  1. its an Asus r9 280x direct CUII 3Gb 1070 Mhz
  2. Thanks. I bought it a few years ago for about 150 so, anything help for the upgrade
  3. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it isn't a selling add so... We'll put it here. I'm thinking about selling my used Asus r9 280x direct CUII and wanted to know what some of you would pay for it. It has never been overclocked and it has a custom paint job if that makes any difference. here are some pictures of it in my system. Thanks for the help.
  4. I've followed every noise suppression and whining fix/guide I could find. All RCA's are run straight down the middle of the car. Both fuses are within the 3 foot from the terminal. Both of my amp wiring kits are using 4 gauge wire. I'm using some Rockville RWK41 wiring kits. Both amps are grounded at the same place as the battery with the paint stripped. I did try moving the amp's ground, but it made the problem worse. I tried moving the head unit's ground to a different place, my head unit is a Pioneer FH-X720BT, but I don't think it was a very good place to put a ground, so that is something I could try again, but from my testing a few months ago I found that when the rca's are disconnected from the amp, the whine is still there which means it's a grounding issue, but if both the amps are grounded at the same place as the battery I don't see a better place to put it. I also tried using some ground loop isolators but they didn't help either. I also tried the old wrap some wire around the RCA's at the back of the head unit to ground them, didn't work either. The power for the speaker's amp is being pulled from the bolt that goes into my fuse box 1 foot away from the battery, My bass amp is drawing directly from the battery. The reason for this is the terminals on my battery are too small to fit the ring on, I had to Dremel it a bunch to even get 1 to fit. When I got the car it did have the original sound system, and no, I didn't hear any whine when it was stock.
  5. My local shop said that the problem starts at the factory when the car is made. He said that somewhere in the wiring a ground was forgotten or just never made so throughout the whole body of the car there is a floating ground. The other thing he suggested was that it might just be the alternator. But the only way to test that is to get a new alternator, and that's an expensive experiment to just try out.
  6. Well, upgrading the amp isn't a necessity at this point, just wondering because the price was right. but since you asked . I'm running 2 RE Audio SCX12D4 v2 SCX 12" with a Rockford Fosgate P1000X1BD Punch behind it. The doors and rear deck have Kicker 40CSS674 and Kicker 40CS6934 with a Rockford Fosgate R400-4D behind those. The only reason I'm sort of in the market for a more powerful amp is because after I installed my system I noticed a significant amount of alternator whine. I consulted my local shop and he said they had the same problem in their show car, A 2005 Bonneville btw, and he couldn't fix it with anything. I also consulted various forums and tried several solutions. None of them worked. So my idea was to get a more powerful amp and leave the gain at 1. There for leaving out the alternator whine while still being as loud as it is now.
  7. I already have a completely redone system with 2 amps new speakers and subs. the works. My boss just said he has a way to get planet audio stuff for cheap and I have never heard of them before. Just wanted some knowledge, and after looking around the internet there are a lot of mixed reviews. Some people swear by them while others like yourself say they aren't worth their weight in shit.
  8. Hey all, I'm not sure where to post this topic but, here goes. I'm looking to upgrade the current amp in my car with a more powerful one. I found a good deal on some planet audio stuff and wanted to know if these things are any good. Do any of you guys have any experience with these guys?
  9. I would definitely choose the razer blade stealth. I'm going to college next year and that little beast would be awesome to take to classes with me.
  10. I've only got a 120 GB boot ssd and I don't have any games on it and its already filling up. I just want dat dank read an write speed, and so should everyone else.
  11. I want the box because it's pretty much a slap in the face to the little box apple has that's a lot more powerful. My school bought a computer lab full of them and I just want show it off.
  12. there is only one problem with that. I dont have another desktop to test it in.
  13. I decided to help out my friend by upgrading his pc woth a new graphics card. but every time we try the card's fan just runs at full blast but no signal comes out of the card. If we switch to the mb output it works. I bought the card used so no drivers cd came with it and the Nvidia drivers says we cant install them because it doesn't detect an Nvidia gpu. Im stumped.
