Hi all,

Can any fellow Perth based Stagea owners recommend a place to get audio install work done? I'm looking for people that acctually have worked on stageas before, not the ones who are willing to "give it a go" as they usually break something in the process :D

Cheers!

alternatively, if you dont want to pay a shop to do it, i've mucked around inside the dash of kylies stag, and can give you a hand. :D

+1

unless you are going to install an in-dash DVD player with a roof mounted screen

Then i will run away screaming and flapping my hands like a 10 year old girl :D Been there, done that and have the therapy bills to prove it.

Have'nt contemplated doing this yourself or phoning a friend with a day or two to spare?

If you have the know how, do it yourself as you know you will take care or your pride and joy,

save $$$$ and learn a bit about working on your car.

Manufactures design everything to pull apart soooo easy these days, Nissan/Toyota/Ford especially easy to work on.

Or see a helpfull person like Mitchy.

sounds like a plan mitchy.. what did you do to kylie's stagea?

well.. it originally had a deck/amps/subs/speakers changed, and i removed the deck/amps, to rewire them as it was all over the shop.

the rest of it is pretty straight forward, many a car has had its guts spread out all over our driveway. :P

I wouldnt mind giving it a go myself, but I've never wired an amp before and dont know whats involved etc.. i'm sure i'll be able to do it after someone has shown me how once.

The car has a japanese pioneer carrozeria GPS/TV unit which I was going to ditch, but i managed to wire my ipod to it and got both audio and video running sweet so its a keeper... took two days and i lost some hair, but worth it.

Where do you live mitchy? and what beer do you like?

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
