The subtle modder Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Would an oil pressure guage be another usefull one or are they pretty pointless on a diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 according to an american mk4 website, the Boost Pressure and Oil Pressure are the ones to have. But i wouldn't have a f...ing clue how to fit an oil pressure gauge.Theirs possibility of putting another volt meter in their when i get my auxiliary battery and split charge system style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csi_bha Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 isnt the becker only 30x4 watts though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeky tdi Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 The mexico pro is a stunning unit, and it also has the added benefit of matching the vw dash perfectly.I suspect the internal amp will not be being used, and the truth is no headunit has a high power output, your looking at about 15w rms usually...Thats why its always best to amp speakers style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Lee.

Tigz™ Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 isnt the becker only 30x4 watts though?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes.but Becker provides the power more efficiantly.You'd be supprised to see how much power is lost through heat loss, down to all the headunit makers fighting for the most powerFantastic headunit.As I said earlier mate.I am very jelious.

nfbr Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Even though the becker shows as 4x30w max it puts out a proven 4x 18w RMShowever my 4x60w max alpine that this will be replacing, is only giving out 4x 15w RMSso figure that one out (i know i can't.) besides... wont be using the onboard amp.

Don't know much about their stuff, except Ferrari use their sat nav head units.Looks like it could be standard too. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Mercedes use becker units in their top end modelsbecker are part of the Harman group.Harman group being "JBL" "Harman Kardon" "Infinity" "Becker" a nice change from the usual Max Power head units, somet a bit more "Grown up" and something a bit German style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
