Re: construction finally starts

I was in the process of installing my stereo when I had my accident and it all got derailed from there. I have had plans in the back of my mind this whole time but they were on hold getting it on the road and running. I am in a bit of a holding pattern on my T56 trans swap because my buddy with tra...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power

in previous post I was wrong :roll: with the 3 band. The 3th band is the multiplier number the color code is orange / black / brown orange = 3 black = 0 multiplier brown = 1 gold = 5% tolerance so this is a resistor of 30 Ohm 5% resistor the 5th band is brown, I don't know what this means, maybe ot...

Re: ZX475Ti potentiometer

It is for adjusting output current regulation. Do not mess with it unless you know what you are doing. Actually none of the pots internal to the amp should be dicked with unless you know what you are doing. They are inside and out of reach for a reason :wink: Good thing i didnt say bias pot hahaha....

Re: The new old school?

Getting back into car audio after a long break. A lot has changed. Class D is everywhere. SPL has completely taken over. I do see some good SQ discussions here and there, mostly people from Europe though. Installation quality has plummeted. Back in the 2000's, even SPL vehicles had amazing installs...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power

It is actually a Brown Black Violet Gold Violet and it is a 5 band resistor. The multimeter I have purchased has blown fuses so I will check it when I get the new fuses. Thank you. Fuses are typically for the current measurement, shouldn't affect the resistance measurement. Sent from my SM-G988U us...

Re: Sapphire XS4600 Amplifier no power

FDP55NO6 is a good replacement I think. The color code of the resistors is difficult to see (I'm not so good with colors) I think it's orange / black / brown / gold than it is a 300 Ω 5% resistor. Cut one leg of one resistor and than you can measure the resistor value with your multi meter. It shou...

It was shortly after this pull that it started to make these noises but I will say it was almost worth it for the glorious soun...

Re: ZX475Ti potentiometer

Hi guys, is there anybody know the function of this potentiometer on the main board of the xz475ti ? I dont, but i bet the repair guys do, and usually chime in when the post gets noticed. if you have facebook there is a pg group there that gets much more traffic. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

after I got the cooling system working it was making a rubbing noise from the driveshaft area under moderate braking.

Re: momstang rebuild begins.

My car also has a real tough time bleeding air out. At one point i used a jack to change the levelness of the engine to get the air out, some engines have piss valves built in for problem areas. Im sure you could use your air suspension to trim the car out.
