Current consumption of Stock STi - Page 2

I have no idea, other than a small 8" JL in the stock location in my Supra, this is the first sub with decent power going to it that I have experience with. So far I like it, it seems about as clear as a sub can be.

YIKES!!!!!! dont pull out the batt in a computer controlled car!!!!! the batt's other function, besides the main one (starting the car) is to filter the "bad" power coming from the alternator. you pull out the batt when the engine is running and you risk frying some circuits...

what about capacitors? I was talking to a friend of mine who is a car stereo guy and he said that i might want to look into buying a capacitor.

capacitors are like teeny batteries. they supplement the main battery when TRANSIENT music loads hits.

but as quickly as they supply the extra help, they discharge as quickly.

as for myself, a single soundstream REF 604 amp is enough. once i see the headlights dimming, it's time for the orange top OPTIMA...
