Do they actually change the back light colour from orange to one of the listed colours then? Without modding the orange plastic behind the dials?
Theres been loads of posts about how to do it but never a strait forward answer!
Dont be suprised if its not loud strait away. It will get louder as you clock a few miles on it. Theres normally a kind of baffle material inside the back box, as carbon etc builds up in it the airflow becomes a little smoother and the sound increases with it.
(No one quote me on that)
I think the official reason was the price, £20,000 for a 2wd 215bhp(?) car was pretty steep as it was. The 4wd Cossie is gonna be expensive if and when it comes. Think back 10 years to the Escort Cossie - £27,995 if I remember - possibly more for the Lux modles. Im sure back in 95 when they...
check out http://www.cel-direct.comwww.cel-direct.com they do things at well below list price.
Delivery aint cheap but they deliver usualy within one working day!
I just bought a Kenwood amp for £137 (inc delivery)
Seen it else where for around £200!!
Excellent, cheers guys - Ill order it later and once I have it fitted Ill let you know.
Got a wicked price for the amp at http://www.cel-direct.comwww.cel-direct.com
Seen it other places for over £200.
Got it from Pulse Car Audio.
TBH I always though my old Kenwood sub sounded better, so did the theiving scum bag who took it obviously.
The Silver ones are well expensive!
My pro plus seems to have had it funny enough.
My sub is an Eclipse 87121.4 - 4ohm
Think its DVC but not too sure, think its 300w RMS 600w Peak.
Wanna buy the right amp seen a Kenwood one that looks up to scratch. (see my post titled is this amp good enough)

Its the 12" 87121.4
Dont understand alot of that mumbo jumbo on there TBH.
Ill have it out tonight and let you know exactly what sub it is.
Problem with Eclipse is they have models like 8701.25 and small brains like mine cant remember all the digits.
I dont get OHMS can some one explain?
Sorry, had enough amps in my time but never really paid any attention to it.
Craig, you know what boat im in here!
I dont notice any rattles on mine and its 12 years old. But then I rearely drive with the radio low let alone off.
What does annoy me is how everything that goes wrong seems to cost a fortune as it always seems to be an engine out job!
Also lack of tunability, next cars gonna have to be...
Looks like Im gonna have to take the damn thing out of the box and find out exactly what it is arent I!!
Funny feeling its got a double voice coil though. Problem is the range my sub comes from isnt on the Eclipse website any more!!
Got my clutch done at Mr Clutch in January £293.52 cheapest place by a long shot.
Mine def needed doing though as it broke appart and came through the inspection plate stopping the engine from starting!
Its an Eclipse 8600 (something like that)
Been thinking for ages the subs on it way out but starting to think the amp I was running wasnt up to it. Im gonna try my sub on a mates amp before I go buying another amp though!
I only got a little 2x75w amp to try at the moment so need some real...
Not sure about the sub to be honest - would think 600w RMS
I think the amp is adjustable though? Couldnt I just run it with the power down if it is too much?
Thats what I did with my current amp, but that seems to have seen an untimely end!
Got an Eclipse 600w 12inch sub in a sealed box, need a new amp is this any good:
Kenwood KAC-7251
800 Watts MAX Power 2 x 150 Watts RMS @ 4 OHM 2 x 230 Watts RMS @ 2 OHM 1 x 460 Watts RMS @ 4 OHM Bridged
Signal/Noise Ratio 100dB Frequency Response 10Hz-45kHz 12dB Crossover...
Not too fussed about the back box its whats between the cat and the back bax that bemuses me.
I personally cant see what difference it would make.
Think I may just buy a de-cat and not bother with the rest!
Unless some one can tell me a reason why the full system would make a difference?
Will a De-cat and back box be as effective as full system including a de-cat?
Ive got a back box and dont know whether to buy just a de-cat, the de-cat and rest of the system or a whole new system (including new backbox).
I currently have a piper back box.
Make sure they give you the bigger bulb, renault sold me one for the lights along the side.
You have one bulb top right and one bottom left - thats the one that does the revs and petrol.
Pain in the ar*e trying to get the speedo disconected to get the binacle out!
Even more trouble trying...
Piper stainless steel back box, oval slash cut tail design?
Nearly a year old and I paid £145 for it?
Thinking about getting a full magnex system so would wanna sell this to make some money back!
I had a simular experience a few years ago, I was in the passenger seat with my mate driving a 1.1 106. Had 2 young ladies in the back and one of their ex-s decided he didnt like us any more so him and 4 mates in a 1.6 onion took chase. Ended up with a blow out from some harsh manuevers!
Ever...
