Relocating a battery to the boot is fairly straight forward.... There are basically two ways to do it, the safe way, or the cheap way.... Which would you prefer??? Should also point out it can affect your ins cover also, esp if you do it the cheap way and your car goes up in flames.... I...

With regards the 'leak'.... Use 'talcom powder', spray it on all suspect areas then wash car....Once done open it up and you will be able to trace leak back to source..... Spray talc from around 12" away to just give the panels/rubbers a light dusting.....

Did you read the thread??? Cars done 25k, owner been told by Renault dealer aux belt should be done at 36k or 5yrs....

The ign live fuse has blown mate..... Find it & change it, (if its a 5A fuse & it blows again, swap it for a 10A fuse)....

A melted fuse indicates a poor connection or 'point of high resistance'.... Check connections, then try again.... If its badly damaged then obviously replace it.... I've seen fused distribution blocks that have melted and actually caught fire due to a poor connection, its only when a dead...

^^^I rate them, when installed correctly & used as intended they are almost unbeatable^^^ ^^^The speakers linked to in the first post are 8" mids, not subs^^^ ^^^Probably the best option^^^ ^^^When installed & used incorrectly^^^ ^^^Priceless statement....These units are designed around...

My 20yr old son claimed gassing on his phone made little or no difference to his driving, I gave him a challenge.... Timed laps on Gran turismo on the PS2.... 3 laps without holding a conversation, then 3 laps answering random questions asked by me..... He no longer argues that gassing on a...

^^^Good Question^^^ These subs are either; dual 2ohm = Either, 1ohm or 4ohm overall dual 4ohm = Either, 2ohm or 8ohm overall dual 6ohm = Either, 3ohm or 12ohm overall I would look for around 450w rms into your overall impedance.....

You misunderstand mate, take whoever is responsible to court and sue for compensation, when you enter into a contract of insurance its two sided, you breach the contract & the insurance company will either cancel your insurance or refuse to pay on any claim you may make, its only fair that they...

Phone a local solicitor and find out if they do a free 1 hour consultation, if they do then go have a chat.... I would be looking at compensation for; 1, Lost Road tax... 2, Lost insurance... 3, All transport fees... 4, Inconvenience... 5, Stress... 6, Depreciation of vehicle due to all...

There are a few other parameters that change depending on the 'load' an amp sees..... As far as output quality goes, a 4ohm load would be better than a 2ohm load, the difference isn't as great as say using different classes of amp, (class AB is way better than class D), but there is a...

A quick sketch to show basic layout, ignore cable sizes and fuse ratings, simply use items suitable for yours... Supply links to your amps and I will post what sizes/ratings you actually require...

Everybody who requires sound quality mate..... MP3 is fine for everyday use, but you simply can't beat an original...

^^^Way too low^^^ ^^^Without knowing what size cable your using, or the type/size of in-line fusing, I couldn't say....Exactly where is your current amplifier earth site??? This is more than likely the culprit^^^ ^^^No point upgrading the battery until the boot voltage is sorted....With...

I assume you've requested a courtesy car??? I know I would......

Was the 11v reading achieved with the engine running or without it running??? If it's without the engine running then I would check all connections in the power supply circuit are good and tight....Esp at main fuse near the battery.... If reading was achieved whilst engine running then I would...

Ok, now I'm beginning to see where your coming from....For best results I would be inclined to go with; Uprated front components driven from the amps front channels.... Uprated rear coaxials driven from head unit for rear fill.... Suitable sub driven from the amps bridged rear channels...

It really is that simple..... I know a few people who've done it....

Hi mate, most component speakers are designed to be used in conjunction with a sub, those that are to be used without a sub should be installed in a particular fashion that will offer higher cone control at higher input power levels.... You mention the boot area not offering any such support...

Voltage at the amp terminals should be within 0.5v of the voltage at the battery, a voltage reading of 11v is very poor.....esp poor if the engine was running during the test.... A battery displaying 11v is essentially flat and requires charging....

^^^So you've tested this have you.....Didn't think so:rasp:^^^ Deadening of panels such as the hatch & rear quarters should increase SPL readings, as should deadening of doors, but deadening the roof can in some cases be detrimental to SPL readings..... In all cases though, deadening will...

Hi mate, A few pointers; 1, Head unit output......This will be 4x 50w max or peak, most units usually deliver around 16w rms per ch.... 2, RCA pre-out driving a sub......Simple answer is 'No'.... Sub & Amp is probably your best way forward.....

They use the threat of heavy charges to check engines out because they know there are issues relating to belt lifespan and the possible heavy charge will scare some, if not most people, into going elsewhere....hence saving themselves money..... Get on the net and do some research into the...

They were definitely interupted, possibly by you.... If it had been earlier then they would have returned and emptied it.... Soon as your head unit chassis is prised free and the scum see the RCA leads then the boot gets a seeing to.... Avoid parking in the vicinity for a few weeks, remove...

I'd opt for a 'Becker Grand Prix', should do everything you want.... Then as funds become available buy the necasary adapters and interfaces to fully integrate it into your setup, reckon final outlay inc everything would be under 600quid, a bargain.....

In a straight comparison between the stock unit and the Sony units you linked to earlier I would say output quality would be very similar.... I would recommend you invest a little more money into your source unit to avoid possible disapointment later.... Pop down local Halfords and have a...

Interesting statement....

Simply use a line level output convertor fed from your rear speakers, then connect as normal to batt, rem & earth.....

With system OFF.... Remove the RCA leads from the head unit...Switch on & play as normal with engine running.... Noise still present indicates naff earth, Faulty RCA leads, or faulty amp/amp wiring.... No noise indicates faulty head unit or associated wiring.....(either damaged head unit earth...

I suffer performance wise with a full tank, but I also suffer performance wise due to weather conditions.... In hot weather I can touch XXXmph on my local private road, In the early hours, (around 5am), I can get almost 10mph quicker over the same length of road.... Remove fuel and stereo and...
