Jeremy009 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hey guys, I own a toyota corolla ae90 liftback. A couple days ago i swapped out my stock 90amp alternator and added a 140amp with a single xs power xp3000bat in the back (no front battery). My system is roughly 2800rms but in the past even when i had smaller amps it always sounds like its lacking power and not "full" I use xs power 100% ofc silver tinned copper 0gauge for my runs and did my big 3 with that wire also. This is strange, yesterday a friend of mines brought his car over,we literally have the same alternator ,wires type and amps (both of us has a deafbouce 2k and nvx 800.4) with the only difference being he has a single northstar 76ah battery upfront and i have my xp3000 120ah batttery in the back. We both use a single 12" sub and his bass is very louder than mines when we both tuned with a dd1 meter. We clamped the bass output on his amp while playing the same tone, he got 78amps and i got 61amps. My car is smaller so my wire runs are shorter. My question is, is there anything that could be hindering my electrical in the car? Fuses or anything a can check? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy009 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Isnt these hatchbacks supposed to be notorious for bass? He has a toyota feilder... What about the difference in our output when we clamped? Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 same deck?... both set to flat? my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CstrokerV Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Only thing I can think of is that the impedance rise is different at that frequency my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy009 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 We both clamped using the same tone without a sub being hooked up. I have more battery power, we both have same alternator..when subs are hooked up, his bass sounds better, more full and deep. Even if i put my sub and box in his car, it sounds better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
