Battery isolators are those alternator and trouble saving devices that separate your primary battery system from your auxiliary battery. Most people run their amplifiers and added accessories from a secondary amp to lighten the load on other factory installed devices. Here is a look at how they work and why they are important.

The diode based isolators are basically two high current diodes. These diode isolators are known for their durability and long life, and seldom fail. They do however sacrifice a little power due to the 0.5 volt drop of the incoming charge. This voltage drop will keep the battery from reaching maximum charge, but will allow it to maintain a high enough charge during peak use to keep your headlights and other devices from dimming, and power your amplifiers and added accessories.

In the realm of car audio, the possibilities are endless. There are hundreds of brands and thousands of products out there. Majestic Modifications would like to help restore some order to the chaos of building your system. Lets look at some of the components that make up a car audio system.

The Head Unit

The Head Unit is the brains of the operation. Without this component, your car audio system can’t and won’t work. The head unit is the central processing device in the system. The head unit controls all the functions in your car audio system. Music too loud? Turn down the volume. Too soft? Turn it up. Want more bass? Add bass input. In addition to volume, bass, etc., the head unit may contain other systems within its casing. These include: tuner, cassette, equalizer, CD or amplifier.

One of the best things you can do for your car audio system is to properly tune it. There are several variables to consider when doing this, and I am going to walk to through the most important ones so you will have a good understanding of how to get the most “bang” for the buck from you system.
