I have Issues with bt and there technical help desk.. I e they aint no help!!!! those who know me should no that I am not racialist.. in fact far from it.. but at the fear of being label one is the reason they are no help is because i can hardly understand a word they say.. and how somebody 6000 miles away can tell that I need a new modem is beyond me..!!! by the way I am connected to the net at the mo via the said modem that I was told was shot..lol

6 phone calls and problem not resolved.. 4 days later all was well again and back to normal.. after I put all my settings back to how I had them origonaly ..

O.k rant over..!!!

Craig

I have just bought a sat nav unit yesterday from Halfords, Its a mio midi walker with mio map ( navi maps) uk and ireland The software is Navigon (MobileNavigator 4) It has so many options its great, Altough I must admit I am trying to find the poi for speed cameras for it.. But it only cost £299 which I though was good, as its handheld as well or you can use it on your pushbike to see how fast you can go..lol

Craig

O.k It might be the way I am putting it.. All I want to do is take out my blaupunkt and put a dvd head unit in its place as i only have one single din socket and I dont want a dvd head unit in the glove box / under the seat / or in the boot / I would like one in the dash and a screen in the rear for the kids, I want to be able to just connect the iso connector from the car to the headunit that will power the stock front and rear speakers, I would the use the av out to the screen , and the rca leads to the boot to the amps for a pair of 6 x 9's on the rear shelf and sub box in the boot, What I dont want is to have to use 2 headunits to do this.. Not sure if that makes it clearer or not..lol

Craig

Try looking for an adaptor harness RCA - ISO.

Car audio dealers or even Halfrauds (Audioleads)?

←

I still want the rca outputs though,, I just want to be able to have front a rear speakers connected and use the rca's for the 2 amps in the boot

Craig

I am looking at getting rid of my cd player anf getting a dvd head unit.. But most of the ones I have seen Only have rca leads and av leads comming out of the back.. But I would like one that also has a iso connector so that I can still connect all the car speakers and amps,

Any ideas??

Craig

Mine is defintely a 10", as it's sat next to me and was replaced with a 10" kenwood.

←

Lol and the import aristo one is definately 12" as its next to me.. and 4 ohm

just to confirm now I have the sub.. It is 4 ohm not 2

Craig

If you're using the sub from your GS, bear in mind it's 2 Ohms and most cheaper amps won't run 2 Ohms bridged.

←

You are right neither of the amps will run 2ohm bridged.. But I must admit i thought it was all 4 ohm in the gs300 o well If i have to go buy another sub it wont matter..lol

Craig

Criag, you need to power the sub using the Sony as this is more of a mono amp rather than a stereo amp, on the specs I sent across, you'll notice that the bridged RMS is better on the Sony than on the Alpine. Don't use a bigger amp if the RMS is low on a bridged output, I also made this mistake, I'm now using the Sony to power a 200W Sub, I first used the Alpine but never gave as good a low feq as the Sony, the Alpine has got a good range all the way though the feq ranges but the Sony has a better low end range.

Hope this helps

cheers for the heads up paul.. i was not sure which way to go..lol it was going to be a case or try it and see.. what do you think of that parcel 2 go they are great for shippng heavy items at a cheap price.. my work mate is going to call me when they arrive there..

Craig

i'm doing this at the moment, I decided to take the interior out and sound deaden everything so at the moment all I have is the drivers seat. Still, will make running the cables through very easy! I've gone for a 1/0 guage wiring kit. Just went to make soem mdf baffles and made a stupid mistake, back to square one!

Anyway, show us some pics when you're done Craig! what brands have you chosen?

←

Well I cant afford much so no plush install for me at the moment but Paul norkep has sent me 2 amps..

1. ALPINE V12 MRV-T320 2/1 CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER

1. SONY XM-250X

1. 12" SUB

Looking at using the alpine to power the sub and the sony to power a pr of 6x9's when I get them .. But at a later stage may go bigger and better hence why getting the bigger cables anyway.. not bad getting this lot for £30 inc vat and postage

20FT 4GAUGE RED POWER WIRE,

4FT 4GAUGE BLACK GROUND WIRE,

20FT 16GAUGE BLUE REMOTE TURN-ON WIRE,

20FT 12GAUGE SPEAKER CABLE,

20FT RIGHT ANGLE RCA INTERCONNECT AUDIO CABLE,

6FT BLACK SPLIT LOOM CABLE CONDUIT,

AGU TYPE 60A GOLD PLATED FUSE.

WATER RESISTANT INLINE FUSE HOLDER,

60A AGU FUSE INCLUDED,

2 RING TERMINALS 4GAUGE,

2 SPADE TERMINALS: 4GAUGE,

5 SPADE TERMINALS: 14-16GAUGE

3 BUTT CONNECTORS,

20 CABLE TIES,

1 BLACK GROMMET.

Its the cheapest I have seen around.. on eBay 5751784949

Dont forget I dont have the lex anymore

Well I have just ordered a complete 4awg wiring kit to be safe and just in case i want to go bigger later.. Did not realise how costly they were but i suppose its better than setting your car on fire.. any way now got to work out how to get that hefty cable from one end to the other..lol

Craig

well i plan on amping the sub with a Alpine V12 Series MRV-T320 amp then getting some nice 6x9 on the parcel shelf powered by a Sony XM-250X amp

will see how we go with that.. lol

craig

Just make sure the cable can run enough current. If you put in some 4 gauge you are good for 100 amps

←

I gather that the lower number the guage the high amps it can run I only need 8 gauge with 30amp fuse inline for one.. But will that double the current draw with 2 amps drawing from the same cable.. ie make it pull 60amps??

Craig

Craig.

I know there a twelve inch but norkep has now got mine so give him a try.

rob.

←

I know..lol Its comming to me.. its 12" but I just wondered what wattage it was as I am looking at sticking a amp on it and sticking it in a ported box..

Nice one Tony.. glad you got it sorted and stood up to them.. I also had the same sort of thing and won but we was loading up the kids pushchairs and bits got me head out of the boot to see a traffic warden booking me.. and it showed on his ticket only a fews seconds after mine run out..

well done

Craig

Does anybody know the subwoofers power and make?? from a mk1

Craig

I plan on running 2 amps in the car in the boot 1 to power the sub and another to power a pair of 6x9's .. But as i have never run 2 before I am not sure on the power cables.. Can i run just the 1 from the Battery into the boot witn a distributer block on the end and then run 2 cables from the distributer box to both amps..

Craig

If anybody is in need of parts I know whos now got my gs300 the b stewards even got hold of my work number somehow and ask me for all the paperwork for it that I had not given to the insurance company.. I told him to go jump.. there my receipts.. lol

craig

somebody was on about the splitters I had on mine.. well there is a set or 2 on eBay at the mo..7949428012

Just thought I would let you know...

Craig

The one I put on my car was a WRX spoiler with brake light.. I got it from eBay and had it resprayed cost me £120 then fitted it myself.. If i could have taken it of the car I would have..lol

craig

cheers guys for all you NICE remarks..lol .. stay tuned I have already been looking and side skirts and front lips...induction kit.. also got my eye on a grille on eBay that I might try to mod..lol I pick the car up tommorow lunchtime.

I will stay around and would still like to come to the odd meet just to keep in touch with you guys..although might have to hide the car in the corner..lol

Craig

without meaning to worry you.. could it be the discs are warped slightly and rubbing slightly on the brakes.. Hence when over 60 they get hotter and expand a bit more hence even more noise.. Only a though not an expert opinion..

I would take it back and tell them you not happy with the noise and get them to test the car..
