what the funk?????

just connect the speakers and test the cables on each connector you will hear more bass when they are wired up correct)

why did you go from a hgt to a hlx? im planning on going from my hlx to a 155.
ps iv changed the speakers in the doors and now i want to wire them to an amp but not sure which colour wires lead to the speakers on the inside of the car?

Re: what the funk?????

Mini Rob,

I've got my fronts running from an amp. The front speaker amp is in the boot so I ran new fosgate cable from the back to the front. So in effect the old fiat cable is now redundant.............

That got rid of the which colour is pos and which is negative situation. If you're gonna put a good set of speakers up front and amp them it makes alot of sence to upgrade the speaker cable as the old stuff will act like a bottle neck vus you wont get the best out of the speakers.

Hope the makes sence

Front Speakers

Rob,

Out of interest what you running up front and of what amp ?

I've finally finished installing my MB Quart RSD213's but i'm still only running of the HU.

Saving for a big class D amp to run my sub so that i can then use amp i'm currently using for the sub to front the fronts.

Re: Front Speakers

Are we gonna see you at Donny in the Park EvoP?

I've got a set of Infinite 5" components powered by a 180watt pioneer amp. This is just temp stuff that I picked up very cheap. They sound ok........... They'll be replaced shortly by a Fosgate 750X (4 way) and a set of FNQ3514 Rockford Fosgate Fanatic components.

In the back I've got two Rockford Fosgate RFP3212 12" 800w subs in seperate box's these are powered by Rockford 1000 BD mono block. And a set of Rockford Fanatics that have gone in to the existing rear mounts. I've also got a Fosgate digital Power Cap in ther to look after the battery. (and yes I do like Rockford!)

There is a heck of a lot more to come though. PS2, screens, Two 8" Subs (from last car) but how I'm gonna get those in I'm not sure???? possibley in the car some where?......... Who know where it will all end.

I'll send you some pics of the boot install so far if you want.

Hows your install going it was shaping up well nice the last time we spoke to you.

Hi Rob,

Money is tight at the moment, specially with a little one running around.

Really need to tidy things up a bit, not happy with the door cards so going to speak to audioscape see if they can make some pods up.

Doubt i'll be at Donny in the Park, aiming for shows start of next year hopefully.

Can just needs a general tidy up really, wheels need a bit of spit and polish because the girlfriend decided to run into a curb !!

If your wanting to sell the Pioneer Amp, let me know. How much was the Rockford 1000bd ?

Re: Attn Rob

Does anyone know where I could get a cheap 12" or 15" (preferably) Fusion sub? I wanna buy one them and sell my two Sony Xplod 10"s.

 

[evo~paul]

Fusion Subs

Chris,

I used to have 2x Sony Xplod 10's thought they sounded ok until i got a single Fusion 10 !!! This sub is goes so much lower

Try www.decibels.co.uk and speak to Russell. They are in Billericay, Essex but they should be able to sort you out a deal

 

[minirob]

Re: Fusion Subs

THE 1000BD IS £700!

 

[Chris]

Re: Fusion Subs

Paul I live 5 mins away from Decibels They're v expensive tho!

 

[evo~paul]

Fusion

Do ya, whereabouts ?

I used to live in Basildon, there around the same as Car Audio Direct, plus ask Russ for a deal

 

[Chris]

Re: Fusion

I'm in Hutton, Brentwood. Do you think Russ would take my Sony's as a part ex? How much was your 10?

 

[evo~paul]

Fusion

Doubt it mate.

I gave mine to me brother in the end.

With a box tuned to 40hz it was 199.

Re: Attn Rob

Money wise the 1000bd is very expensive. But the amp as with any Rockford kit is 100% quality. Its one of, if not the best car audio companys on the market. Fosgate are the best for me anyway.

I've got a mate who works at unicar who gets me every thing cheaper. The 1000bd retails at about £750 in uni car I paid half that. The is another company I get stuff from too. But is usualy tell him what I want and he'll get it a couple of days later.

Hmmmm interesting contacts Rob, could these contacts do a deal for anyone else for a drink obviously !

I agree the Rockford gear is top notch, if only I had the readies to buy it all.

Just to let you know caraudiodirectdirect.com has just dropped there prices, the 1000BD is now £500, but they do have the very very nice Type RF amps, check the prices though !!!
