AGM batteries not only perform better, but they are much safer as they are sealed units, with no risk of spillage. They can safely be set up in the same area as humans without fear of acid spillage or fumes, and require no maintenance. Gel batteries use a gel electrolyte inside as opposed to the led acid types, and this gel is more capable of a great depth of discharge without damaging the battery.
One downside of Gel batteries is that they require a lower charging voltage than lead-acid and AGM batteries, so you need a very specific charging setup for them. But overall, they tend to be more robust and long lasting than both lead-acid and AGM batteries if set up correctly with the right charging apparatus. They come with numerous advantages over other lead-acid and sealed AGM batteries.
They are much lighter, they charge very quickly, they can handle a very regular significant depth of discharge. Hopefully, this article has given you a broader understanding of how to double battery systems work. I would recommend you have any wiring done by a qualified auto electrician, and at the very least, get their advice on how to accomplish what it is you need. When you muck around with electricity without knowing what you are doing, you can risk either your own safety or that of the gear you are working on.
If you can afford it, adding a DC to DC charger will have so many configuration options and serve you well on all your travels. They are a good investment.
And as much as a couple of deep cycle Lithium batteries would be incredible, you could also be well served by a deep cycle AGM, which works well, but is very heavy! Overall, in most situations, we recommend a good quality compressor fridge for most camping applications, but you will need a good 12v battery and solar system to keep it going.

When recently reviewing some camping products, I saw one product that used to be the Waeco brand, now referred to as a Dometic product, and in other cases a Dometic Waeco product. What happened to Waeco Brand? Your generator is an important tool, providing a reliable source of electricity on the go.
There is justone problem. These can be very loud devices. Nothing will disturb the tranquility of a camping tripmore than the motor of a generator.

Thread starter rdomain Start date Dec 18, For my main heavy rhythm tone, I always do. Does anybody have any extra tips to maximise this setup? I usually run a higher gain amp with a lower gain amp and pan each amp hard L and R.
I then sum the 2 paths back to one for post fx. I seem to be having more trouble than usual with the Axe FX II than I did with the Ultra with regards to getting fat, warm and heavy tones.
Don't know what it is. Higher res amps have more top end? Main tones I don't like are harsh tops and thin sounding. Time to go for a ride on my pushie to give my ears a break and come back fresh. Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you forfeit the High Res. Feature when running 2 amp blocks??? I converted from dual amp to just dual cab for high gain and I'm never going back. Im with the original post. I'm a dual amp setup guy and I'm having a much tougher time in Axefx 2 to get a dual amp tone right.
If your head unit is lacking these extra outputs then there are several other options. If your amplifiers will be powering dissimilar speakers subs, mids, tweeters, etc. Sub-bass frequencies would be sent to the subwoofer amplifier and high pass signals would be passed to the other amplifiers.
The crossover will have built in line drivers which will increase the voltage of the low level signal. This can help lower the noise of the system. Some amplifiers will have an RCA pass through circuit which can be used to drive another amplifier in the system. These are sometimes filtered which has the benefits of an active crossover without the extra equipment or installation expense.
If you are using a filtered output make sure that it is adjustable or that it is at least at a useable frequency for your system design. The least desirable method is the RCA cable Y adapter or splitter. The drawback is that the signal voltage is also split so that each component is now getting a smaller low level signal which may increase the noise in the system.
Aftermarket head units provide this but it is recommended that you do not connect more than components directly to it. This is because a head unit turn on circuit can only supply about mA on average. Most electronic components such as amplifiers, active crossovers and equalizers need about mA to turn on.
As these components age the current draw can be even higher. If this current draw exceeds the rating of the head unit the circuit can burn out completely. Instead of connecting each component directly you will want to use a relay. The relay will receive the low current signal from the head unit which will trigger the relay. The relay will then connect the 12 volt signal to the amplifiers and other components.
Most 12 volt relays can supply up to 30 amps of current which is more than enough for all your turn on circuits. This prevents your head unit from trying to deliver too much current which can burn out the turn on circuitry in the head unit.
