alpine speakers fitted
got speakers all fitted now
10cm alpines fitted very easy in dash giving my much better mid and tweet, but rears were more potchy, i got 13cms but were about 2cms 2 small, but ive tapped around them to seal them, my rears were mouldy and out of shape, but sound is much better now,
so ice is complete,
alpine ipod ready unit with 10cms front 13cms rear, kenwood under seat sub,
scan gauge 2 and digital clock with temp and volt gauge in 2nd din unit,
boost gauge fitted and photo
boost gauge fitted and ipod fitted and hidden out of the way,
new plate come today fitting tomoz and ill pic and post,
tried the sub today, it bloddy broke, trying to fix it to get it in soon,
K&n
It's a k&n off a pug 306 gti6. Come with pipe but it's to big off the turbo and I don't have a vacuum t for the boost solinoid so opted to keep the stock pipe. Still sound loud. Sucks very loud then flutter dump. I'll vid soon
Well I used to work for a
Well I used to work for a short time in car audio, And I have seen people spend a lot of money on ICE, Sometimes the end results are still pretty poor.
Before you go spending lots of money and time upgrading everything..
I fitted a small 10" active vibe sub box in the boot of mine, so then you are able to switch off the loudness setting, lower the bass down, and raise the treble up on the head unit controlling dash/door speakers.
Then you tweek the volume/bass/crossover output of the bass box amp to suit.
The result is volume that can now be turned up loud with no speaker distortion, with clear treble and vocals.
Solid bass and midrange from the bass box.
I have wired a hidden switch to be able to turn the box on and off independant of the head unit, Sometimes handy.
So much easier than messing about with the dash & door speakers. It's a bugger to get proper sound depth with dashboard fitted speakers.
got alpine speakers
i bought speakers today halfrauds got a deal on £55 for 2x 10cms and 2 x 13cms, just gotta fit them now, i got a kenwood sub , made hell of a difference, but need a clear sound from the fronts, may awell do back as they so cheap,
thanks for your advice
ive took you up on it and bought a 8 inch active under seat sub, i tweeked my alpine unit so that bass is zero and treble is 8 and it goes very loud, tinnny,with zero distortion, so cant wait for my sub to come now, i done audio for a while as seen in the lexus boot build R.D audio, my mate was the money and design , i was the labourer lol,
OK, have a play with the bass
OK, let me know how you gt one, I have not tried a under seat sub before. Have a play with the bass setting of course once you got it working.
Main thing is to keep any loudness or bass booster feature on the head unit turned off, to give the standard speakers a easy life.
got my treble sorted
i got loud and clear treble, but i still got a slight crackle from my front passenger speaker, but i can deal with it, think i fixed the sub the moving fake speaker come away from the center and was clapping, so ive layered black mastic on it and got it all back, just got try it and try fit it somewhere, might have to unbolt my seat to get it under , , , half inch , , ,seems to be a bar that bends down but underneath seems to have room,
think it this one ...

Nice. Didn't know you had a Subaru as well
Worth also looking on www.scoobynet.co.uk, I frequent that forum on occassion as I also own a STi8 Impreza.
Make sure that the filter isn't a stainless one. Just swapped mine for an Apexi one I had imported from Japan, which is like the Blitz but safer for the engine

dash ???
it sounds like my dash speaker may be broke as the sound comes from up there, aint looked into it yet, but my last car i upgraded the speakers only and had a realy good outcome, treble hi bass off, i dont require a sub, just a clear sound half way up, my 1st 3 cars had systems, loud and cheap lol
but this one im gonna keep original looking as i like the style, but i do like a good sound system, and a nice sounding engine
Blimey, ha. I bet added up
Blimey, ha. I bet added up that's a fair bit of extra fuel cost with the extra weight over the years!
