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!

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
