  • Assessing Problems

    Hello, today finally my measuring microphone of Audio System came. I immediately got into the car with it and a laptop. I then set everything up and connected as it is described in the magazines of “AutoHifi”. So, now I wanted to make the first measurement. I also ran the pink noise and always led the microphone from one ear to the other. Now comes my problem. In the instruction is that you can quietly read the system properly. This is not possible with me, however, as soon as I turn the volume higher than 6 (quickly quiet), a red light bar appears immediately in the program practice where “**REDUCE INPUT!** ” stands. What is this, perhaps on the laptop? Is already a little older and has only 1000Mhz. I first connected the Mirko to the small amplifier which was there and then went from there into the microphone input from the laptop. Unfortunately the laptop does not have an extra line-in. of course I also connected to the cigarette lighter as it says in the instructions. Would be nice if you could help there, so that I might be able to measure correctly tomorrow. MfG, Dirk

  • Search BILLIGEN 15″ Sub

    Hello! I am looking for a cheap, but reasonably good, 15″ Sub. 15″, because I already have the case for 15″. Is a closed case with 62L. The whole should be for my father. He hears HipHop/Rap, but also Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and similar things. Have bought him a phase Evolution CFS-165.25 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?… and a phase Evolution RS4http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?… I had also recommended the aliant to him, but so much G Eld doesn’t want to spend. He would like to have bought the Shark, which I bought about two weeks ago and reported here. But it’s already coined for my father-in-law and there is currently no one on eBay. So I would like to say up to 80Euro. No more. Of course, it’s new. Is there something you can recommend half way? I know little about it. Since there is not ALL THERE for performance, I think 2x2Ohm would be ideal. Thanks for your help. … Another question. Is anyone familiar with the PT Cruiser??? You can find almost nothing on the Internet. That 16s fit into the doors I found out. But if you need adapters or not???? I don’t know. Maybe someone can help me with advice who knows the car. How to remove the door panels etc….

  • Bad luck on eBay!!! Fraud – What to do??

    Hello. I bought a subwoofer on eBay. The same one I already have. I got it for 270Euro. Before the auction I informed myself about the condition. Original answer: “hello!!!I bought 2003,wanted for my car, unfortunately lost driving license,was not installed and not used.Calculation unfortunately did not keep,no intentions had to sell the,but now.the sub is really horny thing.top condition!!!!!! mfg eugen” And now I get this!! Look at the picture and judge for myself! Then I put the thing in and connected it! The rattle as if there were a handful of little nails on the membrane! In every volume! The thing is fucked! Now I wrote to the good man, he should transfer the money and all the postage costs back to me, because I otherwise display it for fraud! I have all the written things of course still! Man I was / am mad!

  • Again a question about the Domis….

    Hi guys, have music in the car again for some time now, as far as so good… I only have a little problem with the Domis, they are too sharp at level, and that’s quite annoying in the long run^^ As far as the alignment and positioning is concerned, I tried everything with me already. Unfortunately, there is no change, so I assume that the current alignment etc. is i.o…. The system is also passively separated, the crossovers are separated at 3000Hz…Is that too deep for the D omis? What are your experience values? I can have the turnouts of Frank rebuilt, even a lowering of -2db to -3db would be possible… I’m just a little unsure, because the Domis are currently already finely dissolving, each detail reproducing.The stage is also good…Only the high tone is too sharp at Pegel’s greeting John

  • SUB detonated?

    Huhu, I noticed with the correct connection of my sub that he always “pulls” in the basses and not “pulses” I then changed + and – and now fits again. So with the bass the membrane comes out now. Besides, after my imagination, he has now more bangs. Can that be? MfG, jelly

  • TMTs in the Ar…. or just a set-up problem?

    So, my right TMTs always beats me at very loud, why TMT Ciare cw162, Amp Infinity Kappa 202 belaubs, 2×200 at 4 Ohms belaub too. Runs everything active. Settings on the radio look like this: Low Pass 50hz 12db High HP 3,15 khz 12db Mid LPF 1,6 12db Mid HPF 80Hz 12bd belaub 50hz I have copied the settings somewhere and then the radio set up like this Sounds quite good or I got used to it. Always knocking, or is it really eating? Then I need new ones. What about the Ciare CW170? Are quite cheap to get. Or something else that goes well loud?

  • Radio mp3 to 600€

    Searching for a DIN radio as a replacement for my factory radio. It should have a reasonably good tuner, be able to process mp3 and also fit halfway from the design to the vehicle. My favorite would actually be the brand Becker (case optics+display color very well fitting), however I find the mexico pro for the equipment overpriced and an Indianapolis or also a traffic Pro 7949 actually oversized, since I actually don’t need Navi at all (view on the road map and I have di As an alternative, the JVC KD-AVX1 would agree to me (Pro: DVD, Display / Conta: No Rotator, Monitor is 4:3) What else could be considered? Alpine I exclude. Had one, clearly good technology, but optically a disaster and that hasn’t changed either. Possibly still Pioneer? Thanks for tips and experiences. This is often more helpful than the pure facts from the manufacturer’s website.

  • I ->zeuskiller<- looking for new bass

    hi freaks I did it again the two woovers of my hifonics zeus zx12 are back in the ar***. something new must come, and I need tips. my suitcase is quite dense (limo), so I will now upgrade a ski bag opening over winter. is there actually a chassis, which makes at least so much mood in the closed housing (level and depth), like the zeus? can a 15s closed with 2x30s in the bandpass accommodate? the box may then lie still over 100 liters, di e membrane looks then through the ski bag opening. these are my thoughts for the open into the car-hifi year 2006…. inspirations? precise suggestions? my music direction? really everything, focus hip-hop,techno,metal. the amp is still the hiponics cronos which should be used again at 2 ohm (1300rms), what I want to spend should be somewhere at >600€.

  • Disadvantages of a 10″ compared to a 12″?

    Aloha, because of the redesign of my trunk I have already started several threads here. Up to now I was always on a 12″ Woofer out, which plays in a volume up to max. 35l closed housing. Yesterday I then thought to take a 10″ Woofer, the housing would have to become again clearly smaller or? But to what extent is a 10″ tonal difference from nem 12″? Can I perceive this as a normal mortal listener (no Car Hifi Freak)? As inexpensive as possible woofer that should come into a closed housing in the spare wheel trough of nem Corsa with max. approx. 35l volume. Listen to a lot of hip hop, drum n bass and otherwise stop radio. Currently ne Helix box is installed with nem 12″ MK II 1204, I like sound absolutely top, but I would like to have a little more usable area in the trunk.

  • Wechle soft

    Hello Together I have a question which switch should I buy for: Sub(10″ 800Watt-1000Watt, 4ohm,2x35OZ ferrite magnet) and (2x 5watt 8ohm tweeter) and (2x 3watt 4ohm tweeter) the boxes are in my rolla therefore I can’t take a bigger tweeter as the bass takes the place away (it still has too little space but no matter how much it goes) … it’s loud and also sounded relatively good the only one is just the level separates nich clean enough or even not that’s why I want to do this with a soft one that means that there is a cable with approx.1000-1400watt(I think ma not sinus but it’s closer to the description) from the end stage(backed) … so that’s why the soft one and the “8” cables from the tweeters (so together at an anscluss) and the “2” cables from the bass… Soo my question is now! Which artificial(ebay) soft can you recommend me for this because I have jetz far too many heights in the bass and other Peace P.M.
