strebors Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 2012 camry hybrd just curious if anyone has any experience with a system in a hybrid? It has no alternator, but has an elec motor that charges battery cell and 12v accessory battery. the battery is in the trunk which makes it easier to hook up system... what i am using for system.... one RE srx 15d2 (600w max) one alpine mrx-m100 (prob will only run it around half power at 4 ohm load) should that be fine on the hybrid system or should i maybe add another battery? i know i will probably lose some mpg because it will sense it needs to charge battery sooner than normal so i dont think adding another battery would make a lot of difference but maybe someone with a hybrid might know more.

SnowDrifter Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Parent's 2009 Camry hybrid had an alternator to keep the 12v charged and running, The electric motor only deals with it's own personal battery. I doubt they changed it much. Just look, I'm sure you'll find it.

Ecco Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 A 100% pure electric car has no alternator. Runs off of batteries, brakes, and who knows what else. I'm interested in how it would work, but it won't apply to me, since I prefer an engine with moving parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strebors Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I looked and cant see an alternator anywhere but everything is shoehorned in under the hood, from what i read, the 12volt system is charged by an inverter which is part of the battery cell that the electric motor charges, and that is done by running the gas motor and braking http://www.hybridcars.com/compacts-sedans/toyota-camry-hybrid-overview.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strebors Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 got it all in and ran my dd1 on it just now, sounds great, only issue i have is when i turn the power off its like like low frequency feedback goes through the sub, my only guess is its because im using the speaker wire input on the amp instead of using rcas cause it didnt do this before in my other car with rcas not sure how to post pics on here too otherwise i would post a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
