My Car came with a Nakamishi CR/Tuner (Single DIN) and Nakamishi (Single DIN) Mini Disc player.

From what I understand Nakamishi is a pretty good brand of stereo - Well in Hi Fi anyway - I didn't know they made Car Audio stuff.

So my question is - How good do these band expanders work ?? Is it worth while doing to this unit ?? As I have a fairly new Sony Head Unit that I was going to put in (cause I didn't expect to get a good stereo with the car).

If I take the Nakamishi out, not sure if the Mini Disc will still work with the new Sony.

Also, I have 2 Amps (One for Main Speakers x 4 ) and one for Sub - Don't know if these will work with Nakamish or not as I'm not sure if the Desk has 2 x RCA outs. (I know my Sony does)

Anyhoo - Help is appreciated.

There are more than one brand of band expander out there, and some work better than others - so make sure you don't buy a crap one if you are going to get one...

At a cost of around $30 to $50, it is a small price to pay even if you only use the Nakamichi head unit for a few weeks and then decide to go with the Sony or whatever...

Mooks,

I'm gonna get a Band Expanda for the Naka - I'll see how it goes - If it doesn't work with my existing kit (Kicker Amps, etc) Then I'll be looking for a home for it.

I'll post how I go with it all.

Thanks all !

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
