While you are technically correct, how about we get a little more realistic than quoting text book figures and do some real world testing of a 10 yr old car with crap wiring and see what sort of %% diference you can show then. Oh i'm guessing a whole lot more than 8%, like der ....
Just comparing clean runs of different size is pointless, If that were the case we would never change the default wiring because it would be straight through to speaker. All you've told me is that huge speaker wire is a waste, well i already know that Let me guess, are you an engineer? If so sometimes ya gotta grab that lovely text book you carry and throw it to the sh1thouse Last edited by outbakoz; 19-04-2007 at 09:25 AM. |

pay respect to physics,will you ^^
replacing defective wiring is a must, but be honest: that's not the common reason for most people to pull new wires. marketing bastards managed to make a lot of people believe that the newest super xxx action wiring with 0.001% less oxygen and the secret vodoo insulation is a worthy investment for their car audio setup, while it is clearly not.

nice process thread fhrx. cheers!
I am new here... I have been all over the forum and have not found any tips on removing doorskins yet. I have removed the front ones without any issues, but the rear ones are proving more difficult. Any tips? I already have the door handle screw, and all the clips removed. Its just the armrest/handle and the screws behind it that are holding me up. Sorry if this is detailed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. **edit. It's a 2001 sp20 hatch Last edited by comical_imbalance; 20-12-2007 at 11:03 AM. |

have you got access on both sides? if not good luck.
if you do its difficult but not impossible, expect skinned fingers and bruised knuckles. you have to pop the plug from memory (push tabs in then out of the car) then you can separate the 2 halves

Rubbish
just an extreme example:
here you can see a subwoofer rated with 200 watt of continous power handling.. see the small wires that come from the terminal? THAT is the diameter you need to feed the device properly,no more... The wire to feed a speaker has nothing to do with the wire from the terminal to the voice coil as this wire even though it is small in thicknes it is rated higher its equivalent would be 12 gage speaker wire. its like comparing an apple with a pineapple Please dont be fooled Parrot 22 years in car audio instalation http://www.rlsnell.20m.com http://www.autowreck.com.au http://z3.invisionfree.com/APV/index.php http://photobucket.com/apvparrot http://www.youtube.com/user/parrotscaraudio Last edited by Parrot; 05-03-2009 at 12:07 AM. |
