I have a 2020 Model 3 SR, no rear sub. Im craving low end.
Ive read thread after thread and understand that i should be tapping 12v constant at the penthouse, and using a relay + resistor but this is where information is a bit all over the place. resistor ive seen suggested 100w and anywhere from 1-5 ohms, and relays ive seen some small, some 80amp, and some suggesting 200amp only. Can anyone definitively break down what parts are recommended to avoid any errors, killing batteries/penthouse?
how about 12v switched? is VC_Right still good? ive read that should turn on when the brake is pressed and turn off when you leave the drivers seat? Honestly for 12v switched, im considering an actual switch to ensure the amps are for sure off when im not in the car. It a pain in the ass, but this way i should be able to have 100% certainty the amps should not have any affect on the electrical system until i turn them on right? If i do this, and wait until im say actually in drive to turn the switch would i even really need the resistor/relay? I suppose its better to have those as an additional precaution either way.
