can I run a kenwood home stereo with a mini-sub and charge about 4 devices at the same time? ill be running it off a brand new car battery solely, not my actual car battery, so I want to get an idea if it would blow the fuses from running too much...

I use a CPAP (breathing machine) in our camper and it works well for my machine and my wife who use a similar machine. Our deep cell battery makes it through the night and have had no problems. I don't know how long your items would last, but it works well for my applications. Should work well for charging and listening to your stereo. Hope this helps. Just remember this is an 800 watt device.

I would get two 4 ohm subs. I have two 4 ohm single voice coils Kenwood subs running the amp in series and it sounds great. Getting two 2 ohm subs might bring the impedance too low. Hope this helps.

I have an additional thought to your answer Kurt. While it may be true that the unit auto switches from 12 to 24 volts for two batteries. If more than two batteries are involved (in 24volt configuration) Additional batteries would have to be by two and in parallell. If you start with one battery (12 volts), just keep adding in parallel. Personally I would just assume hook up one battery at a time ...charge it up fast...then hook up the next one.

Depends on what size subs. This amp would put out 250 watts continuous to each sub. S subs are pretty powerful so you might need the 1800 watt Kenwood amp which I believe does about 900 continuous or 450 per sub

Good question and I don't fully know. What I do know is there is more than 2 amps coming from the wall, or car, so it's not limited at the source. Does it have the right chips to fully deliver that, I think so, but that's just from use. When I use 2 devices at the same time, the 2 amp one always charges faster. Not a scientific answer but it's what I know. Love this product btw.

Not sure I understand the question, but if you mean can it charge two batteries at the same time, the answer is no. That said, it charges quickly and it has not been a problem doing them one-at-a-time. Great charger!

This would work great for that. I use mine during power outages to run a fan and charge my phone. It'll run a small fan all night and a larger box fan for about 5 hours. A stereo should run a lot longer than that.

It is a quite impressive 5 channel amp for the size and price. It will power as many subs as you would like provided you can wire them correctly(ohms law). Although I would agree with josh below, one is probably best. I am using one dual voice coil sub at 2omhs It only has one sub channel output if that is your question. I was so impressed with this amp when I bought it for my truck, I bought two more, one for the Camaro and one for the boat. I threw away or gave away every other amp I had.

I have a special charger for my R/C truck (duratrax onyx) that can be programmed for all types and sizes of batteries, so I don't have any problem with batteries overcharging. I purchased 5 additional LiPo battery packs for the quadcopter real cheap and they work great. The enemy of batteries is the charger - it's worth while to go with a programmable charger for any rechargeable batteries you own. I bought a cheap 5-way splitter to charge multiple batteries for my quadcopter at the same time and it works just fine. But, you need to have a good charger that doesn't overcharge. Otherwise, your batteries will puff up and their life will be shortened. Another advantage of a programmable charger is that the charge time is much shorter. I can charge one battery in as little as 35 min, or around 60 min at a lower mah rating (which will help the battery last longer). Look for a charger on Amazon - you can find them for around $35. I just cut the end off my 5-way splitter and put a plug on it that's compatible with my charger. Just keep the polarity correct and you're good to go. BTW - if you charge multiple batteries, I would make sure each is equally used, ie dead, then boost the mah rating according to how many batteries you're charging at once. I would charge one battery pack at 0.5 mah, but use 1.0 mah for 2 packs. Make sure the voltage is set correctly, as well as the type of battery (ie LiPo, Nimh, etc).

For "real" stereo, one speaker plays left and one right but one speaker alone sounds terrific to me. Go ahead and get one....you will end up getting another if you don't want to carry a speaker (though very light weight and not really a problem) from room to room.I think you will love one or two. I asked the company (excellent email response in less than 24 hours) about using more than 2 and that is not possible now but the company rep forwarded my suggestion to the techie types as a possiblity.aah

After years of advancing in car audio i would never use a Farrad battery again. Not even on a small build, IMO its a waste of $ and time. Upgrade main battery with the big 3 0 gauge used for best performance on a small system.I run a HO alt, 4 batteries, 12 fuses, 100+ feet of 0 gauge OFC wire, I have a couple grand in electrical system.

Can the Energy Take 5.0 rear speakers be connected wirelessly? If so, what would it take to do this? I have a Sony STR-DH 800 receiver which is S-air ready, and I already have an active subwoofer, so only need 5 speakers. Thanks for you help.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but I will try my hardest to answer. You have to have the radio sitting in the base in order for it to charge. You can not just plug the wire directly into the radio. You can charge only one at a time. One awesome feature, though, is that the rechargeable batteries are AA size. So if they do go dead, just replace them with some Energizers until you can get back to charge them. One thing that sucks is that you basically have to have it plugged in to a computer to charge...ooooooorrrrrr...use your wall charger from an iPhone.

I'm powering my car stereo (200 Watts max) and a small amplifier (30Watts RMS) driving a 10in sub in my room, and it's not cutting off. As long as the radio doesn't use more than 5-7 amps it should be good.

Yes you can run one and You need an amp. Which means running power. Look at the alpine mrv m500 or kenwood kac8105d.run this in parallel for a 2 ohm load final and either make 2 cubic foot box ported. Belva makes a nice sealed pre made 1.7 cubic foot box but honestly building one is way better.If you have an further questions about installation or anything else let me know somehow! Best of luck and Merry Christmas

i have no idea what you people are talking about!!car battery and speakers do not interconnect at any point audio reproduction is all about modulation of voltage (A/C) car battery is as direct current as you can get (D/C) put a car battery on any peaker and you get a half a stroke until you burn through the COIL/Sall any speaker requires is a radio deck or an external amplifier!!!!

No it is for a car , not a home. I would look for a home stereo EQ. There will be a lot of problems you will encounter trying to make that work, for one, the power supply for the 12 volt unit. There may be a way to do it for someone with good know how. But I think you would be more satisfied with a home unit you can just plug and play.
