quick ice question for all you ice fiends...

[tailoutcharlie]

I have a set of alpine components with a 16cm main driver, while I wait to fit them properly in the front would it be ok to use the tweeters and crossovers with a standard set of alpine 13cm speakers i have already installed?







while i've got your attention,

I have a vibe amp/sub combo all in one box, I want to be able to remove this occaisionally (its in a touring). can anyone recommend a suitable connector for the side trim. I want to be able to just unplug the power supply and earth as the rca cable can just be pulled off.

most important it must be SAFE.


Long rambling post i know, but and help would be much appreciated,
cheers peeps

You'll be fine if you hook the tweets/x-over up with the existing setup for now


Can't comment on the second question

[Pyros]

the second part to your question could be resolved by using a suitable 3pin plug, for example you could try using the solid connectors for extending lawnmower power leads they are strong come in black so you wont be able to see it and they are water proof if you ever get a leak

Cheers Dave, thought so, just wanted to check.


and Pyro, bloody good idea

[aceraf]

You could just remove the fuse for the power cable, and then they can be removed.

i like this idea

[riklusby]

When i built my system i bought some PA jacks used by pro musicians to hook up audio gear for concerts from a local music store, little expensive but worked really well !!

[tailoutcharlie]

some good ideas here folks.

[dazleeds]

i agree trip to maplins for some quality jack plugs
will give good quality connection and so easy to unplug, job done

also like the 3pin live plug idea tho

[tailoutcharlie]

cant decide whether to do a plug for just the live and earth, or plugs for the whole lot, the power cable will be coming down the drivers sill of the car and the rca and remote turn on cable down the passenger side.

[chu346]

Do it only for the power and the earth, use a simple bullet connector for the remote wire and get some covers/bungs for the rca's

[kam325itouring]

Vibe actually do a quick release connector for the power.

nice one kam

Kettle lead would work well, it has 3 wires going throuh. Male on one end..Female on the other...n jobs a good un.

This Is what I done as I screwed the amp to the box, hence no need to worry about disconnecting the wires to the sum and only one thing to carry out.

[kam325itouring]

the only prob with a kettle lead is you cant get a decent sized cable into it!!!

have found a perfect plug in the local hardware store. Its three or two pin with a nice big hole. will post pics when i get round to it.
