  1. message NOS! he mite want 2 though as his car topped out at 140 this morning! lol sorry just couldnt help it!!
  2. what confusses me is that how a less powerful amp could blow a more powerful sub up! lol
  3. thats exactly how i wired the amp SupraP-Z! I not fused on a refund just a replacement! I have a mate that will buy it if i get the replacement. Im a retail manager myself and no way would i be like this to one of my customers! You all have had very simler views also being the same as mine! Thankyou all for the advice! I will let you know how i get on with this subject! Any more opinions feel free to post up as i will check this regularly! Paul
  4. haha i was thinkin that when that Laura girl joined up .... pages and pages of smelly sweaty men saying hello lol
  5. wiard thing is the correct revs and speed show up on the boost controller! So i must be something around the clocks? Will try another earth on sunday.. were is the earth on the clucter? Regarding the odo not clocking up i ment the digital milage!
  6. thats rite mate thats how i wired it to be 2ohm! Im goin to have to see what they say about the amp! but as u guys said it blew on an 350rms amp (when its a 400rms sub) there is issues! If they say the amp is fine im just goin to have to say theres an issue with the sub!!
  7. the sub can be set up in 2 ohm so i wired it up 2 ohm... they showed me how as it was in the instructions of the sub...
  8. i will fitting sunday so i'll posting pics up scott
  9. all settings on the amp were less than 1/2 way on the knobs. The sub sounds nice and crisp and want destorting! It wasnt at its loudest but nor quietest! Details on amp: http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/5624.html And deatails on the sub: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.asp?cat_id=4&series_id=31&family_id=55&item_id=108285&locale=en_US&p_status= As you can see even the RMS on the amp is lower on than the subs RMS And no its was bought from autotronix
  10. i know what u mean when things go wrong, even the smallest of things and its heart breaking and u just want sumin new to take your mind to a new car. But just get it sorted, wait a week to 2. and then go from there bud!!
  11. haha 1st pi of the dog its looks supprised as hell! as in "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT OVER THERE" haha either way cute dog!
  12. Hay all. Sorry another thread but an issuee im not really sure on how to deal with this so im after some opinions and maybe some "sales good act" advice. Ok as some of you know i recently fitted a Rockford Fosgate sub, wiring kit with an alpine amp, all bought from the same shop at the same time. About 2 weeks ago i was driving listening to music then a burning smell appeared and a "zip pop" kinda sound happend and the amp was dead. So i went back to mine to find that the 2 20amp fuses had poped. So i replaced them and the the amp fired up fine but the sub was buggered! So i unscrewed the sub, took it out and a massive woft of smoke came out with it! So straight away i think the sub as gone faulty, so the following tuesday i return the sub for them to send off to Rockford Fosgate! I got a call a week later to tell me the sub wont be under warrentee as they say its been "missused" (god knows how its been missused, im not playing tenis with the dam thing) So i went to the shop i bought it from and the Rockford Fosgate rep was there when i turned up for them to tell me its not warrentee the voice coil has cooked but they will give me a new one for £100 isntead of £180!! ITS 2 WEEKS OLD CHRIST SAKE !! So as you can imagine i wasnt to impressed. The Rockford Fosgate rep suggested it could be the Apline amp, so thats at the shop for testing at the moe. But what if the amp is fine and they refuse to exchange under warrentee? Now some of you most probly thinking "u had it too loud" But the max power of the sub is 800 W and the max power of the amp is 700W so its a less powerful amp than sub BUT i have all setting turned no more than 1/2 way to keep clearly within the RMS of 400W...... So its not my fault inthe slightest (as well as my mate at another audio place feels) and im discusseded in the way this has been delt with. I just want my money back now, if not at least an exchange of a new sub and i will sell on as i want nothing to do with this store i bought it from, from now on!!! And i will only buy from my very helpful mate at his place! Sorry its alot to read but advice would be fantastic!! Thanks Paul
  13. Hay all. ok i ordered a few new interior bits to clean up the inside of my car a lil. One being the hand brake handle (as mine is showing worn marks). So i got my local car shop to order me a nice leather Richbrook one and also a gator to go over the orignal flat plastic one. (so the hadle fits flush) Iv pretty much sussed a nice tidy way of fitting it all but im just making this thread to ask some you u to kindly post up pics if you have leather hand brake gators of how you made your look tidy. Aslo i take it the orignal handle just pulls off? Thanks Paul
  14. i didnt mind the show but i feel they tryed to be funny like top gear at time but the jokes and sarcasem were just were just cringing somtimes

  16. depends what kinda trade u after? Fruit? Meat? The finest of pine wood? Sorry im in a bizzar mood I always feel whifbitz is good for supa specialist stuff, u may find ever so slightly cheaper but tbh id rather pay that tiny bit extra because with Paul u get genuine advice!! Hes north enfield but im from east anglia and i get there in an hour... Hope that helps mate
  17. haha thats what i was thinking
  18. ok a refesh with peoples head a lil for some help here. Ok i unplugged the speed converter and the odo didnt clock up and the speed reading from the boost controller displayed my speed at 00 so i prosome the the converter is working correctly. After giving the contacts a clean the tacho started working but now has stopped but with no life from the speedo. So maybe a wiring loom issue? maybe were the converter is hooked into it? Any thoughts will be great. Thanks Paul
