  1. Has any of you used or got any recommendations for sound deadening the zed doors?

    DIY alternatives.

    I think dynamat seems rather expensive. Didn't know if any of you used anything from say B&Q or Wicks?

     

    Also what part of the door do I need to do? The skin behind door panels? Or bit in between that and outer skin?

    If outer, has any one got images how to get to it?

     

    Cheers

  2. Hi all.

    Has anyone got the dimensions for the replacement Oem sub area?

    Had the weekend installing new system. But the sub in the oem space isn't sealed I know but saw a few of you on here saying it sounds fine. But it's just vibrating the interior. I'd like to make my own box.

     

    If not anyone got one for sale?

  3. So I spent my Sunday afternoon/evening stripping the car and installing amp and front speakers and installed my 10"alphine sub. All good until I turned it on and sound from right was suberb. The left on the other hand is not working. Done a research tonight so tomo night may be elimination night. But anyone else had this. Have I done something? Is this something that happens?

     

    Cheers.

     

    Also sub could defo do with the sub box if anyone has one?

     

  4. This is going round and round. We all know the only way for more power is FI.

    don't go and waste £8k of ur harding working money on an old car that ul never see the money back for.

    Go out an buy either a 370z if u want to stay with the forum or buy alternative makes and enjoy the power already. Or put the huge amount of money into the house u were buying.

     

    I don't mean to be an arse on this but if I had that sort of money to throw into a car I would buy something newer and less mileage, already with the power.

     

    Il shut up now. :lol:

  5. The Alpine SPG 17C2 is a coaxial package, so not sure why you would get those if you intended on fitting an amp.

    To be honest I would forget the sub for now and just focus on the right front speakers and amp.

    Alpine Type R's are nice, but all depends on your budget.

     

    You have to weigh up your time, your budget and your DIY skills.

    Basically if you want it the easy way then you just get some coaxial speakers and replace the BOSE ones, but you wont see much of a difference.

     

    The hard way requires wiring an amp from the battery (easiest bit), then wiring from amp to the two doors and sound output device, then fitting component speakers which will include crossover and tweeter separately and usually you would add sound proofing to prevent as much vibration as possible.

    Thank you for the reply. Well good timing. Tonight I put all the wiring in for an amp. I'm guessing this is the same wiring as a sub? Checked everything was working by connecting the crap fli sub and it works. So now would I just disconnect the sub and as you say just rewire the speaker wires?

  6. Right at present I'm upgrading my sound system from my oem BOSE system.

    Iv had an offer from a mate which has made me think but my lack of knowledge on the topic, I may be mad.

    He offered for free his Fli active trap 1000watt amp/sub. At first I immediately ssaid "no HAHAH they're @*!#!"

    But then thought. For free, can I not just use this. Could this sub fit in the space where the current sub is. Or if I have it has it is, Can the amp be used to wire in new speakers?

    Iv also, as many members here have, gone for the Alpine SPG 17C2.

    If I used new wiring, could this work in any way?

     

    Or as earlier am I just being mad?

     

    HELP ME. LOL.
