hey guys.... urgent help needed....

heres the problem me and Mr32_bigboy did an install in my r33 today, and for some reason [mind u EVERY PART IS BRAND NEW CABLING!!!!! from rca's to power to ground and rem wire... etc...]

problem is, everytime i start the car up , the amp goes into protection mode and both of us went everywhere to try and figure out what the hell is the go...

we disconnected the power and ground from amp to the subs.... and it still tripped out.... plugged it back in, disconnected the rca's and then started the car again and it didn't trip out.... plugged in the RCA's and then the subs worked...

now for some reason, the RCA's are brand new, nothing is damaged with them and the REM wire only has a join at the loom of the back of the head unit...

can anyone please help me out ?!??!?!?! id like to know, im sick of starting my car with the RCA's disconnected then haviong to replug them every DAMN time *sigh* just so i can have my subs

having a really thin pissy remote wire wont cause anything.... or having the stock battery grounding point on the chassis, is the same as my amps ground contact [same bolt aswell]....

please this is urgent that i fix this... im hoping i haven't ****ed anything, then again i dont see how seeing everythign even the AMP is brand new but 6 months ago so theres no more "warranty" with it....

i cant find any shorts... so all i can think thats tripping it, is an INPUT overload... but im lost *HELP!!!!!*

hrm figured out the problem.... it was put into the pre out and it didn't like it... plus the input level was set too high [gain on amp was too high for it to like me]....

so its now all turned back to min, and im getting the boys to tune it / give me some advice how i can get this system cranking a bit better... possibly need a gell cell battery wired up AND / OR a capacitor... if anyone has either please PM me and let me know.... ill be in the price range to buy one soon enuff cheers

ive only got 1 problem to sus out now and that is to figure out where this HUMMING noise in the subs is produced from... only the power wire [boot] and its across the other side of all the other wires *groan* only wire running with the RCA is the REM wire.. which is thin as all **** [which may be the problem... not sure ]

cheers guys...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
