just a few questions...plz!

1.) Does anyone know where I can get a new power antenna for my 1993 camry?

2.)also, can someone answer this for me? when i'm jamming in my car with my new speakers,sometimes if the music is loud enough the stereo, clock, cig lighter, and int lights will go out? is this some kind of safety precaution so I dont blow my fuse or what? eventually it will come back on, but i have had to change the dome fuse once before because of this. why does this happen?

Thanks so much guys!!!

1) junkyard or ebay

2)your new system may be drawing to much power from the circuit.

bigbird is right. I would suggest going to your local pick and pull for an antenna because you can get a working used one for pretty cheap, or you can go to a full service auto parts recycler and get one for less than a new one. ebay is also a good option, but check the first two options first because if you have problems with the one u get on ebay, it will be much harder to return it.

Regarding your power issue, bigbird is also right. your audio system taxes your battery when you turn it up. I would make sure all the components of your system are grounded well. Next, I would recommend adding a Ground Kit to your car. Essentially, this mods improves your car's overall electrical system. I believe the reason why you had to change your dome fuse once is because when power was restored to the other components, there was a surge of juice to the dome light circuit. You can find more information on a Ground kit by searching "Ground Kit."
