Work this one out remove amp = better sound
by FirebirdPhil, 25-07-2017, 08:54 AM
So I removed the alpine amp and used the now spare rear channels of the 4 way amp (no rear speakers) and bridged these channels to feed the sub - hey presto far better Bass, with technically a lower power amplifier?
Goes to show its not the Wattage but the quality that counts, class A. amp vs Class D.
Now I need a crossover to remove the high pitched stuff getting to my sub as the Rainbow amp is leaking a bit of treble and I think it is system done!!

by FirebirdPhil, 25-07-2017, 08:54 AMHaving improved the sound of my car by removing the rear speakers, I have begun to "tune" the system. I was running the Alpine mono amp feeding the sub, the bass was OK but not like Wozzas gut wrenching system, so I have looked at "improving" this situation even more.

Especially seeing as if someone said the same thing about McLaren stealing Ferrari secrets I probably also would have called that rubbish but that ended up being true.......

Renault Race Fixing
by parthiban, 24-07-2017, 07:01 PMWhat do people make of all this race fixing stuff from Singapore last year? It all sounds like complete rubbish to me, but then I'm confused by how far they're taking it in terms of an investigation.

Debit Card Fraud...Its happened to me :(
by N2KHL, 24-07-2017, 10:01 AM
I phone up HSBC fraud line (as usual straight to an indian call centre) they said these amounts were still pending and they cant stop the transaction they can only investigate it after it happens....I was soo pissed off with this !!!
Seems like im in a fix as they have stopped my current debit card got to wait 5 days for a new one and then have to wait for them to get my money back (its not gone yet but it will!!)
Any one else had this sort of experiance and please let me know if u got all your money back!!

Insurance renewal
by parthiban, 23-07-2017, 04:24 PM
This instantly came in a bit cheaper at £602.93, but this wasn't a big surprise as that's normally the case that you save about £30 with a new quote.
However the big surprise came when I put the same thing through Confused.com and the price came out with protection at £518.98 (which is a huge saving from my original quote). I've now renewed at that price which I'm quite pleased with but I can't understand how they can pay a commission to confused.com and still be so much cheaper than selling directly themselves!
When I speculatively added the exhaust modification that I've been thinking about, the original quote had no difference in price but the confused quote jumped up £40 which again doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but I've left that off for now anyway as I'm a bit confused which one I'm going for.
In any case I'm pretty happy, but wish I understood how car insurance works!
Insurance renewal
by parthiban, 23-07-2017, 04:24 PMThink I did this last year too, but my insurance renewal has really confused me again! Came through the post at £557.46, and as I've now hit 4 year NCB thought I'd do a quick quote online before ringing them up for how much it would be with NCB protection on.
