[ssllyy]

Cheers Stig.

I'm just gonna condition myself, and tell myself that I dont need it, and I dont want it. Hopefully by the time I realise that I've been lying to myself, I'll give in, and go ahead and lose that arm n leg.

Could you please elaborate on this sound processor thing? Is it a little addon or something?

feels shitty beign beaten by a $300 HU and 2 speaker system

[Stig]

its a sound processor which upgrades the signal from the oem head unit which has rca outputs which you connect to amps then powers your aftermarket speakers, i had this running in my car for a while

alpine has one as well, bit more pricey but a bit better than the jl one

so.. i just bought and am in the process of installing my mugen rr kit today and am in desperate need for a front grill !
The only 2 options available seems to be the FD2R one that comes with a badge or the Vision CF one that comes without one.
225 vs 275(+85 for badge) from JDM concept.
Panel beater reckons he can do painting for the grill for free if i get it in to him within the next couple of days, what do you guys think?

[Stig]

what about the mugen rr grill?

[stanz86]

didnt come with it
by any chance u know where i can source one?

[Stig]

if you are going to spray it you might as well get the fd2r one

[stanz86]

yea, just crossing my fingers hoping i can find a mugen rr one that comes with the badges
need more contacts ! will pay comission if you find me one :P

[anansting]

Hey guys,

Does anyone reckon (if they haven't already) having a Honda track day at Sandown (in Melbourne) be fabulous? Why is that not a reality? :P

[curtis265]

organise it then!

Stig, how much does this JL cleansweep thing cost? I'm suddenly craving this sorta thing... oh and how much is installation too?

oh and it says

Q: Can I use a CleanSweep CL441dsp and still drive my
speakers from the factory amplifier?

No. The CleanSweep CL441dsp outputs are specifically designed to drive aftermarket amplifiers and may not be compatible with OEM amplifiers. It is intended to be an interface between the OEM audio system and aftermarket amplifiers and speakers.

Q: Can I use a CleanSweep® CL441dsp and still keep my factory speaker system?
Yes, you could, but it does not make much sense. The factory speakers generally benefit from the OEM equalization curve and would likely sound worse with a corrected signal. The CL441dsp is intended to be an interface between the OEM audio system and aftermarket amplifiers and speakers.

looks kinda hopeless if i don't get a fullon system
