Need to understand what I would need to wire in my Amps into a island BBQ.  I know I need some type of AC/DC converter, but not sure what exactly.  I'm assuming some that outputs 12+volts.  The other question is around wiring.  I'm assuming I would wire the positive from the AC/DC converter to the + of the AMP and then wire a negative to the BBQ steel frame?
Thanks,
KOREDISH

Re: Installing Amps into BBQ Island - Need Help
depending on the amps you are using you will need a large power supply and they are not cheap.  no I would run the neg straight to the amp rather then the grill.

also be sure to keep them from the heat...  Take a look at the fuses on the side of the amps and you will need a power supply that can carry that amperage.

You can get the Kinetik 80amp, 13.6v PS on the Bay for $279.99 shipped. I have the same PS for an upcoming install, but am also using a Kinetik 600 battery in conjuction with the PS.KOREDISH wrote:I'm using tantrum 300 or 500s.ttocs wrote:depending on the amps you are using you will need a large power supply and they are not cheap. no I would run the neg straight to the amp rather then the grill.

Re: Installing Amps into BBQ Island - Need Help
Power supply has + and - cables coming out of it. Hook it up to those like you do in a car, with fuses of course. Pretty easy after that... just plug it in and away you go! Definitely do NOT ground to your BBQ

bet the speakers would pop when you hit the ignitor, be easy to test them anyway...
