Hey everyone im new to stangnet and need a little help.
I installed a couple of subwoofers (JL audio) in my 03 mustang GT today. everything went fine until i went to connect the hot wire to the battery. Well the battery cable connector was coroded up (i just got the car a week and a half ago). After taking a wire brush to it i find the bolt that went through it the head was rounded off. Well after trying a smaller socket, then vice grips to no avail i had to cut off the terminal. well i went and got a new one. Hooked it all up started the car. Adjusted the settings on my amp, got everything sounding good. So i go in the house. A little later after the sun set i start to head out the road. After about a mile i notice my voltage is dropping quick. I barely made it home. I checked all my wiring. Everything is wired just like it was before just a new terminal (both wires that were hooked before are securely hooked now. I checked the fuse box under the hood everything was fine. I checked a wiring diagram and i see several in line fuses and stuff, could i possibly have blown one of these? It starts and runs fine until the battery goes dead. I work from 10:30am til 9pm everyday til sturday so ill try to work on it more saturday. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
03 Mustang GT 5Spd. other than the audio system and the flowmaster exhaust it is completely stock.
