    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    I don't intended to use them both simultaneously. I don't use the HAM around town running errands. I have two high quality marine speakers already installed in the dash. They will do a great job at both if wired up correctly. I could just bypass the HAM and use the built in speaker in the HAM...

    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    Understood... I'm just trying to figure out how I can run the Amp and the HAM on the same pair of speakers. Ideally I don't need to get a separate pair of speakers just for the HAM radio.

    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    The HAM is installed and is working fine. I haven't started using the extensions yet. I installed external speakers as well. There are two outputs for external speakers on the rear of the unit. I assumed this was left/right but it appears to be one for each channel. Is there a way to wire it up...

    Kenwood Installation Cable extension question

    Ok! I’m gonna give it a go. I’m getting the panel mount extensions as I want them flush mounted to the dash. Thank you!

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    Thank you for all our patience and knowledge! I will follow your recent suggestions when I get home from work. Meanwhile I have another question. Currently the two B+ wires are combined into one and they go from the alternator to one post in the distribution box. The stock wiring diagram...

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    Oh! I didn’t connect D+ to B+. I just connected D+ straight to the battery via the distribution block. I can try jumping D+ to B+ when I get home from work this afternoon.

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    I bought three new adjustable regulators that my alternator guy set to 14.7v. When it wasn’t charging I replace the new adjustable with one of my other new adjustable ones. Still not charging. I will retrieve the non adjustable regulator that the alternator came with and test that one. I...

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    I supplied 12v directly to the D+ terminal and barely got any detectable voltage. Does that mean it’s a ground issue or is it faulty alternator or regulator? Could the regulator prevent it from grounding properly? I tested the alt casing before and it appears grounded. I’m getting close to...

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    Thank you! Very helpful. I do have a dual battery gauge that I plan to install. The only reason I hesitate to include the stock distribution block is that previous owners have made some very poor modifications and additions to it and I worry that it will be (or perhaps already is) causing...

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    Here my plan. I am going to temporarily remove the harness wire that connects to the D+ Alternator exciter wire in the distribution box and run a wire directly from the battery. The dash charge indicator won’t work but I’ll know for sure if the alternator works at that time. My question is...

    Correct. The D+ Terminal.

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    I tested the Exciter Circuit this morning. Its the blue wire from the Alternator that is connected to the dash charge indicator light. I've been told this circuit should have 12v when ignition is on or the alternator won't excite a charge. I checked this circuit both at the Distribution block...

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    Thats what I've been wrestling with. I have OJOP Battery Connectors that I want to use for both batteries. I can't use the post mount fuse panels with the OJOP Connectors.

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    I still haven't resolved my alternator issue but I thought I'd share photos of my battery tray mock up for my Mercedes 300GD. Fits two Odyssey 34-1500 batteries with room to spare for Blue Sea Systems ACR, fuses, and Power Posts.

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    That makes sense. The old alternator was stock but had been rebuilt to 88A. It had studs. The new one with 3 prong plug is rated 55A but actual output tested at 65A.

    Blue Sea ACR Wiring Question

    Will do but perhaps you can help me interpret this? Take a look at the screenshot of the wiring diagram. It appears that the two B+ wires from the alternator go to different places. One appears to go to a relay and I can't really tell where the other goes. I'm not good at reading wiring...
