For example, if you amp has 2x30amp fuses, I would fuse the power cable at approx 40/50 amps, if you add another of the same amp I would use an 80 amp fuse. Now this is wrong... voltage drops the longer and thicker is the cable. Rather use 5-10A bigger fuse or the same the amp has. Never smaller. L...

Josh: why did you use small pieces instead of doing the whole board?
what speakers did you have before Focal? If not stock speakers, then was the improvement immense? What amp are you using for those Focals?

Well in this case, Alpine and Pioneer are equal imo. Maybe, yes, Alpine is a bit better as it seems to have less flashy things. The problem with new Pioneer head units is, that everything has to blink and flash and i hate that. Best headunits that i know, are old school Pioneers such as DEH 835 and ...

does that mean that the tweeters will pick up the right frequency without additional equipment?
Exactly.

KarlM: i know about the retrim :P I'm also currently considering replacing all the seats.
A bit offtopic but has anyone installed two bucket-seats in the back? I wanted to do that in my audi once but the seat was too tall to fit. i wonder if Polo has the same problem...

Also people, bare in mind that to gain +3dB, you have to double the power of the amps... So you get the idea of extremely good installation when someone bumps out 145dB with a single 12" sub, for example. KarlM: what exact subs did you use and also what amp? Sounds to me that the number you got...

Come on... what has your 6*9 to do with spl?? Sound Pressure Level is generated by low frequency, the sub. Want more pressure, upgrade you sub and amp or the box. These are all connected. And what kind of measurer was it? Simple hand-held? Probably yes and those things generally are not accurate at ...

Well... low frequency is supposed to be reproduced by the element ment to reproduce this frequency. 17cm speaker really cant do it as it's not supposed to. It just doesnt have the conearea big enough. When we talk about bass, then 8" element is the first size to get close to do the job. Do not ...

It was very easy to do but i do these things daily :P If you put the tweeters too low, the whole soundstage will be low and that's not good. Also tweeters should almost never be faced towards the driver but that's a long story. Doorpanels will also be cool and so will the amp/sub setup. Currently wo...
