gay..

rockford subs and amps.

warmer sound.

stronger more stable bass.

Not according to the car audiophiles/workshops & various awards

W6 line of JL car subwoofers are renowned for their SQ and pretty sure they have won many awards with that line of subwoofer.

This was 2-3 years ago but I'm sure the same still applies

Just sayin

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I was referring to the alpine range.. Although I'm not really a fan of JL audio either..

Especially the type r splits and co ax.. Never liked them at all. I really like the original MB Quart and the now German meistro. They are fkn awesome. I don't car what any JB hifi sales assistant says.

Fk especially hooked up with the Rockford 360.

Man memories of sitting In the car for hours tuning with the laptop

I dig my Type R splits. You do have to stage them properly though - not speakers you can really be facing away from. My Type S sub does alright for what it is too, anymore and my 17 year old car would rattle to pieces.

JL amps are very good value for money. They made a name for a reason!

I'm pretty sure they basically made a knock off of JBL audio lol..

And me being an OCD audio guy, I can't stand the poor projection of the alpine range especially the harshness of them.. I can understand the value for money thing, but poor sound actually gives me a headache. You can blame mark for making me notice thing I probably would never have noticed before lol

I don't think Alpine count as value for money, except for maybe Type S stuff. They are more "get what you pay for" and sit in the medium cost range. It's not high end stuff but it's no JB HiFi combo sale package either. Fortunately all my gear came with my car.

If I was doing a system again in a decent car I'd hit up Boston/Rockford/Focal. Do it once do it properly!

Yeh that aswell, but why would you spend money on good support for shit speakers?

Being in audio you figure out how to make everything sound it's best. Whatever the position or setup be, or limited to..

Plus the better the speaker in most cases the less you have to worry about volume measured boxes or ported.. Or even the position they're in.

6x9 should never have been invented. Waste of time and money. The ones in my car annoyed me so much that I unplugged them lol

But focal/Rockford/German meistro.. All these you really don't have to worry about the position as they project substantially better than alpine shit.

My opinion anyway everyone likes different tunes, I prefer the warmer sound, where some actually like the middy sort of stuff.

I believe you get a lot better sound per dollar value in spending on setup than speaker models.

Put in the research and time and your average speaker models could sound as good as your higher end models if their setup is done poorly.

I've recently built a decware deathbox II enclosure. Haven't tested it yet though. However it's all wired up.

Anyone have a 1ohm stable amp for me to test?

I have a feeling mine might be 1ohm stable....

Will need to check, I used to be into car audio a few years go but not anymore. I can't even remember the model of the amp :/

At the moment its 1200wrms @ 2ohm for my sub

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
