(S) WooHoo, Finally a Sub and sound package

Hey again, a while ago I was planning on a sound system but didn't want to lose the Blue & Me functions of the car, however I've found the solution.

I've had a complete overhall of my sound system, and purchased an all Vibe setup, and it sounds mint.
What I've bought:
1 x Vibe Black Air Active CBR12" Evo Sub (changed my mind over the 10 when I arrived)
1 x Vibe Slick A2 Amp
2 x Vibe SE-K series front door speakers
2 x Vibe SE-K series tweeters
2 x Vibe Black Air 6's for the rear

But, with all this... kept my original head unit, the sub only plays bass and no vocal thanks to the low pas amp
settings and is wired from the back of the head unit (no preouts, so used an RCA converter) - May update the head unit in the future...

Pictures to follow with all the information of what the pictures are of, naturally.

Hopefully I'll find some time to write a guide, but if not I'm sure I'll be able to help (sort of) lol.

Tar,

thats what i did too matey, seemed the easiest thing to do, nothing too showy for opportunist theives and all fits in flush and matches the rest of the dash.

are the rear speakers pigs to get to? and are they the same size as the fronts?

Nope bigger than the fronts and don't plan on driving your car for an entire day if you want to change the rears, I swear it would be easier to get into Area 51 than it is to get the bloody speakers, it was a laugh mind, just make sure you remember which bolts go where.

Sounds amazing though.

Where did you get the RCA converter from mate? I'm dying to get a better sound system in my car

maplins matey

I got mine at Western Car Radio, (free, as were all the wiring kits actually lol, suppose they have to chuc something in when you spend so much - Awell worth it every time I turn the car on, I get a little Thud from the sub

P.s Maplins is very good for things like tis, they've got some nice subs aswell.

nice one minnnt, do you know any kind of product code theres 4 of them :S cheers

i have one that you can have mate if you like... providing you pay postage of course!

although having said that i never used one!

This is slightly off topic but i would really like to upgrade my speakers in the near future as i have the optional sub and when i get to a certain volume it just crackles and sounds awful. Im assuming good speakers would help this even if i kept the original headunit, sub, etc.

will consider it mate any chance of a pic so I can see what i'm looking for?

Cheers

refering to above, think this would do?

what you think?

yes, but it also depends on how the signal etc is sent to them. the best way would be to upgrade the stereo with the standard speakers, rather than the other way around iirc... but then you might aswell upgrade the standard speakers too if doing that.

im not quite sure how the Fiat sub package works, but on mine i can control the bass on the back of the sub and then control it even more on the H/U which i have set usually at about -3 or -2 then this enables the speakers just to handle the treble rather than treble and bass and then the sub can deal with the bass. the speakers are pretty good tbh as standard, but obviously replacing them with better units can imo only be a good thing Richard.

or even better?

should do mate, but as said, i never used one, i picked the signal up off of the back speakers.

i would imagine that is pretty damn perfect buddy.
