I have a coupel of questions that i need anyone to help me with pls

Ive done alot of searching and check out heaps of boot displays all looking awsome.

1. if i airbrush a sub woofer, would it defect the sub woofers performance in anyway or muffle its sounds???

2. is there enough room under pass seat for a PS2 to sit?

3. Where can i get a 12v power suplly for the PS2 to run in car

4. anyone got measurements of the boots

Im looking at running to 12inch kicker square subs, 2 1000wtts (600r), alpine deck, tv monitor above deck, slpine 6 1/2 inch splits in fron, same in back running off a 800w alpine deck, subs are air brushed and there are words in there sum where but cant explain all of it as i need the idea to be MINE hahahaha

I would reccomend looking at other amplifiers than Alpine, as there is a lot of quality out there... namely the US brands: Boston, Phoenix Gold, just to name a couple i have dealt with.

PS2 will fit under the passanger seat, all you need to power up is a transformer 12VDC-240AC (available from most Auto shops). Alternatively you could modify the PS2 itself and run 12VDC directly to the PCB in the PS2 if you know what you are doing.

Personally, i would highly recommend XBOX due to its inbuilt HDD, and capabilitys as a Media Centre, once it has a modchip installed. this will help greatly when driving on bumpy roads! You will also save money on having to buy and extra DVD player for the TV screen, unless your deck is DVD capable.

Dont forget about cabling and sound deadening...

I just recenlty spent $1500 on cabling, sound deadening and optima battery. No point getting compettition components without installing it properly IMHO.

Also i wouldnt worry so much on getting top end speakers for the parcel shelf, as their main purpose is primarily for refill, and SQ isnt really a main factor when you have a quality front stage!

If you are interested in some prices on a high end setup, drop me a PM, or add me to msn and i should be able to help you out!

PM me if you want my msn details, and ill help you out as much as i can.

no airbrushing won't effect, the performance, i spose theoretically it'll make the cone slightly heavier, but it will be really really negligable only thing u wanna make sure of is that if u have any cone flew which might cause the paint surface of sumthin to crack or what effect the crazy vibrations will have on the artwork.....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
