  • Squeaking = beginning of the end?

    Hi people, I read with horror how many prejudices there are still against Alfa. Or is it true?? I’m driving a 156 for 18 months, built in 1999 and could not detect any annoyances… except…yes… fuel consumption, insurance.. and then the belt squeaks now, without looking really bad. This can be appeased by silicone spray. Who has a better idea, likes to write.. or are these the first signs from the end??? Comparison to Alfa, drove until Then a Hyundai Accent, totally horny, except for a little thin sheet metal. A 3 BW, also in 1999, you look like monotonous. That’s as if you were driving a large roller cabinet through the area, so inflexible. To do this, the heating takes forever and the engine doesn’t run that round in the cold, I couldn’t find out with the Alfa yet.

  • How much watt RMS does a power amplifier really have? Can you measure it?

    Hi guys, I’ve had a power amp of Crunch for a long time and that’s a Blackmaxx MXB-4150i . As I’ve already gone 2 subwoofers with it and I’ve now switched from 25cm to a 30cm sub I wanted to ask what kind of power amp really does when you’re off the data in the net. So with this power amp it’s worth 100WRms per channel, turned on 4 ohms (1+2,3+4) 600WRms and turned on 3 ohms (1+2,3+4) 900 WRms ? Does that work? at the moment a 30cm 4 ohm subwoofer from Audio Systems Connected with a load of 800/400W and the part gets quite sweaty Even if the power amplifier has no gain at all and all filters are on. Therefore I always have to On Radio In addition to the sub on minus places. Is this permanently Ok for the sub or not, Shouldn’t the power amplifier be a little weaker so it fits performance Technically to the sub ? – 400w Rms Sub on 400w Rms power amplifier ?

  • Golf 2 Cheap Speakers!

    Hello I would like to install after a few wrong ways, my Golf 2 speaker in the “doorboards” so 13cm. I still have tweeters the original ones in the dashboard, which I change later. Have the doors now properly insulated(with alubityl) and speaker rings mounted. Now only cheap, but no “cheap” speakers are missing. Budget I thought so between 50-100€. Is not much, I know, but I am now short of cash there is still a recommendation? LG

  • Pioneer MVH-AV270BT does not recognize videos

    Hello, yesterday I bought the Pioneer MVH-AV270BT Music via Bluetooth from the mobile phone and music from USB works well but it does not recognize any videos on the USB stick (green handbrake cable is also connected) According to BDA it plays from USB the following audio: MP3,WMA,WAV and AAC Video: DivX , Xvid and MPEG-1,2,4 Images: JPEG and BMP Have already tested some avi files (and then converted with the “super” converter to xvid avi) It does not recognize a single video – the Vide o Folder is displayed but I can’t even click it (grey) What am I doing wrong?

  • DSP in the convertible?

    Hello, I would like to have a new sound system installed in my C class Cabrio (2017). I made contact with a local specialist and already made an appointment. The following question remains to be clarified: End stage with DSP or without. Since I will only drive the car in the summer and then hopefully much open, I do not know if the surcharge is worth it. (12000-1400 without DSP vs. 2000 incl. DSP) I actually want a nice discreet sound, although I like to hear it loudly. Does DSP make sense with a convertible and wind noises, etc.? What would you do? Greetings!

  • After one of Focal ASE-165 in Fiat 500 2019

    Hello, I’m not getting any further here. Recently I installed the above-standing LS in our Fiat 500. With aluminum butyl and insulation provided. First try was really disappointing and sounds worse than the factory tortoises. It lacks bass and depth and the HT only tremble. The Focal have 4 ohm. Unfortunately I couldn’t find out what the factory radio uconnect 5 is doing. One Fiat 500 has 4 ohm LS…the other 3ohm… Does anyone have a tip…?

  • Switch from Omega-B to Facelift again the same game?

    Hello, since 8/98 I drive an Omega-B Carvan 2.0 16V Reflection (EZ 9/95). Currently the car has run about 165.000 km, TÜV is still valid until 07/2008 – if I get a badge after that is a question like the TÜV rated the rust, but for cost reasons I will no longer invest a larger sum in the Fzg.. From time to time I look around for alternatives, a caravan it doesn’t have to be, me would be a small SUV like Nissan Qashqai or VW Tiguran stimulant I don’t care about the Fzg. from the year 2003 that you hardly have a clever all-round view from the inside, that’s not different from the above mentioned Fzg. (I understandably haven’t seen the Tiguan yet) either. It seems to count more the sporty look than the passive safety like e.g. that you can recognize other passers-by quickly and well. Because that bothers me personally I think about an Omega 2.2 Carvan Face I don’t really want to buy a lift, but it will be hard to find smart models, and I don’t really want to buy an Omega over 100,000 km. I have a lot of things to do, like many here, with my current Omega, even if it’s an Omega-B, of course there’s also a lot to hang on. The Facelift is better in some points, but it also has the familiar quilts: head gasket, hydroestössel, cracker, flex pipe, exhaust system, track rod etc. – even rust is still a probl for some models. em. Other manufacturers also cook with water, everything is known to me – now I ask myself, should I possibly get back to the risk. A few months ago I would have categorically excluded this, but the all-round view is important to me, the acquisition cost for an Omega also keep itself within limits, would not be the unpredictable and that I should actually be healed Omega. Where light is, is known also shadow – how do you see that, would you again on there the Abeneuter Omega, provided one still finds an acceptable model at all. The models in the closer environment that I have seen up to now had exactly the flaws listed by me, and through the valley of tears we have actually walked here enough. Best regards JD

  • Power loss + faulty battery display XC40 Pure ElectricTWIN MY22

    Strange thing. I got into my wife’s car this morning to drive to a sports event in Bern. We still used the car yesterday. Everything went flawlessly and we turned off the car with a battery level 60%. This morning it shows then at once battery level 95%. In addition, at the power indicator on the right the orange bar goes down to 2 o’clock. So stands at about 50% of the complete power indicator. The car only drives with front drive and it lacks the complete performance of the There is no error indicator. Land road and highway he drives quite normally. Simply with less power. But it does not jerk. The range at 95% was shown to me with 160 km. I then drove to Bern and later back again. Total distance about 60 km. Then arrived at home with 40% battery. The recuperation also does not work any more. One padel works, but only over the brake discs and the recuperation bar remains stubbornly at 0 and moves Not down. Very strange. In addition, the right exterior mirror refuses its service and can neither be hired nor lowered while inserting the reverse gear. I have now charged the car to 90% and have a range of 160km. Will the car be placed on the yard at Volvo tomorrow morning and take a rental car. I’m curious if it’s just a software BUG or if the rear engine has lifted the Ar***. Did any of you ever have a similar problem? I’ll tell you . Greeting Bäschtu
