Accord's Stock Electrical System
Just wondering if anyone has had the same symptoms that i've had. I've got an Alpine CDM-7854, rigged up to a S15L7, ive ripped out all the wiring, found out the lights on the deck still dimm when its turned up. Wondering if I should run a 10ga tap to the cd player /w my .5 farad attached to it. Thinking that might solve the problem, and drop my own inline fuse in there maybe 30amp or none at all...
Anyone?

Anyone?</TD></TR></TABLE> What is a "S15L7"? , if you are useing deck power to run the highpass speakers, then a 10 ga power wire from the batt. can't hurt, but fuse it, you will have to beef up the ground on the HU also, you can do that at the back of the HU, if you have an amp running a sub,[S15L7] make sure the amp has a good ground, and is getting enough power, you may have to beef up groung at the batt. and run a larger "charge" line from the alt.

I'd have one badass setup if I had something like that :-D
No I've got K693's for the rear, DX60's for the front... KX800.2 to run the rest :-p

yea, if your running a kicker 800.2 expect everything in your car to dim. you need around 4 guage power and ground for that amp and probably a bigger alternator that what a honda would come with to solve your prob completely.
