Hey guys i am just curious to see what you guys have running. More so my year car. 96 i30 just so i can relate to my brake problem situation and power output. But im curious to see what everyone is running. There are some pretty cool stuff that can be done to these cars so i wanna see alll your creativity. Also tell about your future plans. This should be a good thread to share Ideas.

I got a jl e2150 amp hooked up to two 8' rf subs, underglows, cathodes under my seats green in the front blue in the back, then green cathodes on the back of my headliner and blue in the front, pg xenon whites leds under dash and thens oon mabye cathodes in the grill

Pioneer DEHP6500 Head Unit with 12" Solobaric...then I have a custom relay set up connected to my ACC line which turns on my carputer ...there is a separate battery stored under passenger seat which powers the computer when the car is off... i wired my keyboard to my visor, and theres a touch screen...all the computer is in the glove box...btw i have gps, and wireless internet, not to mention 6000 songs in my car w/o any cds, and it does dvds....you can check it out at http://www.cardomain.com/id/2000i30cg and i will be getting an HID conversion kit soon, let u guys know how that goes

got my MEVI hooked up, does that count?

Sony Mex-5DI reciever (clean as H**l), all replaced interior speaks w/ 6.5" alpine type-R speaks. 2 12" alpine type-R subs w/ an alpine MRD-M300 amp goin to each one (600W to each of alpine quality). And a 360W 4-channel alpine amp goin to the mids/highs. All monster cable wiring w/ a 1-farad monster cable capacitor. It rocks out.

holy **** all that hoked up and no probs sumthing is ****ing wrong here thats messed up if he can have all that and my car ****ing doesnt work this is bs, upgraded alternator?

OH MY GOD! So, so sad. :shakesheadindisgust:

I have a JBL 1200.1 amp hooked to a Resonant Engineering 12" HC sub (with the gain almost all the way up!) and a JBL 180.2 hooked to a pair of Focal 165K2s. I also have an Alpine fold out 6.5" screen with a PS2. I have run my car with the system at loud (not full blast) level while playing the PS2 for over 2 hours and my car started without a problem. I have a Optima Yellow Top and a 1 farad capacitor to help out with the electrical.

The cheapest power upgrade for our cars is probably to install bigger ground wires. I haven't dones this myself, but I've seen a bunch of people who have and I can't remember someone who's tried it saying that it didn't help. The best upgrade is probably the Optima battery. With a stock battery I was having heavy dimming with my system on and the battery would drain real fast. After the Optima install, my lights only dim when I have my system on full blast and I can run it for as long as I need to without needing a jump.

I don't think you need to upgrade your alternator (at least as your first upgrade) since our cars come with pretty large alternators. I would go for the ground wires and a better battery like a Yellow Top and I'm sure you won't have any problems.

the battery only starts the car when the motos running everything runs off the alternator...hmmmmm mabye i need new grounds that could be it, i want a new battery mine right now looks pretty crummy to me, i want a newer high performace battery instead you know. muahahaha

just installed my cathodes for under seats it has such a nice glow on the inside

What kind of problems are you having exactly? Honestly you aren't running a huge system so you shouldn't have too many electrical problems. You are having problems while your car is running? The only problem I ever had while my car was running was the dimming of the headlights. I easily fixed that by upgrading my battery. On top of that, I'm running almost 1500 watts with my amps. How powerful is your amp(s)? The cathodes shouldn't take up a ton of power, right? I think you first need to describe the electrical problems that you are having in detail and then you'll get some better advice.

I'm pretty sure Subxero got banned for 30 days for his dumbass posts attacking new members and that run-on one about some dealership...
