outside ring on a relay, that will somehow trigger once in reverse to turn on camera (possibly on another relay), but screen mirror my phone when I hit the cam button on the Kenwood using bluetooth for sound when camera is not put in reverse.

Not really necessary.

+Five Star Car Stereo Thank you great videos

Yes

Voltage reverts back to it when the relay is not energized

There would be no problem. The relay would only be needed in cars with a low Acc power output our if you were doing multiple devices on the Acc.( example overhead, power ports, 2 cameras)

Thanks

@@FiveStarCarStereoInc can that 12v acc turn on 4 amplifiers? or does it need a relay? in my other car i had the 4 amps on the remote wire without a relay, had that for about 4 years with no problems

+al mil for output power we use the yellow 12 volt

It sounds like a power problem so yes

great to know... will watch again to do this install.

If you're asking about the remote turn-on wire, you can try looking in the head unit owner's manual. If you're asking about a wire in the vehicle, it's more difficult. You MIGHT be able to find that info from an online resource like AllData or Directechs, but they generally don't list that unless it's something out of the ordinary. You can track down which fuse it's connected to in order to get a rough idea. Also, the wire gauge itself would be a clue. A skinny 20awg wire isn't going to carry the amperage that a 12awg on would, for example.

firebirdude2 so if for example i have a 15 amp remote wire i can run 3 5 amp items or how do i divide the amps properly for like a power stripe and bridg e them the 1st one will have more power or will it divide by the pool of the load ?

He's not "creating" a remote turn-on. He's increasing the current capacity of the remote turn-on that comes from the head unit. The second part was the same situation, but with an ignition wire. Also, this is a SPDT 12V relay. There are many designs. Many will work, but many are overkill. In fact, a SPST relay would have worked for this case.

thanks for the correction

Boyd Reid is the first relay application for 2 amps??

It can be used to turn on many many amplifiers. A standard Bosch SPDT automotive relay is good for 30+Amps of current. An audio amplifier takes anywhere from 3-40mA of current to power up. In other words, you could turn on nearly 100 amplifiers with that one relay.

3.6L Dodge Avenger relays for cool little helper

wait what? I get a Free relay? I was only just saying it looks like a relay for a motor control for an assembly line. I'm sure that manufactures use relay designs for different purposes. I meant no offense.

3.6L Dodge Avenger non taken, I went and looked at the relays you were referring to. They look like big versions for of the ones we use. Very cool. Last year I had to replace a AC on one side DC on the other for my Air conditioner, I never knew they made such a thing.

Five Star Car Stereo relays comes in all sorts of shapes and sized.

That runs from the battery dude you gotta be joking

Amazon look up SPDT or single pole double throw relay

Hey when u tap on ur link it takes u to alcohol bartending lol what gives

@@MILO20121 www.bcae1.com/relays.htm

speaker zedan it allows you to take a low amperage circuit and turn on a switch to a higher amperage circuit. So for example if you had a 1 amp output circuit and you needed a 10 amp circuit, you would add a relay. This is the most common use for it in car audio.

+speaker zedan Go to *www.bcae.com* (Basic Car Audio Electronics). See Topic #36 on Relays located in the menu on the right-hand side of the page. There are Diagrams & Photos to illustrate Relays & How they Work on the web page.
