  • Low pass for tweeters

    Hello as a front system have the phase Linear 165.25 Fully active on a Helix 400 MK2 with the matching crosscards, as headunit I have the Alpine 9855 R. tweeter sits in self-built mirror triangles Now my problem of high sound is too intrusive not from the level but simply from the music. I find it dissolves too far still (frequency band). Does anyone know where I get a low pass filter from about 18kHz or, if I can build it myself ???? And then which values for Wi state and capacitor?? Thank you already in advance

  • Front extension Bora, spring 2007. Purchase and installation consulting

    Hi Leutz, as the title already says, I plan for next spring to expand the front system in my Bora. I know it’s a long time ago but it doesn’t leave me alone and so I would like to start planning now. In order to anticipate the question of how high my budget should be, I can only say quality at the best possible price. Now to the measures: 1. Installation of a reasonable FS. TMT’s that go well in the middle and deep range and HT’s the gently a 2. Installation of the HT’s in the mirror triangle. The HT’s should be “pulled out” with GFK from the triangles. Here I would need a few tips and suggestions for the etching. A few pictures would be great. 3. new stage for the FS. At the moment a small 4 channel Magnat is doing its services as a transition solution. So this to the front. But in the rear should also do something. At the moment the steps for the FS and for the sub are under a platform, in front of the bandpassbox, beigecht, This is supposed to change. I have a kind of shelf on the left and right side of the subbox. Is this something to be implemented, also from the point of view of safety? Are there reports ? Are there possibly also pictures ? Well and then I would also need a new level for the sub. Operating a GZUW 12. So then shoot off and knock out everything you have already many thanks to you. Gruss Koschi

  • Purchase advice Family car

    Hello! We (my wife and I) got offspring three months ago and would like to finally buy a car. The frequent car rental may be a bit cheaper, but it sucks incredibly and eats a lot of valuable family time. The following key points are: -budget: 800€ -Km per year: 5000km approximately, rather less -driving mode: Rather cozy and slow, do not need much PS profile: I don’t need the car to work, there are mainly family visits on weekends (mostly up to 100km per trip), weekend shopping and Baltic Sea holiday (once so 500km). -Place: stroller and travel bed, otherwise nothing extraordinary should be enough for a holiday with a child and another child (in the next 2 years) should still fit. -I don’t care about appearance, I don’t put much value on it. -Others: It’s important to me enough space and reliability, and as economical as possible. -City for possible suggestions: Braunschweig Since I didn’t have a car so far and have little idea, thank you for your help. Initial research revealed candidates like Ford Focus tournament or mondeo tournament. Kombi or Van? No idea honestly what makes sense. I hope you can help me

  • ASSISTANCE with car choice

    Hello dear community Before I personally have hardly any idea of cars and also 2 left hands for crafts ;/ I would like to buy a used car and research for days I do not know if my narrow selection is meaningful. Perhaps in par information about what is looking for. Reliable (Little known diseases) Not to expensive in maintenance ( Insurance , fuel , repair costs especially ) Since I am 1m88 not too little space front small car limousine or cou pe Year of construction depending on the brand so from 2006 Under 125,000 km Whether the car has a lot of space in the trunk or not I personally don’t care. How is the car used? 90% Of for the work path about 7-8km in a direction of which 4km~ highway are. (Rest 50s-70s zone if relevant) What do I want to spend? 3000-450€ ~ These vehicles come with me in the narrow selection Fiat Bravo from 2007 all petrolers between 90 and 150hp ( many have written that the 90hp version it is too weak ) Seat Ib iza so from 2008 ( is often offered with 69hp/ , doesn’t know if that is not much too weak ) Theoretically also a VW Golf 5 comes into question however I think that the maintenance costs are too high , especially with Reperatur ……. Would be very grateful about any tip or comment on the genant vehicles

  • Kombi or Van with automatic for 4 family wanted to 5000 EUR

    Good day, I’m Bastian and I made my FS in 2013. Since I have a disability I want a car with automatic. (if you drive a switchcar). We currently drive a Mitsubishi Space Star DGO with automatic from 2005. He has been enough with a child and also drives enough. Now with 2 children (1 and 3) we often come to our limits …. Had bought me after the FS an Opel Corsa with Easytronic and this then had the usual mistakes…. has cost a lot of money without the he drove right. Even Opel didn’t get it…. therefore no Easytronic or DSG…. Well then what we are looking for: Kombi or Van Automatik driving profile so 8 to 10 T KM p.a. and then rather out of Berlin. So I want a robust combination that offers enough space for woman and 2 children, who has an automatic and he should not be so expensive in the insurance since I am “beginner”. It would be important that the car is clear. In addition, the car should be driven via an air conditioning system and PDC The fuel consumption should be limited, but this is not so important in terms of driving performance. The size is something like A6 Passat or Opel Zafira. The boot should therefore be noticeably larger than with our Space Star. What can you recommend? Summary what is important to us: Combi or Van large boot so no Ford Focus or BMW 3 Series robust automatic transmission PDC air conditioning, which cools properly. (in the Space Star the result is despite In other words, a comfortable combination or van, which is just robust and works. Do you have any other ideas, which can buy with the budget of 5000 €? GGf the budget can also be increased by 1 to 2 000 EUR, if you get something much better for it. But wanted to leave me still money for repairs. Performance is not so important to me, whereby the overtaking on the country road with the 98 PS Space Star is quite tough, rade still with slight climbs. I think this would have to be enough 150 hp. We don’t race, but are rather on the highway with 130. Thank you for the help.

  • Remodelling of Audi 80 16v

    Hey. Have a question. And that’s what I want to equip my 8v 3A Coupe with a 16v head. Has someone really done it? I don’t like “Benutz the search” I’ve already looked for and everywhere it says “let it” or “buy you just a 16v” and such a dööhns. I don’t care how long it takes and how much it took I’m only 19 I’ve got time!:-P Would be really great if someone wrote something that has already converted his motor=). MfG

  • Car radio midwave reception

    Moin, yes, I’m old school and I like to hear middle wave (e.g. DLF, WDR II traffic information on 720 kHz, AFN, etc.) . A question to the real autoelectric specialists : I always had a VW Gamma IV in my Passat 35i; with perfect FM + MW – reception. A few years ago the original part gave up the mind completely, another used Gamma IV came in, all great. Now all of a sudden this had no more MW reception, just to rush and crack. With another Gamma I V, which works perfectly in another passat, no improvement but the same. What can be going on there? –> MW receiver part broken? Obviously not. –> Antenna broken? It is installed as ferrite rod on the radio?

  • Ford 460 BB Grinding Valves

    Hello in the round I’m just about to rework my Big Block Bj 76 and now wanted to grind the valves in. Now an acquaintance told me that it could be that I have hardened valve seats and by grinding in break the coating and that as a result they “burn away” later. Can someone help me? Thank you very much.

  • Ford Mustang V6 vs V8

    Hello, I have to buy a mustang (2013 or 2014) before next year. For financial (and perhaps also a bit for ecological) reasons I think about it after the V6 to the V8. Since I was always convinced, however, a mustang must be a V8 I would like to know the opinion of more experienced mustang connoisseurs. To what extent is the V6 inferior to the V8? Are the over 100 hp more indispensable for sound and driving feeling or is the V6 in Germany d he better decision? Thank you in advance!
