Hello everyone About 3 weeks ago I purchased a 2008 Toyota Corrolla S. I have my system from my last car that I put in my Corrolla last night. It works great. My question is my Corrolla comes with stupid daytime head lights. I tried taking out the fuse but my blinkers don't work then. My headlights dim when I crank my bass up a good bit. Or should I get a better car battery and that would fix my Light dim situation?? My Rig: 1 Sony 880Watt Amp that runs Highs/mids/4stock car speakers 1 Fostage Punch S450 amp that runs my 2 12inch Punch HX2 Woofers. 1 Compasitor that is 1 ferid (however it is spelled?) Brand name is Xiode or something like that. Toyota Stock Radio/cd 6 disc changer. My last car was Toyota Echo and this system would also make those lights dim but I did not have daytime headlights to worry about. Not sure If I need a better Battery? Altenator? or what. Thank You Raj
start with a big 3 convertion. http://www.caraudiotalk.com/audio-forum/automotive-electrical/3987-big-3-a.html
Big 3 always a good place to start. What size of power wire are you useing? I like 1/0....big bass needs big power.I have a 120 amp alt. ( biggest available in Indonesia) with 1/0 power and ground and i get 14.6 volts at amp( RF t10001bd ) at idol. larger alt.,better battery or 2 batt's. I like to start with the cheapest things and go up...but that is just me....
I want to say the power wire coming from my Sony amp to the battery is 4 guage. 4AWG? that sound right? Im not good with the lingo. Basically had a place called TNT Car Stereo that hooked it up in my old car and I just kep the same config and moved it to my new car.
