Yeah just went to JB they had the JVC-S985 for $489. I asked can you do it cheaper. He said $450. I said well you had it for $400 before Xmas (Had no idea if this was true, heh).... then he goes alright $430. And I took it! $60 off and $110 of RRP aint bad for this unit.

Also I was also looking at the next model up the one with the flashy screen and all that bs and he said it wont be as good cause it only outputs 2V preamp whereas the 985 does 4V. Can someone tell me what the difference would be?

Does it mean the amp doesn't have to amplify as much sound?

it means that the RCA level out is carried to the amplifier at 4Volts rather than 2V. Alot of people purchase an Eq (usually about 7Volts) or a Line Driver which does the same thing. The better you get your sound to the amp the better sound you are going to get out... less signal loss=better quality sound.

by the way the salesman failed to mention that the KD-LH2000 (cool graphics) has a 24bit DAC (Digital Audio Converter) this is the highest quality audio converter on the market!!! i notice the difference, some ppls don't. :D

If you go direct to Hagemeyer (the Aust Agent for JVC) you can buy what they call "repacks". My bud has bought a few JVC decks and his current one is an mp3 deck. He paid about $200, in the box, unmarked with all docs & full factory warranty. Hagemeyer are in Alexandria (Sydney) I think.

ACtually the 985 has 24bit DAC as well. Well thats what the box says anyways ;)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
