What is your question?
Have a 2002 Toyota Sequoia. Speakers were failing due to age, so while I was replacing them, I decided to add an amp to drive the new speakers and add a second amp and a sub. While working on the audio, I unhooked the negative battery terminal and hooked it up again when I needed to go somewhere. As I was driving, my car stalled on me multiple times, though it started up immediately. When I got to my destination, I pulled on the negative battery terminal to see if it was loose. It seemed tight and my car drove normally. When I went back to work on my audio system, I again unhooked my negative battery terminal and again had trouble with my car stalling while driving down the road. Upon completing my audio system hook-up, I started my car and pulled it in the garage for the night and inadvertently left one of the interior lights on overnight. It was still on this morning when I was going to leave for work, but my car would not start. All I am getting is a rapid clicking sound coming from down in the center of the engine back toward the firewall. I tried jump starting it, but had no luck. Any ideas?

Charge battery or try a better pair of jumper cables....the battery is very weak and will not engage the starter motor!
Hi Tim I'm shore if you try to jump the battery again it will work. But this time when you hook the two batteries let your car wait About five minute's with the jumping car running to bring your Battery up to a starting voltage then try it should jump ok. Now as far as the stalling problem I have heard some problems with high output amps drawing so much power from the battery that the alternator cannot keep up with the draw and stall the car One way to Cheak is to take drive with radio off. Then as your Coasting to a stop turn radio on quickly it might cause the stall you where talking about. This also mean's you might need a 2nd battery to cover the draw from your new amps I would Cheak with a car audio store the staff I'm shore would help??
