    Adjusting Volvo HU-803 equalizer

    Hey guys, couldn't update before. I did tune the eq I find it to be better now. Gimling, you were right about lowering the highs and increasing the mids. It's not perfect though, but I can't further tune it because I'm using an FM transmitter to reproduce my music, the quality is not that good...

    Adjusting Volvo HU-803 equalizer

    It is a nice setup indeed, but that is the premium audio. I just posted it as a reference. Here is a corrected version of mine, I have the high performance, which is a step below premium but quite good actually. It just needs balancing the eq but I'm not experienced xD It doesn't seem to need...

    Adjusting Volvo HU-803 equalizer

    Wow that link is really useful. I remember seeing something like that before, if not the same, but never ocurred to me to use it. I mean, I forgot its existence completely I appreciate a lot. My guess is I should tune the "secret" eq first, while leaving the knobs on the radio all in the...

    Vintage cabinets repair help

    Would it be a bad idea to sand it? Some of the clear coat looks cracked. I'll post on AK to see what else I can learn, I already did my own research and seems like it's a good console indeed, and I got it for $50 including those cabinets, original paperwork and some records haha

    Vintage cabinets repair help

    Here is one of the 4 greencones. Two are about 4.5 inches and two are about 6.5 Since the small ones are mounted on the sides, I guess it would be ideal to place the console on a corner to send the sound of the side mounted drivers frontwards

    Vintage cabinets repair help

    Hello guys, I'm still new to this forum. I joined looking for help and info to upgrade my car's factory setup but it was crashed outside my home as some may remember. The car is fine now but I have kind of a financial crisis. I decided to buy and restore an old console with new receiver and...

    Coaxials indeed. They offered me a pair of used Poliglass Focal components for around 160 USD as well. They come with tweeters and crossovers. I'll check them out. Thanks!

    Replacing car system

    Thanks a lot for your advice man, I might reconsider buying them. They were announced on mercadolibre (Mexican eBay) but he took them off. Now it seems he reposted them. The only thing that makes me not want to buy them is the warranty issue. But I think I don't care about it anymore, I'll take...

    Replacing car system

    Yes mate at least I know who did it. It was a lady who, in her own words, was distracted looking for something under the seat and managed to crash the only car on the street (mine) while doing it. At least her insurance is supposed to take care of it but I haven't heard news from them in 2...
