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!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
