I think i'm going to buy one of these really soon...'cause the amp i'm using for my sub is grossly underpowered.

http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?...x=&SUBCATID=595

$159 for a single monoblock - pushes 240Wrms into 4ohm or 290Wrms into 2ohm. Fine for running a reasonable sized sub. Nothing fancy, but it will do the trick until you get something a little more expensive..

If i can find somebody else to buy one, only $143 each for 2+, or $127 if we can find 4+ people. You will have to pay me the $ before i go fetch, can mail it to you at your expense.

Easier if its in melbourne..

I'm in Melbourne. There is a store in Adelaide as well (and most states actually).

I was hoping to just buy at the same store and get the discount that way. I should probably speak to them and see whether they can spread it across states, so you can just go in and get one at the discount rate at your local store. I will find out!

It would be pointless buying from the same place and sending when i think about, as in thee end the postage charges would end up pretty much null the discount.

If its too much stuffing around, i may just go buy one, and kill this group thingo.

Here is their response regarding interstate..

To obtain the bulk pricing you would need to purchase all of the units in one location and one transaction.

So looks like i would have to buy in Melbourne or post off to interstate, making this more attractive to people in Melbourne only unfortunately.

hmmm, to be honest I couldn't tell you as i don't have one (yet) But i have heard they are pretty well regarded for what they are, and usually the jaycar/response amps are 2-3x times less than what the equivelent bigger brand name amps such as kenwood, Sony, etc with similar quality. I doubt it would be up to something like an Alpine, Fusion, or the like - but then again their bottom range ones are twice as much.

For that price, if its not up to scratch then you can always buy a better one later on.

RayT, you need to contact me to organise so I can send you yours..

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
