yea off for like 5 minutes then on for like 10. then turned it off went to my buddys place came to come home and the car wouldnt start. With this have anything to do with the fuse by the battery? Or the type of wiring i used. or is this system just require to much power cuz whenever there is bass my lights go dim lol.

 

As a rule of thumb, I dont suggest you run your system when the car is off as this will drain your battery (unless you have more than one battery). In regards to the lights dimming, try upgrading wire gauge of the "big three". This is
1. the alt to positive batt
2. negative batt to chassis
3. you will have to add the third, alt to chassis...

 

So if i run this system only when my car is goin i prob should be alright, i will do some tests and see what happens.

If i used a 222Watt amp instead of my 1000 whould that use less powre?

 

Yea..it will be alright for the system on well the cars on..

And yes...The 222 watt amp will use less power then the thousand watt amp..

 

Alright cool thanks alot for helping me here. This is all my brothers stuff that hes not using right now so i really dont no much about car steroes and such. I wil probably be back for a few more questions. Thanks@!

 

No Problem..Always glad to help

 

It will use less power but you will get less output. You might be underpowering your subs then.

 

my question is why a 10" and a 12" why not two of either...

 

I've heard on this forum that you get cancellation issues running 2 sizes of subs. Not sure though, I've never tried it.

 

Its all my brothers stuff. He has 2 10's and a 12. I ended up puttin the 2 10's in becuase i wasnt getting enough out of the 12 for some reason.
