    Weird rpm at 100 kph

    I have a stock VS Berlina, and normal rpm at 100kph is 1750rpm, now when I go down a hill at 100kph i found my car stays on 1250 for a second then to 1500, then back to 1250 ect. It keeps my car from going over 100 down a hill, but if I accelerate over 105 the problem goes away and the car...

    Sex308 Vs V8

    I don't understand how most people know it as a 308? Everyone i've ever talked to knows the EFI was a 304 and the Carby 5L is a 308. And people who don't no anything about cars don't have a clue what a 308/304 means. Must be a SA thing. Same with the monster tacho in an auto. How many K's and...

    factory door grommits' VT

    Where would retailers make there money if there was no "placebo" effect? All these people with 4AWG running there 200W peak power amps, at $10 a meter. I laughed when my mate told me he paid that. and $3 p/m for remote wire. Back on topic: Go the stock wiring, this way you save time and money

    Crackle

    My stereo just started crackling when the car is running. When it is in ACC it is fine. It just started happening the other day. It also seems like it gets worse the more I accelerate. Any ideas?

    Best audio upgrade for all VN-VP-VR-VS.

    Agreed. I didn't buy my car for someone else to drive and I didn't buy my stereo for someone else to hear. Also I don't have the time and the money to find and fix every little noise my car makes, just so the people outside can hear some muffled song without rattles.

    Anyone seen new radios with volume on right side?

    Buy a H/U with a remote then it doesn't mater where anything on the H/U is. Plus after a week with the remote you will have it memorised and then you don't have to take your eyes off the road to change channel, skip track ect. Plus most of the H/U that come with remote are a little more up...

    Back Seat?

    My mate drove around with no back seat due to passenger restrictions, he never got fined to my knowledge. He removed the seat belt catch first but no one cared about there seat belt and he kept taking people. So this resolved the issue. Sorry I cant give you a definite answer.

    The Apple Irack

    You did realise it was a skit on how the U.S. government stuffed Iraq (Irack) and is sending in more troops even know the people are against it. Also the Iran is how they're looking at entering Iran next. BTW. I thought it was good, also was this on the Colbert Report?

    Best audio upgrade for all VN-VP-VR-VS.

    I agree that rattling sounds ****, but if it sounds good in the car and you are in it, why care what others are hearing? Just like some people like power, others like looks. Do you call someone who spends 15 grand on a motor which makes his run-down car run sub 10secs an idiot. or the guy who...

    vk stereo problems

    Did the factory head unit work before you took it out? I assume no since you say it had no plug. Have you ever done a head unit before? these questions will help us understand your knowledge and how in depth we need to go to get the job done.

    VR Written Off

    There is an old orange corola around the knox area, i think it is a 83 what ever the rear wheel drive was. Any way it has a VP motor in it stock 4 speed corola gear box. I have to say it bloody flies. Runs a 13 something down the 1/4 but the 4 speed tops out before it gets to the end. Not sure...

    amp power cable, No hole in firewall. :(

    over time the outer layer of the power cable (insulation) will rub against the metal of the chassis. Because the chassis of the car is the negative you will have the positive (power cable) touching the negative (the chase) which will cause a short, and to stop damage the fuses will blow. If a...

    h/u recommendation and amplification

    I would get a mono or 2 chan amp for your sub and run the front and rears off the 4 chan. once you have an amp running all speakers the H/U amp is made useless, problem good H/U have good amps. They really should make good H/U without amps built in, to save costs for people who aren't going to...

    Sub & speakers not working

    I second the Response Amps, I have them and they r great. If you say you are an Electus customer they normally make them cheaper for you. the 4 x 100 may be a little high for your splits so keep the gain downs so you don't blow them. Or get one amp 1 x 800 or 2 by 150 for the sub, and 2 x 80 or...

    inverted sub idea

    I think you should paint some of the balls with the orange and green paint that illuminates when a black light is present. This will break up the white only looks. Otherwise I think it is a pretty good idea.

    Best place to mount amps

    Thanks for your replies everyone. I was thinking about the parcel shelf but looked like it was to hard to mount them compared to the rear of the seat. Plus being as smart as I am knowing that heat rises I thought they would get a little hot up there.

    Sub & speakers not working

    Sorry if that was a little harsh, but it is in your car so if you like it then that is all that matters. But sganro said, getting another amp and using all the current stuff will let you no if it is the amp or not very quick. If you can't get a hold of one for free off a mate, you may want...

    Sub & speakers not working

    First if it is a BOSS amp I doubt it is "flash". Try plugging in a mp3 player with a 3.5.mm to 2 RCA or anything with RCA audio outs..If this works this means there is an issue with the RCA's from the H/U or the H/U it's self is stuffed. If this doesn't work then there maybe be an issue with...

    Best place to mount amps

    Thanks for the replies people. Looks like I gotta go get some wood and carpet, also what is the best way to fasten the rear of the seats. I would rather not put it into the plastic of the rear of the seats but the metal beside them.

    What amp for 2 Rockford Fosgate subs

    When you run speakers in your case subs in series, it will halve the resistance (ohms) causing the two 4 ohm subs to become 2ohm. This will allow more power to pass through them and in turn making them louder. That is my basic understanding I'm sure one of the tech heads here will give the the...

    Anyone know of any places that repair amps in SA?

    I'm with daron just go get a new amp, the price to repair it will out way a new one. Might I suggest getting a response amp. Plus if this one isn't complete stuffed he can keep it or ebay bay it for money towards the new one. Just my thoughts.

    have u ever heard these? TS-D691S

    If they are running better of the HU rather then the amp, I would say the amp wasn't set correctly. Cause even cheap amps normally make speakers sound a lot better then running them of a HU.

    VN front speakers..

    Like pr0n said it could be electrical interference entering the speaker wire. Or it could just be the poor quality speakers or H/U amp. if you want good sound, I would suggest an amp and some splits, then through in a sub if you want some more bass. Remember you get what you pay for in most...

    have u ever heard these? TS-D691S

    Did you notice the bass when running them off the H/U or when you put in a new Amp? Also what H/U are you using? All these will help weather your settings are giving this good bass or weather they are just really good speakers. P.S. My mate does have these and they aren't bad for the price...
