‘10 328i w/ JBL ms8 question

Hiroyue · 04-27-2019, 01:39 PM

Think a optima 400 charger would work I have 2 red tops that could benefit from a dual apable charger. Or if I read correctly the 4.3 can do gel cell so it should be ok to charge optimas?

So got a CTEK 4.3 and a Bosch premium h8 107ah, after doing the coding on ncs to change the charging to 110ah I tried to change the vo to add -B110 when I went to exit out I got a error saying FA registry not available I double checked it seems like it should have worked. So I put in -B090 and it worked coded the vo.
So my question is since the VO didn’t recognize 110ah am I going to have a issue with the cas coded for 110ah? My assumption is only if it’s flashed by someone else correct?
I’m pretty sure I’m just going to code in 90ah agm instead of dealing with this and switch to a h8 Bosch agm

So after some hassle returning a battery and getting the core from my local pep boys got a Bosch 90ah agm battery for about 170$ after taxes. Coded the car changed the vo and registered the battery, I actually forced myself to learn coding because of this and successfully coded in my new FRM3 that I just got to replace my dead one. The system sounds great the jl xd600/6 is pretty much at mid gains with minor adjustments and the xd200/2 for the subs is a little higher than mid gain it just seemed a little weak and I didn’t want to adjust the eq for the whole layout.

So update on the system, I’ve noticed on certain days hotter ones seems to be our strong suit lately in Florida, that the bass seems to drop out and come back in. I’m not sure tbh if it’s the rear deck speakers or the subs cutting out. Happens while I’m driving haven’t been able to replicate it while sitting when I’m able to look at it. Checked all the amp wiring all nice and tight normal green lights nothing seems to be too hot back there.

So after a year and having issues with the jbl it likes to turn on and off by itself I’ve checked wiring fuses. When it works it’s wonderful but when it starts to act up it’s annoying. Used the old one I had and it would drop the bass randomly so I’m starting to look for a different route. Wanting to keep a center speaker setup and maintain the jl 600/6v2 jl 2 channel for the subs. Any suggestions on a dsp to replace this would be helpful pointing at the helix dsp.3 at the moment.
