[TheEvilGiraffe]

That was hard work....

Please get a suitable adult to help next time.

Thanks.

Whats playing out of the speakers Dave?

 

[DaveDreads]

All sorts, i've got every piece of music i've ever owned on my ipod, punk, metal, techno, hiphop, 60's, so it decides the playlist.

But this is what I was annoying the neighbours with.

 

[Daniel]

Are you not a bit treble happy now with 4 tweeters in the front?

 

[DaveDreads]

I can alter the levels through the HU, but with everything on maximum it sounded 100 times better than the sh*t blown standards, I can turn the treble down if needs be but it sounded fine, bass and clarity is so much better.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Unsurprised as your last set were wired in with hopes and dreams.

 

[DaveDreads]

These ones are just twisted and taped together too, but unlike the others they're no blown to buggery.

 

[DaveDreads]

So i'm happy with my new speakers but I could do with a bit more bass, so I was thinking a couple of mids in the back might improve things a bit, yet again I just want to be able to splice the existing wires onto the new speakers rather than f*cking about with amps and sh*t, I know they're not proper subs that take up most of the boot, or an under seat sub that booms up your arse, but I thought maybe these might do the trick?

My new speakers are 220W, I take it the fact that the above is 200W won't be a problem?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Are you still rocking the OEM head unit ?

 

[DaveDreads]

No i've got a good quality Kenwood.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

220W is watt (sic) the speakers can handle...

Your HU won't be putting out much more than 50ish so I really wouldn't worry.

 

[DaveDreads]

It's this one, yep 50W

So will those mids give me decent(ish) bass?

I've got an under seat sub if you want it? Piece of piss to wire up.

Takes up no boot space, improves sound and no target for thieves!

 

[DaveDreads]

That would be great but it's me you're talking to, I have absolutely no clue how to wire anything up other than twisting wires together and taping them.

Also those mids will be hidden by the rear speaker covers same as the front ones.

 

[Daniel]

13mm deep socket, a flat blade screwdriver, some wire crimps and connectors and a free morning is all you'll need.

 

[DaveDreads]

The only thing I have out of that lot is the screwdriver, looks like i'll be visiting HMS Guy Martin for help, if you don't mind posting it to me then i'll stick it in mate, much appreciated.

Let me see if I can find a box/bubble wrap from work.

 

[DaveDreads]

Nice one mate, i'll owe you some beers.

So out of the two speakers I posted, which would you stick in the back? I'm thinking the yellow ones but the description says even though you can just stick them in and they'll be fine, they work better with an amp, whereas the white ones don't mention an amp and they're a little cheaper.

I kind of know Guy martin will try and convince me to stick an amp in there at some point, so maybe the yellow ones would be better as I can upgrade the system with an amp in the future.

 

[Daniel]

What size go in the back? I've got some brand new speakers you can have too if they'll fit. I think they're 6 inch.

Me personally, I wouldn't amp anything.

Unless you're into driving around blaring your music with your windows down, a decent headunit, 4 speakers and a small sub will be more than enough.

 

[DaveDreads]

I did a search and other members said they're 13cm (5.25") like the fronts, I don't mind spending a few quid on new ones if it means I can finally hear decent tunes over my exhaust.

So my new front components, two mids in the back and and underseat sub should make for some bangin' tunes without an amp?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

'searches Guy Martin ' dreads tagging me in everything...
bring the f**king kennel down here and i'll sort it. those wires are getting done properly aswell before you kill another set of speakers.

 

[DaveDreads]

I'm going to owe you some serious beer not to mention that Dr Pepper crack you're addicted to, so far the list of stuff you have to do is new tyres, wishbones, exhaust mounts, speaker wiring, underseat sub install, and see what you can do about my leaking gearbox.

I'm starting to feel bad now.

 

[Typhoon]

Ooooh look at mr fancy pants here with his new speakers. Next he'll be getting a cordless house phone.

@DaveDreads can you spec me a bass build? I'm looking for at least 10000W RMS at 2 ohms. Must have HPF, LPF, DNB and RNB. Was looking at the Vibe Blackdeath stuff but I think I need an expert opinion before I go spending lots of money.

unless its 50'000W+ theres no point mate, won't hear the bass :/

 

[BoatNonce]

Thanks for your input but I'd like to wait to hear what Dave has to say. I trust his judgement.

Reading this post I would confirm that to be true, the god of audio

Sounds like you need a boot full of Fusion.

[DaveDreads]
