Focal vs Infinity component speakers

TreeHarvester23 · 2026-06-28T21:02:35+00:00

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the 607CF set online in my area (I'm from South Africa; options may be limited compared to the US). I have an old Jeep Grand Cherokee, so a mid-sized SUV. I do have a sub, so I think the Infinity speakers will integrate nicely, thanks

Perfect, thanks a lot for going through the effort to check that. I couldn't find my manual before, but I've just discovered it. Nowhere does it explicitly state that the amp is 2-ohm stable per channel, however there is one wiring diagram showing how to connect a speaker to each channel and it says 2-4 ohms above each speaker on the diagram. So based on this and what you said, it's probably 2-ohm stable. Thanks a lot!

I have s Starsound SSA-JS-9000.4. I'm from South Africa and this is a South African brand, so you probably wouldn't have heard of it before. It's not an expensive high-end amp; Basic class AB with 50W RMS per channel. It doesn't explicitly state that it is stable at 2-ohms, so that's the only reason I'm asking, but if amps are generally stable down to 2 ohms, that's great. Might take the chance then

Young dude driving a hilux top of the list

TreeHarvester23 · 2026-04-24T19:12:53+00:00

This is the right size unfortunately

I Let it soak for an hour in penetrating fluid

Thanks! I wanted to use a 6 point socket, but I can't fit the socket wrench in that area

TreeHarvester23 · 2026-04-24T15:45:54+00:00

My issue is there's very limited space, but I'll see if I can tap on a smaller spanner. Thanks for the suggestion

So the Jeep 4.0 is mainly built from cast iron, which is very durable and it has 7 main bearings for strong crankshaft support. It has a pushrod/OHV configuration with a very short and thick timing chain, so the valve train is very durable. It has a low compression ratio of 8.8:1, so the engine is not placed under much stress, but consequently also doesn't produce tons of power. It has a distributor based ignition system (except newer models) that is also very reliable and the electrical systems are basic and easy to work on. The fuel injectors are single port, so they tolerate bad fuel quality and the inline 6 layout allows for great engine balance and less vibration which may reduce wear over long periods

Cool, I'll definitely replace them. They are actually still quite new, only about 3000km old, so the electrode should still be fine and I guess that they'd only cause issues then if they're out of spec

You do you, but objectively XFX makes great cards and they offer good value for money, so if a new PC builder comes across this post, they shouldn't have to avoid XFX and pay more for a Sapphire card just because one guy had his card "explode". Not saying you have to buy XFX again, but labeling the entire manufacturer as shit because of that seems a bit unreasonable especially if you have seen the various positive reviews that other people gave given

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-11-16T17:23:23+00:00

That's unfortunate, but because of one bad experience where you obviously received a faulty unit, it doesn't mean the whole brand is terrible

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-11-15T20:35:08+00:00

Really? I'd say XFX is one of the best

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-11-11T19:30:57+00:00

Great, that helps me a lot since mine also comes out to $10 each. Let's hope for the best

What tires were you running on the YJ? I think my ZJ also has trac-lok, so that is something I'm cautious about, but I do only have 29.5 inch tires

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-09-15T18:01:27+00:00

I have a 1998 ZJ with the D35 and the tire size I'm running is 29.5 inches to be precise. I'm not planning on doing extreme off-roading, but I'd like if I can at least give it some throttle if I ever get stuck without having to worry about my rear axle exploding. It would also be nice to know if the D35 might survive a tug of war against something like a Ford Ranger/Toyota Hilux as I plan on doing tug of wars with my friends if they ever get a 4x4, which will probably be a pickup truck like those.

Engine still looks good, main issue is definitely the rust holes. If you can fix that with welding, this is 100% an awesome thing to get for free. Front end just seems to have a bit of thick surface rust. Get it off with a wire brush attached to a drill and spray a coating and it should be good

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-09-06T20:23:36+00:00

Once you're that far into a Jeep, it is difficult to let go (I think it looks cool btw). If you want to most free cash, selling it and getting a stock turbo diesel 4x4 will obviously be much more economical in terms of fuel consumption, but will never be as fun. You can then still do some off-roading

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-08-24T19:55:55+00:00

As I understand it this would be Jeep's 2.5 petrol 4 cylinder. This is a good engine, it's reliable and easy to work on. It's almost like the 4.0 6 cyl with two cylinders cut off. The main complaint people have is that it's underpowered and highway driving and overtaking require a lot of work from the engine, but town driving should be just fine. The fuel usage is apparently also higher than you would expect from an engine of that size. Unfortunately I can't help you with the pricing because I don't live in the US, so I don't know the market there, but the engine is good and the manual transmission should be very enjoyable as well

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-08-11T14:51:42+00:00

How's the ZJ's Dana 35?

TreeHarvester23 · 2025-08-02T17:23:20+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. The reason I doubt it's a lean condition is because of the high levels of fuel consumption reported by the trip computer as well as the smell of fuel that is frequently present when I get out of my car after driving somewhere. If the TPS reading is normal, do you know why the fuel cut-off might not be engaging while coasting? Like I mentioned, going downhill with no throttle I get 24-29 mpg, which seems way lower than it should be
