Dearest Hive Mind,
I've got a rather wonderful 'Signature' system care of the Audio wizards at @Absolut5 in my T6.1
Setup is Audison Amp under the driver seat with a belter of a JL Sub under the passenger seat. Hertz speakers dotted around.
It's a superb system, so much so it seems a shame not to be using it when parked up (no not in Tesco car park on a Saturday night) but out camping or at bus socials.
When parked I can manually fire up the Discover Media Head Unit, get the music playing - happy days. But the head unit has an auto shut down after a few minutes - which makes sense. Wouldn't want to accidentally kill the battery.
That said I want to be able to run the music and take advantage of the system for at least an hour (maybe two). So my new tactic is to leave the key in the Ignition turned to the first ON position only. Electrics fire up, leave it there. Lovely!
But then I started remembering my formative years and my old man warning me about leaving the Ignition in the on position and how it would knacker the points.
I'm pretty sure that's old tech these days, but I'm not expert. Does anyone see an a issue arising from doing this? Will leaving the vehicle electronically 'ON' but not the engine running knacker components?
Which brings me on nicely to my next question... Runtime?
Has anyone got the faintest idea how long a relatively new (2022) starter battery would run a an audio sound system?
An hour/Hours/Many hours?
If I run it for too long do you get a helpful warning to save the battery? Or does it just suddenly die and you're stranded in the Tesco car park.. Ahem... I mean field
Anyone's thoughts majorly appreciated.
Cheers guys
