Today began the process of fitting my sound system into my new 182 that I used to run in my old 1.4 Clio. A Sony DSX-A416BT head unit, Pioneer 6x9s and a Cerwin VEGA VMAX 12.2 subwoofer (door speakers are already Nakamachis, previous owner/s must've upgraded them). Running them will be a 4-channel AMP for the speakers and a monoblock for the sub.
Upon removing the factory CD player, the wiring has been chopped and changed by the previous owner/s, and a strange Nokia 'Car Kit' and a plastic box with 'surround sound' written on it were hiding behind. The radio harness had been soldered onto, and it was a very, very bad job, a total mess, with only some gummy electrical tape to insulate it.
After some time, I finally got the wiring harness looking original, kicked out the superfluous boxes and wired up the harness for my new head unit, properly with heat shrink and good solder joints where necessary (usually I'd just twist the wires together but given the state of the original CD player harness connector's wiring, it seemed too far gone to bother with making the current setup easily reversible).
I wanted to get everything done today, but unfortunately the Sun was going down so I called it a day.
Tomorrow:
Battery ground lead needs changing with a better one, and circuit breaker and new power wire need installing and routing through the firewall
RCAs and power wires need to be run to the boot
Subwoofer and amplifiers need to be installed
Everything needs tuning and adjusting
Here an old pic of the sub and the 6x9s in the old 1.4:
Yep - still got my undertray - though not the original one. The creatures at Renault Bury either forgot to put it back on or ate it - but they denied all knowledge when my car was there donkey's years ago.
Bought a replacement off a CS member on here and still have it to this day.
I have to say this Darren, a 182 in Black Gold is absolutely gorgeous, and I would commit mass murder to have a set of Turinis on my 182 in SA! So good.
Here's my 182 btw:
