connersdad19 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 here is my story i have this http://cgi.ebay.com/TSUNAMI-RDS9100-UNIVER...1QQcmdZViewItem and i hooked it up today but it says my voltage is 8.7 when i go back to the amp it says 14.05 anyone know what could be wrong? when i check my wires that go to the tsunami connector and put my dmm on the pos and neg it reads 14 but not on the unit. i bought this brand new 4 or so months ago and dont have the packaging or anything. and i cannot seem to find the manual online anywhere.... today i hooked it up to just my starting battery and it still was reading 8.7 any help is appreciated.

EricM9104 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 does the volt meter (not dmm) have to be calibrated? i know stinger volt meters have to be calibrated to show correct voltage.

Toxiccasper Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 the dmm should be set on 20 not 200 but thats besides the point lol either it has to be calibrated or it could just be a defective one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connersdad19 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) yeah i know how the stingers ones are from what people have told me on ca.com etc....i just dont have the manual anymore and cant find online....and need to find someone who has one lol.... off topic but whats the difference between 20 and 200 lol. me = noob with dmm lol not sure what could be wrong here Edited July 27, 2008 by connersdad19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxiccasper Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) if you think the voltage is around 200 then you put it on that basically it just moves the decimal so you get get a more accurate reading *edit* wat is the blue wire hooked up to?

connersdad19 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) tomorrow i am gonna try it with just hooking it up to the battery and see if it reads normal voltage without the remote. well i just found out on the tsunami's that its just hook up and go...someone also mentioned it could be the spot i have my remote wire hooked into...

Toxiccasper Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Is that where it is supposed to go? Why would they have 4 different places for a remote wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxiccasper Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 so take a wire from the amp positive and put it in the place of that blue wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
