OPUS Power Supply & 19 Volts
I'm going to be using a Xenarc MP-SC8 in my project, but it requires a 19V feed. Does anyone have any experience with this box, and the power supply? I can't find any information on it on the Xenarc webite. I ordered the DC to DC adapter from them, but I don't know if it has any of the functionality of the OPUS power supplies to monitor voltage and condition the line. I'm wondering if I can or need to put an Opus in front of the Xenarc DC to DC adapter, and if so whether it will still provide the same functionality. Ideas?

Thanks for the "BIG HINT". I hadn't come across anything on Carnetix in the past few weeks.
BTW - No harm, no foul. I know some of my questions are very elementary at this point, but I'll eventually be able to contribute to the forums as I get farther into this project.

What is the spec on the xenarc Pc you are getting?
The dc-dc you ordered from Xenarc is probably like a laptop dc-dc so it will have no SDC stuff or as good low input performance (ie for cranking). If it is a laptop dc-dc then the 140W carnetix should be fine.

looks ok. i think.
did you see the thread on the 5V addon for the carnetix? it will provide a third output at 5V (so you can set the secondary to 12V) and then you can power a USB hub/GPS etc etc.

One point about your connection diagram. The Carnetix has a dlyon output which would be better for the amp remote switch on.....

I have been looking at this same system. Do you know who the MB manufacturer is?

Will you need the iSense line? That's specifically for the Mac Mini. Not sure if your Xenarc needs it.

I think you might need more then a 15 amp main fuse off the battery
your 12v off the power supply alone will pull close to that, nevermind how much that JL amp is pulling.
