when you say "a hell of a lot of setting up" could you be a bit more specific please? is the setting up something i could do myself? the amps i have are alpine MRP-T220 x 2 (i think they are 140 rms bridged) but just no where near the 300 rms of the sub! any help and advice would be most...

thanks for the reply mate i have now found that when i crank it up a bit the amp im using is not big enuff to power it properly and it keeps fading in and out so im going to get a bigger amp! look out e bay here i come! lol

gently smooth the vinyl over the face of the insert first and then using a hair-dryer warm the vinyl up and wrap down the edges and around the underside edge. be careful not to use too much heat or you will find that the casting in the vinyl will loose its 3d effect. also you want to be trying...

hi guys i have been working on putting the system in my 182 and it gone well so far. i have purchased a alpine type R 10" sub in a box and when i went to check the wiring inside the box before fitting it i have noticed it is wired up completely differently than subs i have had before.:S as well...

the powers that be have told Austin he can no longer sell his stuff on here as they are classing him as a trader. as far as i know the only place to get stuff from him now is e bay and that's a shame as he does some fantastic work.

Rhys beal im running a alpine cde-9845r mate i got it cheap off of e bay (£48) and it was a huge improvement over the standard head unit! if i go for a sub in a sealed box how big would the box need to be (i don't really want a boot that is full of box!!) lol

i am not planning on running a subwoofer mate but i do have a pair of infinity kappa 6 x 9 that are in custom boxes in the boot as i didn't want to do the old parcel shelf cutting trick! if it is recommended to get a sub i would go for a decent 10 inch i think. ive got a alpine 250 watt (max)...

Rich. thanks for the info mate i look forward to seeing the pictures of what you have done. Rhys Beal also thanks for the input mate i was wondering about the huge price range on the focals but from what you say it sounds like the lower/mid end models might suit what im looking for without...

hi everyone i am thinking of upgrading the speakers in my 182 and am wondering what speakers you lot would recommend? been looking at some focal components but the choice is staggering (and some of the prices):eek: i think im going to wiggle some 17cm into the front doors ive got a alpine...

my 182 is the best shi* car i have ever had and i love it to bits!!!

i have been told that its a belt tension issue and as it warms up the belt loosens off a tiny bit and then the noise goes away!

my 182 does it as well mate i had new belts,tensioners,water pump,dephaser and clutch and the fuc*er still whines on cold mornings!! lol

i think they are only £28 ish from renault iirc mate

i do carbon ones;) but they aint cheap:eek:

hi marc thanks very much for that mate i will be ordering some of them for definite!! thanks again mate

great replys guys but is it obvious which pins the resistors go into? as i did a px with my old seats and so have no idea where the plugs went or came from that are now loose under the seats! i know im a tw*t but the seats are soooooo nice! lol

ive just managed to buy some trendlines for my 182 and they are fitted in nicely. the help i need is with fitting the resistors to get the airbag and service light to go out. ive done a few searches but i cant find anything that says which resistors to buy or how to fit them so could anyone...
