grey15 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm going to be getting a Hybrid ride and want to drop a system in it of course. I was just curios if anyone has experience doing so? Is there anything to watch out for? I'm still doing my research on how they operate as far as the batteries and charging system goes. If it works out I would be putting 3 Dekas in the back to run the system soley off, but like I said still looking up the charging system. Thanks for the input T10004 10" AQ HDC3 yep in a prius.. I know, I know why a prius.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 A friend of mine done a SQ system in a Ford Excape ... Sounds Great !!! He added to Linear Power Amps to the system and the gas mileage decreased by some (not shuree of the specifics) ... Not shure if you can add extra batteries ti a hybrid ... This could get interesting ... Happy hunting ... Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ?? Try Here ...

Superjay Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I had an SQ setup in my 2006 civic hybrid (stupid hybrid). close to 3000 watts total system power, no battery or charging upgrades. Never a flicker from any other system. The biggest issue was that it had trouble getting out of its own way...500 pounds of system tends to seriously affect performance. which hybrid are you looking to buy? This will affect whether or not you should add batteries. most hybrids have the charging system built into the electric motors (high voltage generator/motor and 12v built into the same unit) so upgrading would be difficult, to say the least.

Superjay Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 those both have the same charging system...hybrid synnergy drive. you CANNOT upgrade the charging system. You might be able to add a second alt, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can add a battery, but I wouldn't recommend more than that...they charging system won't like it.
