Just bought some 0 gauge AudioPipe from Larry holder in El Secorro at $45.00 per yard looks like good quality wire to my novice eyes. by my measurement I got 9mm or approx 3/8 inch. without trying to compress the strands http://forums.trinituner.com/upload/AudioPipe%200%20Guage%202.JPG http://forums...

There must be Audi forums out there where this has been discussed - try there first.

Is anyone (even the high end brands) still making regulated power supply amps like the old PPI's/Hi Fonics/Alpines nowadays ?

De Hero

I came across a post where the writer (an engineer) discounted the usual ''car audio'' advice that the skin theory of current flow on the outer part of the wire in conjunction a with high strand count meant that one brand of cable with a high strand count would deliver more current than another bran...

Hi Jeff - you probably knew this but your review was "linked" in a DIYMA thread about the Ultimo:-

So for everyone else - try to maintain Jeff's standard - you never know who is watching.

I actually read where the more important consideration is how wide the magnet is not how deep. See this link to an Emminence Pro Subwoofer http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdet ... er=290-570 note how wide and shallow the magnet is. Admittedly it is not an SPL monster - 400RMS power handling - pre...

it could be argued that without the frequency response curves of these two drivers that if you go active you may be a bit in the dark and end up relying on a seat of the pants approach. For example high passing the tweets - you may want to start experimenting at a cross over two times Fs as a starte...

Per Spec sheet on FH P8000BT Pio Head Unit

HPF = 12db /octave

LPF = 18db/octave

No mention if it is link/reilly type

Some of the older AudioControl used a 18db/octave slope eg 2XS concert series.

Thanks Jeff - Will try to do that next event. But just to set matters straight - I have no interest at the moment in competing - I just want my system to sound better.

I dont even know what better means - so I got a lot of work to do.

Thanks roger - yes on PLD's comment (minimise at the outset and have less to to do on TA adjustments at the tuning stage). Do you think that Dome mids would handle the off -axis issues better (in a door location) than cone mids Specifically thinking about say a Dayton RS52 dome. I know that beaming ...

any pics or updates on this build?? What he said................ BTW Roger if you are researching 3 way fronts - any no go locations for a mid-range speaker ? And if tweets are distant from mids how much is too much ? Looking at tweets in sail panel and midrange next to midbass in lower front door ...

Best of luck my friend - the greatest pity about these incidents is the very small sums these guys usually get for the items, in comparison to what it cost the owner to aquire them in the first place..............shame really.

Just wondered why the 2.0 litre makes more power and torque than the 2.5 liter

more compression ?
More aggressive camshafts
Bigger Turbo?
Less anti-emmission devices?

Just wondered

On the pioneer site AAC is listed as one of the formats that can be played by some of the mid to higher end units. You could try encoding to apple lossless and try it. I don't know if the sansa would support playback of AAC. That's another thing to try. An interesting suggestion - I know my Pio can...

I have read some good stuff about these - do your own research, but they are not cheap.

might need to mention what vehicle you have and what subs you have now; ported or sealed?

Yes there is a chance of being ripped off - check the sellers ratings; dont buy from a first time seller; pay with PAYPAL (you'll have some degree of protection). I know I didnt offer a suggestion - that was deliberate - the only thing worse than making your own mistakes is making someone elses. Do ...

Why are you buying new? That is a noobie move, go to ebay and look at used items of good quality that will keep their value, You can source better quality items used for (hopefully) the same price as lower end ones new.

The discussion took place here :-

The interesting quote (to me) was the one which said to the effect that - vented boxes were the most sensitive to leaks at the seams/cut-outs while sealed boxes had much more tolerance.
