    Will a distribution block cause power loss?

    2015 Toyota Corolla S. Here's the one guy I was talking about. (http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/377-11th-gen-corolla-2014-scion-im-2016/1152193-big-3-upgrade-2015-corolla-s.html) I did that but routed the wires differently so I didn't need to waste so much.

    Will a distribution block cause power loss?

    I'll try moving that ground when I get the chance and if that doesn't work I'll consider using a smaller gauge. I had extra 4 gauge laying around too and some guy with my same car and same power did it with 4 gauge and he said his dimming went away, so I just copied what he did.] Oh, and I was...

    Will a distribution block cause power loss?

    I did 4 Gauge OFC since I'm only using 500 RMS and my alternator puts out about 100A; To be honest, I think the problem is my battery negative to ground. I have it on a strut bolt and it was kind of hard to sand that down, and the metal above the chassis that I put the ring terminal on is not...

    Will a distribution block cause power loss?

    I already did the Big 3, that's why I was wondering if this would even do anything, lol. The dimming is to a minimum since the Big 3 got rid of most of it, just curious if increasing impedance would help. It's not a big deal if it doesn't though, I just don't want it to get worse. Edit: Just to...

    Will a distribution block cause power loss?

    Ok, I also have a another question and don't want to make another thread. If I wire a subwoofer with 2 Ohm instead of 1 Ohm and 500 RMS, I would be using less power right? Because my lights slightly dim, and I used an Ohms law calculator and 2 ohms uses less amps. So maybe 2 ohms instead of 1...

    Will a distribution block cause power loss?

    I don't want to bother with this capacitor I have and have decided to use some distribution blocks. I have an LC2i I'm going to install and instead of running wires from my battery all the way to the back, I plan on using a distribution block in my power and ground wires so I can put a power...

    My kill switch stop working correctly?

    Turned out to be my power wire had a few strands coming out and touching the remote power which was giving it power. All fixed now.

    My kill switch stop working correctly?

    You must have missed the part where I said my amp stays on when my car is off and only read the part about me wanting to turn it off and on when I'm driving...two problems here. Both can be solved with a working switch that I'm trying to get help with.

    My kill switch stop working correctly?

    It takes power from when my radio turns on in order to turn my amp on, well that is the theory here. It is just a push-toggle switch that lights up. I bought that one because it fits in a little empty hole I have on my panels. I want to be able to turn on and off because I don't always like to...

    Wiring an LC2i into my system, have a few questions.

    Ok, cool. I planned on running a 1 AMP fuse because I think that is what the LC2i manual said. And to make sure I understand what you're saying about the remote.. I will run the remote wire from the accessory or fuse or whatever to send a signal to turn on, and that wire will run into my LC2i...

    My kill switch stop working correctly?

    I bought a switch to turn my amp on and off, and I swear on my life it was working a day ago. Now, when I have my car off, my amp stays on but the switch turns my radio on and off. Here's the wiring diagram for the switch...

    Wiring an LC2i into my system, have a few questions.

    So I know there is a remote out on the LC2i that I can plug into my amp so my amp is only on when my car is on, but I don't want to get rid of my kill switch. I want to be able to turn my subwoofer on and off when the car is on because sometimes I just don't want to listen to it. If I keep my...

    I have dimming from my subwoofer, need some help fixing it.

    It is not all of my interior, only the white ones on top that like light up the car. I turn them on and see them dim a fair amount.

    I have dimming from my subwoofer, need some help fixing it.

    I know that, but I want to know what will stop the voltage from dropping.
