Scriblez i will be doing 99% on my own, thats why its taking so long to get it done, but i think it will be well worth it.

AAA34T, i havent even looked at that yet , that will be done in in the next months.

Ezekiel86, what system do you have in the 260?

Dude your sense of achievement is going to go through to roof once it's done. Good Job mate :thumbsup:, can't wait to see further progress.

I'm gonna be doing something similar to this but only 2 subs on 1 side so I can still use majority of the boot space to carry stuff around.

Ok so my sterio was big then I cut it down fron 4 amps down to 2 and from 3 subs to 1to start draging it and to beable to put my toolbox in the back. The alternator was a pain I had to get the biggest amperage alternator that could find in the standard spot I used bosch 120a alternator vl commo alternator housing and the standard pully the bosch alt would not bolt up and we stripped the bosch 120a internals and put them in the vl alt housing because they would not fit in the standard housing and the vl is a little bigger once all back together works almost great but needs a smaller pully alt does not charge below 1000rpm my car never stops so no major problem for me

it has been a while since i have posted here , ran out of fibreglass, and had no time to get more until a few weeks ago. here is an update video

just testing air leaks and the like. on the handheld Db meter i have, 130Db :)

in theory, you should wire each subs coils in series, then parallel the subs together

It is far less desirable to make subwoofer to subwoofer connections in series. Because of slight and unavoidable differences between speakers and because of the high likelihood of uneven loading between different speakers in a car, there will be slight differences in the mechanical behavior of the two speakers in series. These differences in movement result in induced voltage (called back EMF) being created by the speakers across the series connection. This effect causes a problem when two speakers which behave differently are connected in series because the speakers can modulate each other (cause each other to move), resulting in distortion. The problem becomes more serious as more speakers are connected in series.

A good experiment to show the effect of back EMF is the following: connect four speakers in series and short the positive and negative input leads of the series circuit. Push down on one cone with your hand; you will notice that the three other speakers will move in the opposite direction of the one you are pushing. Now, reconnect the speakers in parallel, short the inputs and push down on one cone. The speakers will not modulate each other because each one is shorted directly.

Back EMF modulation is not a concern when the voice coils of a dual voice coil speaker are wired in series to each other because the coils are physically coupled on one moving mass. Therefore, they cannot possibly modulate each other because they cannot move independently.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
