just sent my car in to have it stereo finally put in. below is what going inside.imnot good with model nubers so ill post them here later.

the New Elipse all in one DVD deck.

Eclipse 6" splits

eclipse 6" rears

2 4channel fusion powerplant amps (500RMS each) Speakers

2 2 channel fusion powerplant amps (580rms each) Subs

2 12" fusion powerplant subs. in a fibre galssed boot.

2 2 faren capacitors

2 head rest screens 5 1/4"

shit load of sound dedener.

i think thats everything.

the boot is getting a custom mold (no spare tyre). fusion green

i'll conferm all the power outputs and model numbers sometime this week. dont pick if there rong.

ill get some progress pics and the final product when done. notice the key word "when"lol

I am not trying to have a go at anyone, but I just have not seen fusion perform. If its the right price yeah go for it. I am not at all trying to say i have the best stereo around, no where near it, but for example, the Fusion WRX just made 140 db with 3 15's and a hell of a lot of power at the 2003 jamboree. I would have thought it may have performed a little better.

My car got 148 db with two 12's at jamboree, and i had a few bugs that i have been iorning out.

Honestly good luck man, i hope it all works out!

Happy Stereo-ing

well its everyone to their own .. its their car so they can do what they like .. i agree that fusion is probably not the best for power and spl and even sq for that matter ... but u gotta agree that their green aliens are pretty cool :) .. but yeah in car audio theres always something thats better than something else ... if u really wanted some power u'd try and get some adires and all these other american brands u've never heard off ... well i can't wait to see this install ... should should kick my pissy diy install :(

Why two caps though?

I thought you need 1 farad per 1000wrms. that setup is around 2000 wrms looking at the amps (580x2 + 500x2 = 2160wrms) thats a lot of power. I'm running an mtx amp with a 0.5 farad cap, no diming lights! :cheers:

Sorry if i offended or pissed anyone off. Just saw he was using eclipse hu and splits and thought must be goin sq setup, that's why i was kind of curious about why the fusion gear?

the fusion 12" powerplants perform really well if your after nice booming bass. i aint going for spl as my box wont be ported im just going for a big bass (if that makes sence). the eclipse splits and rear six inch's will compensate for the sq. sq is my first priority as it is a dvd deck. i'll be in adelide a few weeks after its finished and in warnambull next weekend (if its finished) so if anyone want to see give us a pm.

my ford has a 1 12" powerplant in it and i was quite happy with the results i got from that. 133db. ported box though.

i might of forgot to mention it before but dont quote me on the outputs and stuff. as for the caps.... 1 per sub will make sure it hits hard and strong first time and every time. ill get the exact specs hopefully to you today but most likely not until sometime next week. :cheers:

With all due respect, dimming lights are a sign of bad system wiring and caps are a band-aid fix for a bigger problem.

Before you start buying caps, you need to have a good look at the wiring in the system. Then take a look at the charging system and power storage. If there is a problem, upgrade the battery and alternator before buying a cap. :P

You're right. But there was no dimming before the cap. It was just added just in case and the battery although not deep cycle is not standard. Some people with yellow tops and upgraded alts still run caps. Dimming lights are a bad sign but it doesn't happen to me :D All the wiring in my car is perfect (I've had a lot of practice) and also the wires are nice and short. Caps are only a band aid if you are having problems with dimming light before you fit 'em. But you are right if you are having electrical problems then look into the other parts first. A cap may not even help!

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
