Wiring Question on M1165

Might work better on 12v when the engine is running and the voltage is closer to 13.8v. Assuming they aren't already fried.

Electrical motors (unless variable speed motors) are usually designed to run at no more than 10% the voltage. So 12vDC to 24VDC is way more than 10%

So I got everything hooked up and running tonight. This Orion unit has a variable output, instructions say max is 15v, but my harbor freight volt meter says 16+v.

I think the window motors would do fine on 15-16v but would a radio/stereo tolerate it?

Oh, forgot you were going through a converter, so my last comment doesnt apply.

To answer your question, that depends on the radio, but I wouldnt exceed 14.5v.
