Coax front speakers with component tweeters and an amp that's way bigger than necessary?
Couldn't be bothered to look at the rear stuff after that. Have you just picked a random selection of speakers and amps?

Yes, it'll be great - get saving.

[armanib]

Nope not random.

[armanib]

Some get me a good setup then please

Ive got the following and it sounds ace, even has quite good bass, all powerd by an 8 year old head unit wich sounds better than a brand new £60 clarion radio i suppose its like a 6 year old bmw or brand new suzuki

Front with tweeters in bmw tweeter pods

these in rear, they just fit (obviosly i binned the council grills)

i paid £80 for this

(just turn the bass boost function off or it will distort low down, still plenty of bass you can feel with it off)

it goes loud enough that it makes my ears want to bleed when all set up properly

Aint they 13cm in the rear?

[armanib]

Whats difference between coaxial and components?

[Alex]

Aint they 13cm in the rear?

if you cut the parcel shelf 6.5s will just fit, not sure if all 6.5s will fit

best bet would be to find some slimline ones

[Alex]

Whats difference between coaxial and components?

coaxial, have tweeters mounted in the middle of the speaker, and comps have them seperate and come with crossovers, they sound way better

this is what i did with the tweeters

[armanib]

Alex im a complete novice at this could you do me a diagram i can vaguely remember wiring a sub in on the startlet but not speakers .
Cant member where to get the positive power from on the battery
Thanks

[Alex]

battery is in the engine bay with a + side, run that from there through the bulkhead, there is a gromet right next to battery tray, run that wire to the boot or where ever the amp is, then an earth, i earthed mine behind the rear bench

you need rca cables from the back of your stereo going to the amp aswell, aswell as a remote cable this is usually a blue wire on the back of the stereo loom, usually used for leccy ariels too, this connects to the REM bit on the amp

then you want to run speaker wire from the amp to each speaker, (one in each corner of the car) the rear ones are easy there are holes under where the speakers are. then if you use comps in the front run the wires from the amp straight to the crossovers and then the tweeter and speaker both connect to the cross over


probably sounds worse than it is,

the amp i have can be used to power subs too as i had one at one stage, i just connected the fronts and back to the same channel (front) and used the rear ones for the sub with the corssover set to low frequencys and bass boost on


if you plan on using one rca cable or your stereo only has one rca output you will need an adapter at the amp end to split it into two for both front and rear channels

[Alex]

just dont take the positive from an accessory light or you will probably fry the wiring loom

[armanib]

Hmm ill get a pic of my cassete back and the wiring for it and you can tell me whats what it has rca cable outlets and the blue wire i think .
The wiring ill show u is a spare and wires have fallen out but its kool

[Alex]

rca outputs, i would imagine you will have 1 or 2




blue wire here is remote, think its blue and white iirc

Cassette rear

[armanib]

Hmm ill just be on the look out now for a cheap 4 channel amp

[armanib]

IS there any point for components in the rear

[armanib]

ok alex i have decided to go with what you have.
Did the wiring come with it or do i have to get it sperate?

[Alex]

Wireing looks rite

I wouldnt go for comps in the rear

wiring needs to be bought seperatly and make sure you get a thick enough guage cable so it doesnt melt

think mine is 4 or 8 guage

[armanib]

Ok mate thanks with 16cm in the rear did you have to cut it abit or straight fit as mine are 13cm IIRC
Im guessing 13cm front and rear

[Alex]

cut the shelf with a jug saw, but be careful you cut it right and not more to one side or the speakers may not fit
