Well some good progress Dink, i followed the settings you said to switch to and it worked although whilst holding the amp i accidently pushed the little button in... so i was still hearing a slight buzz until i checked again and the button was in, pressed it out and the noise went, i had the...
Ok cheers, im going to try those settings with the head unit and RCA cables tomorrow...if im still getting crackling even with a replacement set of RCAs, its the head unit?
the amp played the ipods music, just not with any bass, ill see what tomorrows test comes up with.
Ill try with the...
Quite like it mate, only looked at the pics so i might have missed it, but seating the exhaust so its more recessed, and although only you will know... getting any door dings removed is a good investment, also a plain front splitter improved my 1.2.
I had this one on mine...
Nope it was plugged straight into the amp!
Ive never had anything to do with amps before, so im probably doing something wrong... but 0 gain nothing, half gain, quiet music... but yeah i could hear it like it was playing on my pc speakers... no bass just tinny music...
Edit if i try again...
Ok, so i found the right cable in the loft, and plugged my ipod in, i dont know what settings i should have had it on, but i turned everthing down, then put the gain up slightly,
In the picture i had it on LP... think thats right? But on the other switch i had it on Bridged and should be on...
Whilst having trouble before with the thumping, i removed the RCA leads from the back of the head unit, it stopped the thumping, i tried another set of leads, still thumping, I tried the earth track fix all round the pre outs, still thumping.
Today i recieved my longer earth, however i found...
Just done mine, working perfect now, it all came apart on me! circuit board, plastic cover then gel stuff on top,
I cleaned the circuit sensors with Isopropyl alcohol, cleaned the cover inside and out, the gel both sides and the window...
I put clear gel on the front and back of the jelly and...

Im doing the same when i get home,
Need to take the sensor off, clean both the inside windscreen spot where the sensor is and the face of the gel pack, then cover the gel pack...
Well for the first earth i used the ISO bolt, i ground off the coating to bare metal on the nut and tbh it may have been a decent earth... im not sure yet ive heard other people using that point, but now the earth is at the seatbelt bolt, bare metal with copper grease to prevent rust, all...
Ok mate cheers, the RCA's just look like cheap gold plated blue ones, the amp has a slight dent in the corner so i think it could be that... then again the subwoofers in mint condition but is also second hand, would the sub thump if it had a problem?
Ill try the RCA test soon.
Hoping my earth...
Ive got a 8" Vibe space passive sub woofer,
And i bought a vibe blackbox:3 Amplifier second hand off eBay, the condition of the amp is questionable it looks rough...
Ive laid down 10awg power cable that's got an in line 30a fuse that was put it once all the wires where in place, my original...
Done my wiring... easy enough minus the f**king awquard poision you have to be in to cut the grommet, got a small lock knife through the bottom, fed some white cable through as a guide... was looking down at the brake servo or whatever its called for a while till i looked at the guide again and...
If you intend to improve it get standard front and back bumpers and lose the side skirts... Im sure everyone's thinking the body kit looks s**t... and the wheels...
Would be a nice restore to standard and sell on project or keep for a cheap run around, do you like the way it looks currently?
Im going to use the grommet hopefully, where would you drill for the OP though? i thought where the feck would i start? remove the carpet at the back of the engine, where abouts can you drill?
Literally just looking and searching for the same thing, although mines 10awg...
The grommet is very tight but theres only 2 small cables going through... apprently its blocked with plastic and can be cut with a stanley knife however ive never seen the thickness of 0awg and you will probably...
Yeah, any mechanics have an opinions as to why it's been re drilled? I know it's not the end of the world, I should just shut up and swap the old one back or buy a power flex kit which I may do.
Nope the new mounts still on the car... its from Renault so a genuine part, initially i was having heavy vibration, its settled down some
Its pulled the exhaust out the back about 5-10mm poss more, so its taught the engine back to the rear
The car crawling when turning etc i get quite bad...

So to anyone that wants to respond... Which system would you go for for the 182, not looking for noise on purpose but as long as its not stupid and is a nice burble im in...
