    Post Office - it's worse than we thought..

    Strange request - borrow a USB DAC/amp for a week or two

    I've got a Musiland 02 Dragon you can borrow. Very nice little unit.

    Car sound advice

    Abrie from Acoustic Audio. I'm sure I can do it myself, but to be honest his install price is very reasonable and quite frankly I don't feel like the effort! That's a lot of cabling, about 60m I'm told.

    Car sound advice

    ^^^ I'm getting the Audison AP8.9 8ch amplifier with built in DSP. I've compared this amp to the Mosconi 120.4DSP amp. I love the Mosconi's amp stage, but the DSP on this one is rather basic. The Audison doesn't have the horsepower of the Mosconi, but the DSP is muuuch better thought through and...

    Holy Crap!

    Is it just me or has the Vinyl forums exploded recently? By default I ignore it (obviously) but when I look at the unread threads, the bulk is vinyl! Makes me think of that 'Fools and money' saying  :ROFLMAO:

    Car sound advice

    In the newer cars they don't install looms if the option is not selected, so I'll have to install a loom from the HU to the back to get those signals. Hence my interest in the Mobridge as that makes use of the Fibre cable that's already in the back. SMAC are the local agents and guess what, they...

    Car sound advice

    Thanks boet. I did ask Rivonia for a quote last week and still waiting so that kinda put me off them. I've been in contact with Abrie and will get the Ground Zero stuff from him. I'm just doing my "research" still and making sure I'm going for the right approach based on my needs.

    Car sound advice

    Geesh, have I gone from pillar to post on this. Like I said before, I'd like to stay stock as much as I can... So, I've pretty much made my mind up that I'd be replacing the speakers and will likely go for the Ground Zero setup as that gives good performance for reasonable money. The...

    Car sound advice

    ^^^ you don't say hehe. I've already been reading up on the MOST protocol running through the fiber optics in the car. There is a fiber point right in the boot running to the Telematics unit  ;D

    Car sound advice

    Thanks for all the input guys. I've spoken to Abrie as well, thanks for that. I'm just torn between getting decent performance and as little as possible modification to the stock system. I'll have to seriously give this some thought...

    Car sound advice

    Thanks Gents, I've also looked at the ground zero setup. Again, designed to install in this specific car. But now amplification also become important, the price goes up (at R11k already) and now I'm getting worried that the car is going to be molested to the point that MP might be affected...

    Interesting Forum Members

    Still here, just stupid busy. Actually the first time in two weeks that I have a little time to catch up here. Not that I'm remotely as interesting as some folk here ;D

    Car sound advice

    Yes, I know none of you thought I would ask such a question seeing as I think it's silly. But this is a legit question... I recently changed vehicles and the stock sound in today's BMW's really suck! I'm hoping to improve matters but it's important that everything looks OEM and I'm not into...

    Electronics help? Voltage sensing transistor switch circuit

    Put a diode across R1, cathode going to V+. This would discharge the cap quickly so that you dont have a shorter response when you have a power dip.
