  • Cheap CarHifi Solution Wanted

    Tach! For our second car, a Golf IV (3-trg), I am looking for a little support of the factory speakers. Currently a Sony Radio (1x Pre Out) is in it. Since this sounds quite meager in connection with the serial loudspeakers, I am now looking for a cheap solution. The car is not used frequently, and if, then only for short distances. Since the car should be usable as possible, I wanted to do without a subwoofer. I therefore thought of a Hec kablage, maybe with a Canton Pullmann system. In addition a small power amplifier (perhaps a digital one to avoid higher heat development) into the spare wheel dump, that should be enough. The components should be needed in any case, I really want to spend as little as necessary and also like compromises for it. Does someone have concrete recommendations for me? The last time that I had to deal with CarHifi is already 7 or 8 years ago, so I am there. Pretty much out of the matter.

  • Double-Din Radio Recommendation

    Hello and Servus to all, I’m looking for a double-din radio. Unfortunately, I don’t know so well in the area of “car radios”. However, it should meet a few criteria, among them are: *color display (I think is now standard) *lighting of the buttons changeable (if possible red/orange) *display switchable to night mode or off. (I often travel at night; could be annoying) *outputs to a final stage *navigation ( Must not be, but would be nice) *S chwarzes case/front It should definitely look good and not be overloaded with buttons and all possible flash blink cheese. Planned budget: 100-300€ I thank you already

  • Set final stage correctly

    Hello, I have a power amp Carpower 4/600 a Rainbow SLX front system and an ESX SXB 300 subwoofer. The Rainbows run via channels 1+2 The sub moves to 3+4. I have the following settings: BASS EQ: 8 – 18 db X-OVER: HP, LP, FULL (Habe channel 1+2 on HP and 3+4 on LP) LP: 30 – 150 khz HP: 15 – 150 khz GAIN: 6 – 0.2 Can anyone tell me what they should stand for or what GAIN means at all? My favourite music direction is Techno.

  • Golf 2 Hifonics Soundsystem Help with front system!

    Hello municipality, yes that will probably not be the first and only Thered by such questions as my However question I nevertheless. I have so far a complete sound system of Hifonics in the car. Cable Powercap power amplifier tweeter (front) dashboard 2way (high and woofer) hat rack 2way (high and woofer) door panel bass controller Everything from Hifonics Sub from Crunch (Sorry but price performance from Crunch to Hifonics Woofer really shocked me, Crunch was cheaper and had a I have to say that I bought everything at the MediaMarkt/Saturn. Value good 1500€ With Radio Radio I have a JVC KD-AVX11 here times Link So I am really satisfied so far (until I have to adjust the AMP still correctly) There is really nothing clapping when turning up and that is really rare (nothing muted!) So, however, I am not extremely satisfied with the front speakers, since I have no end stage at the front (4 speakers) hears the jetz The prices are enormous and there are certainly comparable goods. My question is now: What do I do in the front, I want to keep the doors still, but I have ELFH and now I don’t know how exactly I should keep them, many do it with bitumen mats but how should I get to my electric from the EFH BZW from the central locking system? Doorboards I would also build up and get myself, only how do I put all this in the doors so that nothing is hindered like cable disc set. The sound should already “overwhelm” me in the front so it should bring nice and sometimes louder beautiful sound. I throw out the front hifonics because of me or I optimize them? I can give you all the dates this evening because I am not at home. At the cost point it doesn’t matter, it should be done with the current or with other hifonics speakers. And not 1000 € costs 500 zb are reasonable. ONLY front system It’s just about the sound and it should be good at the front would also build the end stage into the side panelling.

  • Emphaser T3 + volume???

    Hello, I have already posted this in the built-in forum, but nobody answers. Here is more going on. So, I bought a bass from Emphaser, an EX 12 T3 (30cm). Now my question, what is the best volume for the sub? As a BR pipe I would like to use one with 10 cm diameter and 20 cm length. On the Emphaser I-Net side there is a liter specification of 43.1 on the TSP. In the Auto-Hifi it was tested with 68 liter housing. In the original box of Emphaser it is given with 62 liters. n. Which of the 3 liters is recommended now? 43,1? 68? 62? How would you do it? Thanks for the answers MfG Andy

  • Need a new box

    I’ve got the GZRA 2200X that runs with me to the just my bass role running which seems to me to be a bit overridden with the amp!! That’s why I’m looking for a new bass box. There are 320 watts at 4 ohms available I don’t know if these 320 watts rms are. My music direction is mostly HipHop My car Polo 6N and the fun should cost around 250 euros.

  • Purchase recommendation for subwoofers

    Hello. I’ve burned the sub, now I need a new one. I’ve got an old crunch P4125. Power is about 150 watts. As a sub was a JBL 12″ in a 61 liter bass reflex box. Now I need either a chassis that would fit, or a whole new sub. Budget is about 100 euros. I’m out too long, so what can you recommend me? Front is a rainbow, I don’t have a specific name at hand right now. Car is a golf 3.

  • General questions about car speakers & Hello

    Hello first of all, this is my first post in your huge forum. I like it here now. First of all: I am a Newbie in the field. I own a Golf II CL (my first car) and have a Medion P62000 radio with 4 x 22 Watt RMS and would like to install new speakers now, since the current original front boxes do not bring any bass at all. I don’t want to build a bass miracle now, where my ears fly away (but also the financial means are missing), but a little bangs should it already have Since I don’t have a great idea of the technology, the following questions now arise: 1. Is it worth buying loudspeakers with more than 22 watts of RMS power if the radio does not output more power? 2. Is 22 watts actually a good power? 3. The radio has 4 channels. Can I also connect a subwoofer? Or do I need an amplifier? Where is it connected? 4. I have seen, there are also so-called bass boxes. Bring the what? 5. Bringen di e normal frontboxes also bass? 6. Which connection technology do I have to use? Coaxial or something else? Thanks for your help and another nice day. Many greetings Flea PS: I am a trained computer scientist (FISI) and if someone has a question in the field, I am also happy to help

  • How loud can you be ? ^^

    I have a “Special Neighbor” here If I let the system run for a few minutes – not even loud, so more 1/4 than 1/3 turned up – there comes the out last time after approx. 7 minutes. I don’t want to bother him, but I don’t say anything, if the days saw, hammer, drill etc. So when can one be “loud”? There are laws about it. Lunchtime, night rest what do I know what there is. If someone knows the times, please post.
