mate im truely gutted for ya, havent even seen your motor yet and we were gonna meet up for a big meet somewhere
good luck with it is all i can say, hope its repairable
i agree, its not your problem mate, im not sure how it works on telling from an import to a UK model, but wouldnt it not say on the V5 logbook its an import, considering hes had 12 months to notice??
Maybe a bit too late for trading standards
yea get a bigger wattage one, itll only pull 300w or whatever when it needs to, and not all the time, its just what the maximum wattage it can throw out is...
i spose, but would only be benificial if your running rear speakers that use the same air space as the other speakers.
I dont have to worry coz i dont run any rear speakers, and have no intention of running rears as i sit in the front, sod what people hear in the back lol
shark is pretty much a budget name aswell, bit like SPLx so id say get yourself a more powerful amp.. your prolly running the amp to the max and its clipping, making it sound awful
what amp u got running these then, coz u might be using an amp that just isnt capable of driving both of them, and hows it wired up, i.e in parrellel or on 2 channels if its a multi-channel amp.
is the new box seperated for each sub, i.e a middle wall to make 2 enclosures.
if not then ones wired in the wrong polarity, whichll mean when 1 moves out, the other moves in, which wouldnt change the pressure inside the box, causing hardly, if any bass at all to be produced.
Quite easy to...
yea mine has quite a high limiter, but because of the charactoristics (sp) of the energy engine thats in the 1.4 RT, theres just no torque at them high revs
Ask jas, but here it is, not sure if u need permission lol

I think u owe us all a pint jas, not as if its gonna hurt your wallet, u got 300 quid from winning that award!!:p
yea, well gives me something to get from work, being an electronics engineer, working for an electronics company does have its good points, free electronic components :D
got any pics showing how u did it, would be handy for a how-to guide, id definately want to change my RT1.4 dials as i hate the orangy colour, but id try and get a red LED to try and light up the needle
would ya sell your old HU when u get your new one lol, been looking at the MP71 for a while, and i got no worries of theiving, as i got th RT with the lil headunt cover thingie lol
yup sony dont have a good name when it comes to car audio, they make nice graphical units, but the quality is pants, sos the workmanship of the PCB inside.
I think a blind 5 year old kid could do better soldering.
(ive only got a sony HU coz it came with the car lol)
right, i took my design to a sign makers near me, got a good reputation, the company who i work for use them for all their signage.
I asked for a rough price, and they said itll be quite pricey, i then asked for a ballpark figure, and he said atleast 20 quid a plate!!!
worst thing thou is...
on the catcams site theres a retailer for the UK, i emailed them and asked for a quote on a certain cam, this was their reply
The price for the catcam No: 5501706 is £168.92 + vat
Carriage (uk only) - £7.95 + vat
Delivery - approx 3 days
my mate gave me his clio because he didnt think it would make it to france and back, and replaced it with a civic.
First car a freebie from a friend!! funnily enough nothing has gone wrong with mine, yet hes had his problems.
(mines a K reg 1.4RT and he replaced it for a P reg Civic 1.4)
yea thats 92.5bhp at the fly,looks like 65bhp at the wheels so thats a bit more than 8bhp lol.
seems to work out at like 40% loss
65/100=0.65 x 140 = 91
do u only get this noise when the engine is on, as ive heard about people getting noises when the engines running, due to the alternator.
you can get a supressor that usually cuts the noise down
