HomeyDClown Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi, I'm experienced at installing new car stereo's but I'm a little bit nervous about installing one in my Hybrid because I don't want to mess up the way the high voltage battery system works. In looking at my car there is a low voltage (12v) battery in my trunk and since I don't have a regular battery under the hood, I guessed that this is the regular battery. In looking at the manual on how to replace the battery, sure enough I had it right. Since the battery is in the trunk it seems like it would be very easy to run power off of it to my amp and my sub. I would also use AudioControler LC2i to convert the back speakers out puts into pre-sub outs. I would use that sound to run one set of RCA's to my sub amp and one to an amp that would go to the original speakers. I would also have plans in the near future to replace the back speakers with something that can handle a little more power. Does anyone see a problem with any of this? Am I missing something about it being a hybrid that I should know before I start messing with stuff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyross Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I don't think the main car electrical system is any different than a regular car. The high voltage is just for the motors. I'd assume any cabling for that will be marked (bright orange I think.) I don't know if there could be more electrical noise if you end up with any wiring that runs near them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
