Re: Audio upgrade to BMW E60 sedan 2006

Remember to check how deep the speaker can be, I have a E39 and upgraded to speakers from Bavsound. I couldn`t have to deep speakers so remember to measure the depth of the speaker hole before bying anything.

Re: Power supply for using PG MS at home.

Jacampb2 you are absolute right, these are 2 HP DPS-1200FB in parallell. These can be adjusted to 12.5V ish but they are capable of compansate up to 1.5V.
So these are modified with a resistor fooling the psu to compensate +1.5V so that the output is 13.6V ish.

Re: Power supply for using PG MS at home.

Now i have the Psu connected to 2 MS275 bridged 4ohm, one on each frontspeaker in a 5.1 setup. It runs very well and i can hardly hear the fans between songs, like Jacampb2 said its whisper quiet. This is a recommended solution with a lot of amperes for the money. My plan is a total of 5 Ms/Mps amps...

Re: Power supply for using PG MS at home.

Thanks for the info guys, i will check how the parallell connection is done. The seller told that the fan is very noisy at high load like 80-90% but hi claimed it was very quiet at low and middel load because it was Temperature and load-dependent. I guess i must hear myself but if its very noisy at ...

Re: Power supply for using PG MS at home.

Hi again, It showed up that the Audioauthority was discounted so i ended up with a guy selling modified server Psu`s. The spec was 13.5V/100A. He could also connect 2 of them together either into 27V/100A or 13.5V/200A. He said they were professional modified to operate in parallell. Not sure what t...

Re: mps2500 vs ms2250

I thought the ms2125 and the mps2500 is the same power but the mps2500 needs lower impedance to deliever max. The Dyno of the ms2125 i believe maxed out 1194w dynamic.
The ms2250 has twice the power and maxed out 2409w dynamic.

Re: What amps to choose, One Exile X2400.1 or two Exile X120

The aesthetics and even the space is not really that important because the amp(s) will be hanging hidden on the backside of the Sub box. Current draw is a factor yes, my car has a 150A alternator and a 100AH battery so the current availability is not that bad. But i wonder what is the ultimate power...

Hi there! Yes it was the AD12 i had in my car when writing this thread. I`m not quite sure but i think the specs on the AD12 is 300W continius and 600W max. I used a Phoenix Gold MS275 2ohm mono on my 2*AD12 so that gave them 150-180W each. Later i used the ZX450 and that should give them 250-300W e...

I new cars i think they put some kind of 12V source in the cigarette lighter hole while changing the batteries to unvoid any problems with the car losing the current. I guess its enough with a small 12V batteri or you can use a small "start helper"
