I expect the tweeters just respond to the interference better than the other speakers, thats why its so noticable from them. Ahh yes, Id heard something about you having a spot of bother. Cant have been that long after youd had the wing repaired after that poor girl reversed into it! Did...

my tweeters went in ok, you just have to use the appropriate fixing. dont mount them on the dash, that just looks tacky! do it properly!

Glenn, yeah the cables for the door speakers join at an ISO extension block behind the radio. Theyre soldered on - complete with heatshrink. I guess one could have a dry joint. Tweeters, as you probably know, are on their own new cable with no joins.

erm... no, not really. if you unplug both sets of leads from the amp, youll be able to tell if its picking up the noise after the hu. Does it still get louder as the revs build up? It could all be related so new rca leads might fix it. (I thought the noise always came from the tweeters...

simply swapping over the left / right rca channels for the front speakers at the amp would soon tell you if its a problem with the HU. It would make the other side cut out. If its still the same speaker, put the RCAs back in the correct positions, then try swapping the wires to the speakers on...

Well Ive had no problems with mine, running the JL audio 450w amp. If the crossovers are in the dash, all you need is about 1m of cable off each and connect that to the ISO block the then connects to the original wiring loom. Sounds easy peasy to me! (I put my crossovers in the boot!)

Being the sad perfectionist I am, Id still like to fix this for your because the job isnt complete without it. Trouble is, Alex stole ( ;-) ) the RCA leads Id got for you to replace the crappy ones you had. Im pretty sure hes not using them so Ill get them back off him one day.

get an iso -> iso cable from halfords and chop the front speaker wires in half. Then you can solder / crimp bullets onto them and plug your crossover wires in that way. No cutting of the loom and its easy to remove :)

Ahh man, this is one of those toys I just love to buy! The unit looks kinda huge though and if Ive got to position it so that it looks through the little clear area of the front screen, I can tell its going to get right in my way. Its probably fine for everyone except those with weirdo...

Sorry no I dont at the moment and my parents have stolen my camera for their holiday. Ill try getting some on my phone! The unit is cool. Wouldnt really expect anything else from Alpine though!

ok, Im out of bed now. *yawn* http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=86504http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=86504

I paid over £80 in import tax + handling charges bringing my black 9815 into the UK. Id prefer to pay the extra and get rds + steering controls.

ok, well Ive already got the fronts on order from potn.com so its just the rears were talking about here. By the sounds of it, you guys think I should just get Renault ones. (kind to brake pads and not noisy) I realise the fronts will be noisy, and thats another reason I kinda wanted normal...

no coz youll laugh and then ill feel bad and want to kill myself for buying them :-p ok..so I got the ebc turbo grooved ones. tell me now if I should not get the same rears because theyre in my basket over at http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.comwww.ebcbrakesdirect.com !

lol, I like the sound of having matching discs all round too. Its just a shame so few places sell the rears to match what Ive ordered. I like to shop around and get the best price!

Im changing my disc / pads all round and having just ordered uprated fronts, I cant help but wonder if its worth doing the same to the back or just buying standard Renault ones. Theres not a huge price different and to be honest, I dont care about it anyway! Grooved + drilled (or spotted - to...

Surely you just connect it to either positive or negative?! (Depending on how the handbrake switch works)

Nah, it was easy actually. It tucks in quite nicely behind the climate control box. As for the screen....well its a proper pixel based graphics screen. Its not just a bunch of straight lines going to make up letters and stuff. Ill get some pics of it doing funky stuff tomorrow.

Its the metal box you see in that blue bubble wrap bag.

Mine turned up on Monday. Just thought Id share a few photos. The unit has changed somewhat from last years models. Theyve added the external DC/DC converter back again and you no longer need a direct feed from the battery. Its amped with a 15amp fuse. Im not sure if that differs from the 9833...

Rather than chopping the existing plugs off, buy some adapters. That way you can put the old speakers back in when youre finished. Theyre only a few quid.

The top bit you hold onto is a lump of white plastic with a rubber (leather) cover over it. There is then a silver plug pushed into that with the gear number on it. Know what I mean now?! A small screwdriver will remove the plug. Peel the rubber (leather) up and youll see the white plastic...

lift up the rubber cover and get some mole grips on the plastic at the bottom with the slits in it. It only takes a slight twist to get it started and then you can just pull it off.

My mate has a Fiesta Zetec S (Yeah, I know I shouldnt swear on these forums ;-) ) but like on most of them, the steering wheel has kinda melted. We got him a new one from the scrappy the other day and just need to use his existing airbag module. Having removed the one at the scrappy, I know...

4v. It suffers from less system noise giving a cleaner sound.

Anyone happen to know how much these cost? Theyre the kinda thing I expect to cost a fortune - but shouldnt!

http://www.caraudiodirect.comwww.caraudiodirect.com http://www.cel-direct.comwww.cel-direct.com http://www.caraudiosecurity.comwww.caraudiosecurity.com The 9835 is due out within the next 1 - 2 months. Ive had mine on order for about 3 weeks now.

No, Pete is correct - for Alpine HUs anyway. The US model doesnt have the interface connection at all. But then if it doesnt have it, you cant really say it doesnt work ! Clearly its not supposed to!

Alpine US HUs have an option to set for Area 1 - US or Area 2 - Everywhere else for their radio tuning. The only problem Ive found with mine is that it doesnt support RDS. I guess they dont have it over there. Its all that XM satellite radio rubbish.

As pete said, put it where the bonnet release cable goes - thats how ive done mine - running 4 guage btw.
