Hello all. Figured id introduce myself it will be nice to get to know all of you and this looks like a great place for help with tons of very knowledgeable people. I picked up this celica today it is a 1994 gt-s, no mods other then the air intake, It will be awhile before i do anything big, but i am excited about it i love the car already it feels so different compared to any other. (Last car was a 2001 tiburon, the engine blew,hated it)

QUOTE (Lil-Joe101 @ Jun 19, 2012 - 9:58 AM) Welcome to 6gc bro. Quick question what is that blue wire on core support? The Blue wire connects to the Yellow wire you can also see thats connected to my alternator, There is one of those fuse holders where the Blue and Yellow connect. Its what powers my amp. Im not very experienced with wiring in sound systems though so i don't know why its connected that way, in my last car i didn't have a wire going to my alternator. EDIT: Actually the Red wire is the one that runs to the trunk for power to my amp, So do you have any idea why there would be that wire connected to my alternator then to my battery?

EDIT: Actually the Red wire is the one that runs to the trunk for power to my amp, So do you have any idea why there would be that wire connected to my alternator then to my battery? The blue is most likely an attempt at upgrading the alternators "power wire" but it only looks like an 8 gauge which isn't much better + it is a muchhh longer distance to the alt, i would wire it the same way the original wire goes behind the intake manifold (how it is on an ST) shortest distance is the best Im not gonna get into specifics, but look up the "big 3" its a basic wire upgrade for having an audio system. The way it is will work obviously, could be better, fuses are just safeties. Nothing wrong with it, if you have any questions ask welcome to the site... way better than the last car!

Ahhh yes that would make sense then, Yea i would like to do the big 3, but I'm going to get a new system first, the amp the car came with doesn't put out much its only 350watts maximum i think? And the Subs aren't the greatest either. I love the box they came in though I'm definitely keeping it and just replacing the 2 10" subwoofers... Thanks for the welcome and reply!
