  • Use external hard drive in the car

    Hello guys, at the moment I use an Archos AV 700 MP3 player as an audio source. This one has a USB host, to which I can connect an external hard drive, on whose data one then has trouble-free access. So now I want to pack an external hard drive into the car, the power supply is relatively easy, here is a car adapter with 2 amps for the cigarette lighter. But which hard drive do you take? Most of them probably are relatively stoss sensitive. I would have 200GB in addition, but would also be nice 300 or even 400GB, because I really have a lot of music. Since I am working in the field, I live in the car and want to use as much storage space as possible. A car computer is not possible, because too expensive and too expensive. Who has already installed an external hard drive and can give me tips, which record to recommend? Thank you for your answers in advance!

  • A4 B5 which bags?

    Who has links to topics here or at all recommendations what fits in an Audi A4 B5 on loudspeakers but in the original openings and so that you can not see anything from the outside. I have one in the front doors below, and at the top of the door handles is the tweeter. On the hat rack there are also two speakers. What fits there and what is good for what? In the trunk 2x 25cm for the bass in a 100l box. To the necessity I would also plug in the doors behind, but also there only something which at the end looks as original as possible.

  • Hifonics Goliath 2400 Watt RMS installed in garage???

    Hello, we are building a 100m2 garage, it is almost finished. I wanted to install a system there. Now my question. Instead of a normal sub box, can I also take this sub for? Have the above described sub installed in a band pass with cable connection for the power stage in the car (I don’t need that, do I?) Has a Hifonics Colossus XI removed the system from my car because the car has problems. That’s why I wanted the garage with the box (i.e. only bass) and natural h 4 normal loudspeakers equip When it comes to it, what do I need to connect the box to the amplifier of my home system. In the car it was just these transparent strands cables, which surely everyone knows. Or it might not work at all. Have still an older system, at that time I had connected the sub for testing times but the system went out automatically at volume 10 of 50, I think. So probably not properly connected no plan. help iner Thank you

  • 2 Emphaser 15″ Neo SPLs in the Bandpass

    Hello, a friend of mine would like to install two 15-emphaser Neo SPLs in a band pass. The whole box should then be in a BMW M5. The port should play through the ski bag. My question is about how much volume we have to expect. Does someone from here have experience with the woofers and could help us to calculate a suitable housing? Music taste is actually everything. The box should be a compromise between level and draught. TSPs from the woofer: fs : 31Hz qts : 0,46 Vas : 89,5 xmax : 22,5mm I have not found any more data. But you should be able to count on that. I posted the same already in the dbdrag forum, but there came not so much resonance hope here can help us more people. For answers we would be grateful Greeting Funtiger83

  • What do the cross-blown phaeton-hunnen-w…xer want here?

    moinmoin, a neat thread with theme that revolves around the treatment of the s-class, suddenly come 3 different users who seem to be followers of the result of the unsuitable attempt of the former beetle builders to construct a luxury limousine (respect, phaeties watch – double genitive, do you know the?). one kisses a few times irritable words like na…ipack pure, immediately there is a moderater with a similar name that does it. hello what, is that – teamwork? that’s yes like the argumentatively supported rust-basing, where a mod called monsun or something similar is immediately available and closes. is this already under migration control or what? there are a few others here besides me, who are NOT na..zi..pack, stupid newspaper reader or Jungbubis. they are not even so young, work really honest (but not too hard) for their ships and their good life and of course also discuss here, what for half-brain, stupid newspaper reader or Jungbubis si ch already old cucumbers from the stable of the s-classes perform and then tinker. there is the opinion of phaeties completely uninteresting here. do you not have enough discussion material or discussion participants in your forum that you have to let off steam here? oh what, close now, for me every white glove and even a v-card is too bad (that really only the i-sider understands). so long

  • S500 W220 goes in stand on “D” from time to time out help ! ! !

    …tja, what should i say, otherwise everything is normal. If I turn on “N” at the traffic light it doesn’t happen either, at least it didn’t happen today. Today my car went out 4 times, at 4 consecutive red traffic lights ;-( As if it has too little speed and then simply “deaths” This happens on petrol as well as on LPG! Does anyone have an idea?

  • W220 sometimes goes out and after time back on and later…

    Hello Have the following problem. First it was the following… You could drive normally when you parked it and e.g. went shopping he didn’t jump on after that* After a few minutes everything was ok Today I was in a workshop and they changed the petrol filter (at my request). I got out of the workshop and drove a little afterwards braked because of traffic lights and the engine went out. But it doesn’t always go out as soon as I stand or the revolutions go on stand gas. Got it again After about 10 minutes he went on and I drove back to the workshop (no Benz workshop). According to the mechanic, you could not find a fault by connecting the diagnostic device. The petrol pump probably does not get any juice because he checked it. Which relay is responsible for the gasoline pump they could not check because you did not have the information in the program and it was just before worktime. Returned home and after some stop&go again from u And after about 15 minutes it went again. In front of the garage stopped and you can imagine what was *When turning around the key everything is normal to the last one, i.e. it sounds like there is no fuel. So I write it this way… Keys turn around dududududududududududududududududududududududududududud, etc. until I turn around again to turn out, so to speak. Can someone please help?

  • Bad tires in the back?

    Hello all, I have for my Audi A3 (8L), two bad (approx. 2 to 3mm) and two good (min. 4mm) winter tires (believe the Bridgestone Blizzak LM 30 or how they are called). Now my question, how do I place the tires best? Should I do the two bad back? Thank you. LG Michele

  • Aluminium rim support surface with wheel hub shader processed Shit

    Hi, I bought a new used vehicle. After I changed the front brake discs, I switched to the AluWinter rims. What struck me is that they cause a slight imbalance or steering wheel flutter. I asked myself the question if I possibly made the mistake, because I have the support surface of the rim with a wheel hub shader sanded the dirt on the inside. Can this cause something like this? I didn’t print it up quite firmly but tried with le I have the following options. 1. Tire balancing 2. New tires Can you re-grind the inside of a rim? If so, what does that cost? It’s original. 18 BMW rims and a pity to throw away. The tires have a little less profile in the middle than outside. Maybe it’s also because of that. What do you mean?

  • Interval and service life of RDKS?

    Hello together, I bought a used Peugeot partner year 2015 at the end of April. The vehicle was sold to me with the summer tyres, which had already been pulled onto the vehicle during delivery in 2015, the tyres still look great, have still a lot of profile and are obviously not yet “hard”. In order to provide for the winter I bought a set of worn out summer tyres (only because of the rims). So far I have always bought my tyres online g of course I used new valves for every new tyre assembly. Now I have a vehicle (my first with RDKS) with active RDKS and have thus also installed sensors in the rims. The 4 sensors incl. valves cost on the internet from just 120 €. Do I now need new sensors for the winter tyres when changing wheels or can I continue to use them until one is defective (or battery is empty? ) ? I would like to have new valves on it, but 30 € per valve with RDKS is already happy. All how many years should you, or do you have to change the sensor? Sorry for the long text, but this topic has occupied me since I bought the car^^ Thank you for your help!
