  7. Anyone Know Or Own A Toyota Camry?

    in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!

    Posted

    I have a 96 which i use for a work car and my girlfriend has the 98. They get amazing gas mileage(Mine has the V6 and it still gets great mileage) and they are also pretty roomy for how small they are. Plus with that amout of miles it should last you quite a long time so that explains the price. But all in all they are great cars.

    Amen..... they look like fukin wat a grandma drives, but like u said i can get about 500km off a tank of fuel, maybe more havnt cheked l8ly since the petrol rise, myn's a 4 cylinder and it fukin cranks hard haahaha, i push it to its limits it still goin strong for a 4 cylinder ahah

    i have a 97 model holden apollo, which has the same body as the camry (more then likely make it in the same factory and put holden badges on some and camry on the other).

    they are very roomy, reason why i bought it. im 17 so its a good 1st car to start audio projects on, in 1 or 2 years time ill get something i little newer and more powerful :P. they are reliable cars though. i got myn for $5000 AUD dollars

    one thing that i didnt understand when i first started in car audio was that you're not giving your sub the ohm load, you're giving it to your amp. it depends on the rating of the sub that will give the amp the ohm load.

    say you have a dual voice coil sub. when you wire them in parallel, you're going to give it have of it's rated ohm load (2 ohm sub would be a 1 ohm load) and if you wire it in series, you're going to double the ohm load (2 ohm sub would be a 4 ohm load) so if you have an amp that's rated 1000 watts @ 1 ohm, getting a 1000 watt dual voice coil 2 ohm sub would match that amp.

    also the more ohms you have, the more resistance you have giving you less power.

    running amps at higher ohm loads also enables them to run cooler, making the signal cleaner and more efficient

    so instead of running my 2 subs of the 1 amp at lower ohm, get another amp allowing my sound quality to be better and have 1 sub per amp, allowing them to run at 4ohm each?

    i made this topic so i dont have to keep makin new topics to ask questions, any1 should post on it if they have random questions instead of starting new topic.

    anyway most of u bass experts will prob laugh at me but wats the difference between the OHMS like how do u make your sub 2 and 4 ohms, and wats the difference between them, sorry 4 the stupid question but better to learn of the pros then to not learn at all :)

    I ran Z1a @ 0.5ohms which would be 5000wrms+ into 10awg cable no problem.

    That speaker cable should be fine for what you're running. If you were running more than 1000w through the cable I would upgrade to 10-8awg.

    ok then cool :P

    cant wait for some $$$, subwoofer hunting, backseat removal, amplifier hunting, battery,altenator, 0awg cable and speaker wire hunting, install in my backseat, then listen to some tunes, POW it will hit mutha fukin hard, still unsure wat im gonna get, will have to sell my two 12s. thinkin about 4 15's mtx or soundstream, or 2 maybe three 18's, but havnt seen them in any shops in aus at all..... :(

    How much power, in RMS are you running per amp, and how many runs of speaker cable come from each amp. Could you get a picture of the cable you are using?

    i have the 1 amp which is (im typing this directly off the manual) :

    1x 456W RMS channel at 4 OHMS and <1% THD+N

    signal-to-noise ratio: 70DBA (reference 1W into 4ohms)

    1x 657W RMS channel at 2 ohms, 14.4V supply and <1% THD+N

    dynamic power: 761W at 2 ohms

    theres more but to much to type anything more u need i will tell u

    ill get a pic of my cable running of my amp now :P

    EDIT: here are some pics

    that red 1 is 4GA so it shows u in comparison so u might know wat the speaker cable is

    sorry bout how blury it is no room in boot or trunk to get farther pic

    Yes upgrading the battery earth cable is also crucial. As mentioned earlier your circuit is on as strong as its weakest link. And infact the circuit does not just include your amp's wires but also the wires coming off the battery. No matter how great your massive amp power cables are and if you have perfect earths up back, if you have a single crappy 8awg factory earth coming off the battery it will be the weakest link in your system rendering all those upgrades near useless . I had five 0awg earths coming off my front battery when I upgraded.

    ok that helped me heeps :P, thnx heeps, just to be annoying i have another question will i get more NOTICIBLE power if i get some 12 or 8GA speaker cable from my subs to amp or just leave what i have now, dont bother askin me wat i have now i have no clue but i know its not 8GA
