Ive got a similer set up to entjm the only difference being ive got 2 amps mounted flush with the floor.
Pretty simple really. Put the boot liner onto a sheet of 12mm MDF, cut round it, mark out where you want the amps, cut holes out, mount the amps from the underside, cover with perspex [...
Im sure when a mate fitted my head unit the cable wouldnt be long enough to stretch to a nut or bolt linking to the chassis though ??
Where abouts have you fastened your negative to Dink ??
it would have to be one on the heater grill cos i dont have a cup holder :(:D
Its linked up with this new box thing from Alpine. A cable from i think its the CD autochanger links to this box and then a lead goes out to the ipod.
Cost me £69
All my stored songs are run off the head unit i...
Anyone know of any good ipod holders which dont require having holes drilled into the dash ???
Where would i get one from ??
Can you buy proper holders for the job ??
Ive got a mini ipod
Cheers
To cut a long story short a ice company told me i should power the head unit from the battery not the ignition cos i wont get full power to the head unit if i run it direct off the ignition !!
Now everyone else iv spoken too, 2 of which are in the electrical / motor trade have never heard...
What would be the best 12" sub to get for a maximum of 200 quid ???.....as in good bass and clarity
I was looking at a JL audio one and a cliosport member said they where impressed by it
cheers
Got a Alpine head unit which i think is the poodles plums but now im needing a set of speakers front and rear.
Was thinking about sticking to the same brand so are Alpine speakers any good or should i just look else where ???
Cheers
The Cup engine was damaged on impact though. theres just about a inch size hole in the sump where it must have hit a rock.
I got the chrome door handles off it for a tenner so im gonna stick them on my mk1 when i get time :cool:
Got the chance of 2 172 engines for very cheap money.
The first one is from a mk2 with 15000 miles on the clock and the second one is a Cup with only 13 hundred miles but has a ripped open sump .....there both crashed damaged cars
Which one should i choose ??? Cup with low miles but with...
Me got that Alpine head unit yesterday the 9812 one :D
Was told that someone it might even be Alpine are bringing out a cable thing which will make the steering wheel control buttons and the old top display thing work with the head unit !!
Nah, auto changer wont work with it
BTW my mate...
I took the spare wheel out of my mk1 172 a while back and due to putting in heavy shopping its collapsed !!!
now the Cup hasnt got a spare wheel in either so is the boot floor carpet stronger than the ones in the standard 172s does anybody know ???
Cheers
The last bug-eyed 172s where in the iceberg silver colour.
The earlier ones came in, i think it was called, platinum silver which is more of a lighter shade of silver
Which would be the best head unit to buy between these two ??
Alpine CDA 9812 RB [ the one in the Mazda RX-8 Max Power August edition ]
or
Pioneer DEH P7600 MP [ the one with the dolphins on the front ]
Which one should I go for ??
Cheers
I must admit that i like the looks of my little clio best but the thought of having a turbo under the bonnet is a massive insentive !!!
Are they good cars these Megane turbos ?? Will they be easy to tune to 300bhp ??
I never really noticed them before :oops:
Theres a Megane 225 turbo for sale in the orange colour for around 16k with 5k miles on the clock.
I own a mint mk 172 which has clocked up 40k miles and am just wondering whether it would be a good decision to change or just run mine to the ground.
I love my Clio to bits but soon I can see...
so a light weight sub is cheap and isnt as good sounding as a heavy one then ??
Could you reckomend a decent 12" sub ??
Or what do you think about 2 good quality 10" subs would that be a better way to go ??
Dont really know that much about the ICE side of things so could do with a little advice.
What size subs do you think would be best ?? 2 10" or go for 2 12" subs ??
And what is the lightest best quality Sub on the market ??
Was looking at a Kenwood 12" sub today and that was pretty...
