Yeldarb

The JVC's are good, the DVD playback is just as good as the Alpine IMHO. The only short fall is when playing MP3 DVD's it takes an age to read the disc before playing any music.

you should have asked who the race driver is, the car is easy its the new *****. ;)

Same boat as me Stav. I was so looking forward to getting the IS back.

Nice install, can we see a daytime picture though?

No mine was bought from the UK so had UK specification wiring. I think your model number is very slightly different to mine though, I can't check as my car is 90 miles away from me at the moment!!

not ready today i think they were out till silly oclock with the tuner as i got a text after 10 last might. im going to call later to see what else needs doing. sad but no one wants an unfinished project

Thats the same unit I have, mine came with the UK ISO plug.

LOL too true!! The Tubbys need a polish mat Great looking install.

Free motoring its bound to get your £500 back.

Today has dragged even though we have been really busy...........

Gassing the aircon, and getting rev gauge to read 4 cyl and not 6 cyl, they know a work around I believe, just waiting on a circuit. I should know later this evening when I have a chat with James.

Here's hoping. The new sound install has now been finalised, thanks to a combination of information from a car audio installer and our own Redz UK and DJWozza. Thanks guys, lots of info all well worth knowing, you really do learn something new every day. After hearing what I will be getting in a demo car this morning my mind was made up. It will be a 100% Rainbow system. front 6.5" components, rear 6*9's acting as rear mid range fill (not amplified running from the head unit for the moment) 12" sub bringing up the rear all powered by a 4 channel amp (2 channels bridged feeding the sub). Nice simple install, nothing OTT and certainly not breaking the bank (less than £500 including all fitting extras like cables and dynamat).

Well today is the tuning day, IF everything is done and ready and James is happy that I can have the car then I will pick it up in the AM. There were still 2 jobs left to do though so this may cause a small delay.

This was a 5 min conversation, whilst the wife was tattooing the guy so details are by by means set in stone. I was under the impression Infinity was good equipment? If the rears are really not worth having and the front is spot on then thats a different conversation. The deal is cost price equipment equal to tattooing hours in £'s, so this opens up many avenues to me, although not to many as he only has so much skin to colour

Scrub the above, Infinity at the back (6*9 and amp and Sub) and Alpine SPR17s with a 2 way amp yet to be confirmed probable a Harmon Kordon HAR-CA280E up front all in for £350 all new kit. I love customers who want tattooing in exchange for stuff!! now just need to tattoo him and then install it all, first I need my car :D

In the region of £50 (PM him for accurate pricing), and a 5 year old could install it!! Just plug it in to the OEM stereo wiring harness, I have one and it does work very well.

Thanks Stzv. if I use the following it comes in at £515 MB Quart DSC480 (4 channel amp) £190 link 2 channels supplying all 4 corners and 2 channels bridged for a sub. Vibe Spec6 (Front components) £160 link Vibe QB69 (Rear 6*9) £70 link Although I think these are a bit ugly. Vibe BA12 V3 (12" sub) £95 link OK I don't know how Vibe relates to others, but as a value system how does that sound, for starters? My theory is keeping the same speaker manufacturer will keep a balanced sound? I know wiring and sub enclosure is more that does not concern me at the moment though.

I am looking forward to induction roar TBH!!

interesting things car audio, after reading a few things I am now a little confused? Can I clarify a few points? 1. If I run 1, 2 channel amp, then front and rear can be run off it so long as I don't mind loosing the front/rear fade. This would show a 2 ohm impedance, therefore more power? 2. a 4 channel amp would show 4 ohm impedance with 4 speakers attached to it, but lower power output, but gaining all the fading F/R and L/R functions. How can this be made to run at 2 ohms therefore gaining power? 3.Could I run a 4 channel amp, run the speakers of 2 channels (FR/FL)and the sub of the remaining channels (bridging RL/RR), effectively using it as a 3 channel amp? 4. Amp power ratings: are these given peak or RMS 5. How do you calculate the size of sub enclosure the sub requires?

i live in milton keynes nice things get stolen fast round here. my neighbour has just lost his r1 bike thing. they even carried it over his escort cossy denting the roof badly and broke the spoiler. clifford total closure alarm and immob is on order once my car is back.

Just got back from seeing the beast in the flesh! Looks amazing i must say, the engine looks like it came in the car and the work they have done is amazing. If i had the cash i would be doing the same conversion but i don't. I didn't take any pictures as i think Yeldarb should be the one to show you all the final outcome and tell everyone just how good it is. Jason :P Thanks Jason. The look is exactly what we wanted, a real stealth car.

Looking forward to seeing (and hearing) yours , but not as much as seeing mine!!

Gutted for you mate, I know how your feeling at the moment. Lets have a mini meet next week and I will (with luck) bring mine up also.

Strange isn't it. I remember looking for a replacement 'box for my old 9-5 Aero, before buying the Lex.

Amp or amps, front speakers and rear + sub. May well just do the front speakers to start with, depending on costs of good equipment. I have the head unit, it has a TOS link (optical out) so can this be used to supply amps? surly this will save on the amount of cables running all over the car?
