Hey Guys,

Currently in mr Stag I have a full Pioneer system.

- Carosseria Headunit

- 12 Disc Pioneer Stacker

- Kevlar Splits

- 260w Coaxials

- 1000w Pioneer Sub

- 800w monoblock amp

Now I have since aquired a sponsor. Blaupunkt. Now I have never actaully heard any of their systems. Anyone got a Blaupunkt System?

Anywho, this is the new plan.

- 2x Velocity VC650 6.5" Splits 120w RMS (Front and Rear)

- Velocity VX652 6.5" Co-axials 120w RMS (Mounted on back Pillars)

- 3x VW 1200 12" 1200w Sub (Mounted 2 facing out, 1 facing in)

- In Dash DVD player touch screen

- 2x 6.5" Headrest Monitors

- 3x Velocity Monoblock 1x400w amps

- 1x Velocity 4 channel 4x100w amp (For the splits)

hmmm....yeah thats about it. What are your thoughts?

Blaupunkt are pretty good. They will rival most other brands out there at the moment. I would especially take it if they are a sponser and that stuff is cheap / free...

One thing tho... I wouldn't use a 400W amp on a 1200W sub... You are always best to have more power than needed when powering a sub. Otherwise you will find that the amp will either go into protect mode (when up loud) or the amp will start to distort before the sub does and will try to make the sub reproduce its lovely distored sounds and cause damage to the sub.

Take a look at the true RMS figures on the sub (if they will tell you) I wouldnt be surprised if that was 1200w in good conditions for 3.5 sec. I would imagine you will be tunig the system to play below the point of distortion anyhow :O Anyhow, all this gear should sound pretty smegging good, id' love to see some photos when she's done.

Well because you will find when you go for sponsorships 9/10 times you will get a Quasi sponsorship. Heavily discounted. I am not at liberty to say how much though... Contract :( But yeah, I'm currently in negociations for a full sponsorship. They just dont hand them out to anyone though.

If you want a sponsorship, have a talk to some companies. Pitch some ideas, sell yourself :)

nope, seen quite a few blaupunkt head units though, quite good... different and unique...

the information on the sub on their website says that the 380 sub (1000watt rms) has a frequency response of 25 - 1000hz, but like every other place, they dont state a price, they also dont say shit about it being either a dual magnet, dual voice coil, the strength of the magnet etc...

normally that isnt stated for a reason, so i can only assume that it is a single magnet single coil, meaning, if it is powered correctly, it will burn out the coil pretty fast...

due to lack of info, and better options out there, i wouldnt pay more then 300 for one of those, even then, i know better subs to buy...

and as for your contract, ANYONE and EVERYONE can and should get discounts on electronics... never buy the sticker price, they are rediculously priced... if they say they cant give a discount (and its not on special) ask what you have to do to get one, if they say they really cant, f**k em...

Blaupunkt are ok, they are usually more associated with head units though, but have a nice range of stuff. Its not high end, but better than some.

I can't believe they only have a 400WRMS amp (I gather its a mono amp). Thought they would have had a more powerful version, especially if they are quoting 1000WRMS for some of their subs.

The 12" VW subs that are 1200watts are probably only 400WRMS.

You won't 'burn out' a coil.... If you overpower the sub then your a good chance at it. It doesn't matter how many coils there are.

Stick with the power recommendations from the manufacturer, keep your amp gains adjusted appropriately to prevent clipping and they will work for a loooonng time.

Thanks for your help champ. The VW subs are 1200w rms each :huh:

C'Mon People. Someone must of heard or own a Blaupunkt sub

what would you like to know about the brand.( I sell the complete line.) also did you chat with the dealer or the manufacturer?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
