Should I Change Fuses If I Put Sound System Like Mine?

[tyaos]

hi i have R34 GTT 1998

im going to install 2 x 12 subs, 6.5 front, 6 rear, 2 tweeter, 1dvd player, 4ch amp

the 2 subs and front are connecting to amp, rear and tweeters will connect to dvd player...

would i need bigger resistance fuse for them or its ok to stay with normal fuse???...

also when i blink left or right or turn on the emergency blinker, the head lights are blinking too....

and the needle in battery guage is moving up and down about 2sectors.... also when i open and close window... the head lights and interior reading lights are blink....

should i just change to bigger battery?

these are not always happens... sometimes...

cheers

One of the first steps we always recommend you do is install a larger battery (deep cycle if you plan on running the stereo without the car running) and earthing upgrade. The R34 has quite a large alternator and I would have thought for a one amplifier system (unless of course the amplifier is 4 x 500 continous or something that large) it would have no problems keeping the battery topped up.

Definately start with the earth upgrade first though as it's the cheapest. For more info see here:

How does one go about earthing a R33's battery if it's in the boot? You'll have to run long earthing wires to the engine bay? Wouldnt that hinder the earthing kit if the ground is too long?

Hey mate,

You can earth to any point of the cars frame that has exposed metal. Try to avoid painted or rusted areas and look for a decent sized, clean face of steel to earth to.

Liquid's car had some work done by Marty incl. grounding points for the boot. There's pictures which show exactly what was run where.
