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

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

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
