lights dim cause of the current the amp draws. but mine does that also Alpine amp most newer good amps have clipping protection to stop cookin ur sub and amp. best bet is to turn it down at the amp, mine cuts out still if i crank it really high. u just need to find the right balance took me 8months in my lancer before i was happy than sold it and brought a system for my mr2 happy with it for now seeming cant get to big a stereo in here

hrmm, try putting all the eq's flat on the headunit, gain on the amps low, and even the freq cut off low. than set those low/high/flat thingos if u got them

than turn ur headunit to 3/4 or 4/5 of the way up than adjust ur cross overs on the amp than adjust the gain up slowly just before clipping. thats how i tune mine and works most the time.

and im not pissed with you cause u gotta r34 :rant: i tune ur stereo u give me ur car deal?? hehe

Maybe the amp just doesn't have enough power to run your sub then? Sounds to me like your overdriving the amp

Driver came into irc chat and asked the same question, and my response was the same as ferni's.... with an analogy that "it's the same as asking us 'why is my room dark' and then not telling us how many lights are in the room, or how many watts the globes are"

In order to diagnose this problem, we need to know the following:

1/ What sort of sub

2/ What sort of amp

3/ What sort of car battery

Get yourself a 1 Farad cap.

The current draw from the Sub amp is sucking too much power and the amp is protective itself.

Same thing happened in my Calais.

The Cap gives the Amp the stored instant energy it needs.

BASS OUT

bass junky nailed it for you mate, your amp quite simply draws too much current from the battery at one particular moment, and the battery can't give the amp the current it needs at that one particular moment, which results in the amp going into safety mode and your bass cutting out....

i would recommend getting a capacitor as well as they stop yours amp cutting out by supplying a constant power to the amp

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
