New member Username: Boomingdub1331Post Number: 5 Registered: Mar-05 | do you have a digital gauge or is it the spindle that turns and points to numbers when u rev your engine? |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 314 Registered: Oct-04 | Can you hear your car RPM actually jumping around or is it only the gauge itself? |
|
New member Username: Boomingdub1331Post Number: 7 Registered: Mar-05 | he made it sound like it was the gauge..... so i am guessing fuse,connection or if its digital the compuer might be malfunctioning. |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1055 Registered: Dec-04 | its just the gauge...doesnt affect the real rpm's, and its the one that spins, not digi, but it must be electrical because like im pretty sure, not positive, but its hitting with the bass |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1061 Registered: Dec-04 | well joe, ive learned somen today, i decided to put my eclipse 10 al in my friends car with his 1000/1 and put all 1000/1 watts to it, and just WOW, this was honestly the first time my ears started popping and i couldnt hear, i am serious, his w7 doesnt even do that,,,his hurts my head, but this killed our ears..it was so insane..im thinking..maybe i can just get a 2000 watt rms amp, i double shot, sell my eclipse Ti and run 2 eclipse al 88100, cause i have been underestimating this sub, we ran it for like 2 housr and it just blew my mind, ill prolly stick with the Ti, but i dont wanna sell the al now, its to amazing, amybe i should just run 2 al's and i Ti, GOD it was soo intense |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1748 Registered: Aug-04 | Nahh, just keep the Ti and get the ss box and a good amp. I'm glad it kicked @ss though, I haven't heard from many people personally how good they sound. I know what you meen about the Al's, my friend had one and we'd just sit and listen to it for ever, it sounded so nice. But honestly, your one Ti will probably still out-do 2 AL's. |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1064 Registered: Dec-04 | lol true, but maybe a regular ss box for the Ti and then a doublt shot with 2 al's lol, but i put a vid of my eclipse on realmofexcursion today, i dont know if its there yet lol |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1749 Registered: Aug-04 | I really wouldn't suggest mixing The Ti's and the Al's. It's better to have all the same size and same model subs. |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1067 Registered: Dec-04 | lol i guess...but im soo impressed with them...or maybe the Ti for comps and the ss's for daily |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1750 Registered: Aug-04 | Man, just get the d@mn SS box and an amp. You can always turn it down if your brain hurts. I will not let you sell that sub. I'll hunt you down. |

Silver Member Username: Kojak28Augusta, GA USA Post Number: 102 Registered: Feb-05 | Hey Sub, it might be the sending unit for the tach. I actually sell BIG TRUCK parts and had to go to a couple of classes on all that stuff(wiring, electrical, etc.) The sending unit measures impedance (it has an internal magnet, usually) off the crankshaft. |

Silver Member Username: FishyTamaracFt.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 687 Registered: Sep-04 | If its just dropping a bit when the bass hits thats probably normal. Your amp is simply asking your alternator for more power and in turn your alternator asks the same thing of your engine and it bogs down just a touch. Ok, back to the Eclipse stuff....... -Fishy |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3497 Registered: May-04 | Tachs are only electrical, there are no mechanical tachs. If it's only your tach and not any other instruments, it rules out the voltage regulator for the instrument panel. If your engine were running sporadic RPMS you'd know it and I'd definately guess you'd mention it. I'd check the ground of the tach and see that, also check the connection to the ignition coil (if that specific tach connects to the ignition coil) and see if it is loose, and make sure no wires are there to interfere with it. |
