Guest Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Firstly a quick pic of my car as it is today......Its completely standard at the moment apart from the stereo which i'll get to in a minute. A few mods planned when I can find the time. Managed to install the front component speakers at work yesterday. Actually turned out to be pretty easy.Here's a pic of a door with the door card off! Note the MG tweeter panels they look super tidy.And here's a pic of a speaker hole!Now I have to apologise cos I forgot to take any more photos of installing the speakers! Kinda got into a zone where everything seemed to be going right for once! I stuck a fair bit of antivibe in the doors and also on the mdf baffle which I screwed and glued to the door. That won't be moving any time soon!The door cards will be coming off again in the next couple of weeks so I can re trim them. I shall get some more photos then.

WilkesyMB6 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Are you a bit of an audio nut or just dont like the crappy standard ones! Welcome to the site btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Looks like a good start, what components did you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Little bit of an audio nut! Not fussed about super loud but it has to sound good otherwise whats the point!! The stock speakers are just awful. Got some JBL CS-6c components up front now and I have to say for the price (£35) they are pretty decent speakers. A little bright sounding but nothing a bit of EQ can't sort out. Obviously having the tweeters closer to my ears now affects this so just a case of getting used to it. Saying all that they will probably be upgraded sooner rather than later! The thing I'm most impressed with is the antivibe. I was a bit sceptical of this stuff but it has made a huge difference by getting rid of lots of vibrations and rattlesWill definitely be adding a small sub at the end of the month either 8" or 10" with a custom box to go where the cd changer used to be. Kind of curved over the wheel arch so I don't lose any boot space. Not sure whether to ditch the rear speakers or not at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the guy who has made his own Mugen Rep grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I was about to mention the same custom box as well! Looks a good base and will be interesting to see how the audio install goes in the long run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Got a FLI Trap active 10 in the boot now! Bit of an eyesore but it cost me a bargain £45 with a free wiring kit! You gotta love fleabay! Might have to paint it or something though....can you wrap over carpet?!?! Do excuse the rest of the s**te but my boot is rather full at the moment! Just swapped my head unit for a Sony mex bt2700 with a guy at work who was selling his car. Huge improvement and now have high pass filters as well. Had a bit of a problem after plugging the RCA cables in, no matter how much I wiggled the wires about I couldn't get the head unit to go all the way in. Got annoyed and impatient, drove to maplin and bought some right angle plug adapters, problem solved!Wasn't sure wether to have rear speakers at all to begin with but I've made my mind up and will put some new ones in! Probably some more cheapo JBL jobbies...Oh and I put a cone air filter on. It makes a nice noise! Thinking about carbon wrap on the front and rear Honda logos whilst taking the other badges off. Maybe wrap the whole front grill....anything cheap really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jarmin Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Got an exhaust trim off a new jaguar at work today. Replaced the whole system for a customer so I kept bits of the old one. Looks much better than the standard pea shooter sticking out the back!! Mmmmmm shiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
