Suv Stereo System For Around 500

How long can I run my car's stereo system before I drain the battery? Assume the typical battery in a typical new mid-sized sedan on auxiliary power.

Surprising, not very long. Most newer vehicles come with undersized batteries, just enough for a few starts in the worst of conditions.Your car radio doesn’t require much power assuming you are not trying to piss off your neighbors, however it does require constant power when on, so while your starter is a huge draw on the battery, it only draws for ~3 second then the alternator immediately starts to recharge the battery, your radio sucks the power without the benefit of the alternator replenishing the spent power while the car is off…in short, I would think if your vehicle in newer, with a factory battery, all in good condition, and you are listening at a reasonable volume (not trying to impress the rest of the world with your factory base) you are likely safe for an hour IF all othe accessories are turned off.Ok, so you forgot your radio on and you come back to your vehicle and suspect you ran down your battery, what do you do now. Shut the radio off, and let the battery rest as long as possible before trying to start it. A half hour minimum an hour is better. If it starts, after the resting period your not done… leave all the accessories off and running your engine for 5 minutes at a driving rpm (~2000–2500 if you have a tach), then take it on the best nearby highway for at least a 15 minute drive if you can leave off all accessories, 30 minutes if you require headlights or blower, even longer if you can’t get up to at least 40 mph without constantly using the brakes (brake lights use a surprising amount of power if not LED) … Assuming your battery was in good health before you drained it, then this charge cycle should be enoungh, otherwise, you might need to replace your tired, undersized, battery with a new one… should you have to replace it, it is always better to purchase a more powerful battery than what came with your vehicle, but that is an answer for another question…

Which is the best SUV car in India?

Just bought a Hyundai Creta for my wife… went through almost all the available options and her primary requirement was an Automatic Gearbox, Rear Camera and a Bright color. We checked Brezza (disappointing in terms of power and no auto), Ecosport (no Rear Camera, looked smaller but very close second preference), Honda WRV (No auto), Honda BRV (its a mini van not SUV), Toyota Fortuner (too expensive for a compact SUV), our Tata Hexa (Too big for her), Mahindra XUV/TUV (too noisy, very hard ride, not for ladies), Renault Duster (looked n felt cheap quality stuff), Jeep Compass ( Close 3rd but expensive for the class). Not to mention the BMW X3, Merc (GLE/GLA), Audi Q3/Q5, Range Rover, etc. (we did not want to spend that much on a part time car).Hyundai Creta offered a balance of nice aesthetics, Good interiors, Some nice features like Turn assist headlights, Turn Nav warning, etc. with a smooth automatic transmission, comfortable ride, Good boot space and a very light steering, rear cam, park assist, etc. etc. As per the milegae, we are getting about 450 Km with a full tank which is costing about Rs. 3,500 of high speed petrol.Costed us about 16Lacs with extra accessories like Leather Seats, Front n Rear bumper skids, Roof Wrapping in 3M black etc.Overall, happy with the car and she is loving it.

What does the Q1N,Q2N,Q1W,Q2W mean on a Pioneer stereo?

That is theParametric EQ
Parametric equalization or tone controls allow you to set not only the amount in dB by which a certain frequency band is boost or cut, but also the width and/or center frequency of this band. This gives you extremely precise control of the tonal balance in your vehicle. Parametric equalizers are more versatile than graphic equalizers, which have fixed center frequencies and bandwidths
parametric eq .My pioneer has the same feature.

Wanting to buy subwoofers and amp for SUV? (repost)?

Well, Two 10 inch subs are good for rock and roll.

And you are highly mistaken, lil wayne, and songs like that, are the ones with bass that will shake your car mirrors. Ha.

Really, All you need is One 12 inch subwoofer, and a decent sized Ported box, that means a box that has a vent in it. You will feel that. No, the guy above is wrong, one 12 inch sub isnt going to be heard a block away. You need serious power for that.

If you want cheap, but quality, here you go. Get this, and have an installer do it for you, because you don't seem like you know how to install. Haha.

Here is an amplifier.

Here is a 12 inch sub, this is better for the type of songs you listen to so it can hit deep bass.

Your wiring kit. Everything is included in this for the installer to use.

This will give you a nice bass, and you should be able to feel it when you crank it up. Won't over power the music and should match up. =)

My friends say that if you install subs and an amp in your car, your alternator will die. Is that true?

subs=subwoofers
amp=amplifier
If it will mess up my alternator, what can I do to prevent it from happening? Some say you need to change your alternator and get a new one before you install a stereo system. I have no idea what to do. I don't want to install a stereo system if it will mess up my car, but I want my car to have a lot of bass. Please give some great advice.

Which is better optima yellow top battery or red top?

Well, the yellow top is designed to "deep cycle" - discharge more deeply - than the red top is. The red top is a replacement Automotive starting battery, and the yellow top has the amps to crank the engine, but can also be run down (discharged) by using accessories without damage. Yellow top will be more expensive, but better for your application, especially if you plan to run your stereo with the engine off.
