  12. Will a new batt be helpfull for my car?

    It is the 2007 Auris. 126 hp. Do you know this car?

    I don't think it has the start/stop technology alternator, but I will have to look for that. I never heared about that, is it the system that stop your engine at red lights and start it when you hit the accelerator (is it the word for the right pedal ?!). If it is , I don't have that on my car.

    The engine works until I turn the key on off !!!

    For the dimensions, I will take some measures when I get to my car this afternoon (it's 12:15 am right now, and I'm at work !).

    We have a dealer for XS batteries here, but I am afraid of buying something that won't help my electrical system.

    Hi,

    I have some electrical problems.

    I have about 1200 watts rms from my 2 amps. I am on stock alt and stock battery on my Toyota Auris 2.0 l diesel.

    When I start the car, I can read up to 14.13 v - 14.06 v for a few minutes with my system playing (hard as often !!!).

    Then it starts going down to 13.8v - 13.6v.

    If I put the a/c on, it goes to 13.3v - 13.25v.

    I think it's normal to loose some voltage after a few minutes, because the alternator "works" hard after the start.

    But I would like to play at around 14v everytime !

    What can I do ? I will put a secong 0/1 wire for the ground on the battery.

    The big3 is difficult to do : the alternator is very difficult to reach. I will have to take some parts away to do so!! and I am not good at mechanics at all.

    Can a good AGM battery do something to help my voltage problem? I don't want to run a second batt in the back, as I have no room left , with the big box I have !

    I am pretty sure I will not find any HO alt for my car.

    Thanks for all your info.

  15. New, help me with my first setup please.

    Just get ONE sub, a 12" or a 15" (I'm quite sure it will fit), in a good custom ported box.

    Audioque seems to make good products, they have a lower line of subs that can be good too. You can take an amp from them, or buy used.

    You don't have a big budget, so keep it simple. You must keep money for the wiring, the accessories, ...

    With this budget you will have to do all the instal yourself !

    If possible, get some deadening material for your trunk : secondskinaudio Damplifier for example, look at their forum and/or website.

    Save some more money, and, later, you will upgrade your front speakers( don't need rear speakers) and buy a 2 channel amplifier for them.

    Good luck bro!

  17. Will I notice a difference??

    i think you would be better off selling the type r's and getting a couple better woofers on that power... less impedance rise, proper airspace, normal ohm load, and quality built enclosure= louder than 3 type r's in a shitty box

    That is the best thing to do !

    You can even get a single powerful woofer and a beautiful custom box, with the same amp.

    Save some more money, sell the "r" (you can easily do that, I hope so !), and come back here to look for the best woofer(s) you can buy.

  22. TC sound. Looking for views on these subs.

    The *** trash is great (I run one in my car!!!), but if you 're limited on space and can't fit 2 subs in the car, look at the *** junk : with a good amp and a Good box you will be amazed. The junk sound so well, and is really powerful : you will get the low notes like no others, and still get the higher notes. It's not an spl sub, it's a sub to play music, all kind of music.

    I am selling my trash to buy an junk as soon as possible !

    Tell us what you choose.

  23. Wanna upgrade

    in Mid's and highs

    If these 4 x 6 are for rear speakers, you can forget about them : they will do nothing good for you. Just try to play your system with these off, and hear what it sounds like. Must be better, at least for the stereo effects!

    You have powerful amps for your speakers, you can have 2 sets of component speakers with 200 watts rms to each speaker. Focal K series are great really great (I run a set of 165 KP and I loooove them!!!), but expensive.

    I've heared good things about the Alpine type X pro, and lots of people seem to love Image Dynamics speakers.

    The RE xxx ? Never heared them, they look awesome but some reviews are not so good about them.

    Why don't you go listen to the most sets you can and tell what you liked or not, so that people here can help you more.

    You can chose a good set of midbass speakers on a 400.4, and a set of comps on the other amp : think about it.
