G'day crew! Just briefly: my boss has purchased a house that he's looking to put some sort of intergrated home system( speakers in each room, centrally controlled, and all that jazz. I don't know the proper term for it, but you know what I mean...).

Rather than throw him to the lions, I know there's a few ACT members on here in the industry that I'd rather steer him towards for quotes/sales. Can you PM me or post up your work whereabouts if you're happy for everyone to know about what you do, and I'll get him on to you!

Thanks in advance, Jayce.

Does he need someone to sell his old place? *Raises hand enthusiastically* :cheers:

One a seriouser note..... If he wants to avoid all of the fuss of installing multiple speakers, then something like the Phillips or Yamaha sound bar would be a great option. I'm just about to buy the Phillips sound bar for my place, it's a single central unit with multiple speakers facing various directions which give surround sound.

when it comes to in house stereo systems, bose will not, cannot be beat.

unfourtunatly, when it comes to in house stereo systems, will not be cheap.

if your boss has a decent income then bose is the only way to go. nothing compares.

failing a bose system, the best way to go about it is to buy a with hdmi is also handy.good reciever/tuner, with plenty of in/outs and a decent amp. somthing

then to add onto that your standard jb hi fi in cieling speakers are some of the best quilty home stereo speakers you can get for the price, are easy to install. then a fair few meters of speakers cable (16awg being the norm for home theater systems) and youll end up with a very nice sounding home theater setup with provisions for speakers throughout the house and outside, limited only by the quility/outputs of the amp.

if your after anymore info, add me on msn. i know a fair bit on the subject and my boss knows even more:)

Well there is a guy in this forum who works for one of the best hifi places in Canberra. I'll let him PM Jayce.

As a oposing opinion, and from my own limited experiance, and then discussing with multiple "experts" incuding the BOSE people. BOSE is not the best. Also from a mate that sold the stuff side by side to the other real names in hifi, he was clear BOSE did not have the sound quality of the other big names. They do great custom installs with funky things but not the basics very well.

But agreed it will not be cheap.

Cheers,

That's the guy below :-)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK.... where do I start....

Hey Jayce, it's Pat here...

I work at Duratone Hi-Fi and have worked at the Bose store. To start with Bose is an extremely functional product but is very expensive... very over priced! There are many more products on the market that are as functional and sound INFINTATELY better! So, yes, not meaning to be-little you opinion too much - PjAu - there are many products that do compare and anyone in the industry of Hi-Fi and sound don't really respect Bose.

So, what your boss is wanting to do is effectively run audio into other rooms, right? It's called "zoning". Whether is be outdoor/indoor or in-wall/off-wall speakers, it's all pretty simple to do. Well... when I say simple, it just requires someone to set it up who knows what they are doing. All of which can be done by people who I can advise you/your boss to talk to.

I will PM you my phone number. Give me a call if you want and I can work some things out for you. Even if I can offer some advise I'd be happy to help (I'm not going to try and sell your boss something he may not need/want or something expensive just so I can make some commission on it).

N.B. I should also say, please... to anyone who reads this post. I'm more then happy to help anyone out with systems and getting a good deal, but please be reasonable! I have had some PMs in the past asking me to buy people things for stupid amounts.

Cheers,

There's a saying on some of the so-called 'hifi' sites I frequent. Friends don't let friends buy Bose.

I don't know alternative suggestions for integrated systems, but if they're buying a stereo to listen to music, I wouldn't touch Bose with a 10 foot barge pole. But ppl who want integrated systems are usually primarily after subtlety in the home and ease of use, so sure: it'll do a reasonable job for a home theatre.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
