I've got a dCi 80, it returns over 70mpg when I want it to, that's over 700 miles from a £52 fill up. It goes like stink for a diesel and surprises many a bigger car and more than enough smaller hot hatches to keep me in front, well happy and the other driver rubber necking at the side badges...
Bull$hit. You clearly know next to nothing about the subject.
It's one thing flogging stuff, Dan, but you've a lot to learn about giving the customer what they want, as well as a lot to learn about the fundamentals of sound reinforcemment in ANY situation; studio, club or (it would seem by your...
I'm doing another install this/next weekend. Piece of pi$$.
So is taking a house from 'not fit for human habitation' to 'on the market' 'Lectrics, gas, plumbing, plastering, carpentry, bricklaying ...
Easy when you know how.
That might be the case, but why bother trying to put other people...
Run your details through confused.com. you can sign up with a fake name and email, just use a postcode local to you.
If you like the quote it pukes up, go direct to the insurer.
Noted :)
MDF rings aren't difficult to fit and the standard wires are fine for non amped drivers. Amps can be added later, the 17's can be adapted to another car down the line .. buy cheap you buy twice .. but whatever you do, pay heed to the db and sensitivity. Every pimply faced youth who's...
Pioneer TSE-1302i' - Frequency response - 35 to 40,000 Hz - Sensitivity (1W/1m) - 88 dB <~~~ Bogus
Pioneer TS A172C - Frequency response 35 - 25.000 Hz - Sensitivity (1W/1m) 91 dB <~~~ Cool
The lower the sensitivity, the harder the amp has to work to produce the same wattage at 1 meter...
What ? In the footwell ?
This is the real world, Dan, they want a decent sounding cheap replacement speaker, on a tight budget which can be done by someone on thier drive with a screwdriver. You still haven't answered my questions re: sensitivity and frequency response and that's because you...
So you agree: sensitivity is important ? good.
Now lets move on to RMS (Root Mean Square) and dispense with all that MPO tosh.
http://cbll.net/articles/pmpo gives a simple explanation why MPO is bunkum
As soon as you hear some spotty oik in a shop say the words Music Power Output you know...
I'd say standard head units or sub £100 replacements so that'll be 25W to 50W per channel ?
Therefore (as you work in car hi fi you will know) that the sensitivity rating of a driver unit is,
in this instance, paramount (not irrelevant) when examining the spec of the speaker.
Rough Guide...
I have mate. DanR hosed the thread.
I've no axe to grind, so company connections, no formal training, but I've been bang into hi-fi for 25+ years and I trust my ears.
Just make sure the sensitivity is 90db+ (easier for your amp to drive the speaker) and the frequency response is around 30Hz...
But, that's not what they want, is it ? At this price, the figures are more relevant.
They want components.
The ones they were looking at were gash.
the ones I suggested will reproduce a bit of bass, the others won't.
That's it.
Saying I don't know what I'm talking about isn't helpful, I know...
Wanted to add this but was oot.
Before this thread gets out of hand I'll suggest that someone who's involved with the group buy, buys or downloads a sound system test cd and takes it along to their local car audio place. Play a 30Hz test tone through various speaker units. If you can hear the...
