hey guys

I have a pioneer head deck bought around 4 years ago... still good enuf to do everythin so I havent changed it..

I juz wanted to know if anyone knows anythin about the LOUD function on them...

i started using it few years ago and my amp at the time shat itself after 2 days (shitty BOSS 4 channel)...

I've got a mono block alpine running my subs now (heaps heaps betta than boss).... juz wanted to know if you guys think i shud try using it again..

I dont even know how it works but it just boosts the sound like crazy... treble and bass both go mental..

any thoughts?

Don't bother. If you stereo isn't good enough for you without it on then upgrade. All loud does is increase the load on the speakers which means you have more chance of doing damage. It is the same as putting any of the equalizer presets on. If you need it on to sound good upgrade. Just my two cents :down:

My old pioneer deck had 3 levels of 'loud', i found my music sounded best on the middle level. This sounded better than if i had loud off, and turned the volume up more - my belief was that worked like an equiliser. I dont think its going to blow your amp up!

Equilisers are needed on the best sound systems - to tweak the frequency response. Just because you choose pop or rock instead of flat, doesnt mean you have a shit sound system.

trav,

personal preference. I have a 32band on mine that is barely touched.

in regard to the loudness button, leave it off. places additional strain on things as you already know.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
