Also are these subs any good?

I ever recomend in dash dvd players there too expencive and its not much fun watching a dvd on a small screen sat in a car. For £600 you could get a nice 37 or 42" LCD screen for your room at home. You will get a lot more use from that and it will be loads better to watch. How often do you sit in your car for an hour and a half parked up?

As for the subs you can get a lot better for the money.

My mate has both of those in his focus, the Vibe sub is amazing, really punchy clear bass! You'll love it, well worth the money IMO if you have it to spend readily.

The headunit is also pretty good, a lot cheaper than mine and looks pretty good!

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 15:32

although the headunit is nice, i wouldnt recommend you get an indash mottorised screen as there not fully face off and are a magnet for thieves as ive found out, i have one now nut its garaged and has a good alarm and i wouldnt park it in any dodgy places

basically you would be better with sun visor screens and a dvd headunit, without the screen, much more stealth like and the headunit will fully face off

tbh i rarely use dvds in my car id rather be sitting at home but its just a novelty item

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 17:30

yea i kinda just wanted the dvd screen to be a bit flashy tbh...but i still wanted a decent head unit so what ever speakers i eventually get dont sound shit!

What you think of the subs pred? you seem to know alot about this kinda stuff so ill more than likely decide weather to get them or not based on your opinion

And how much does the sunvisor screens cost? sounds expensive lol

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 17:38

subs - i wouldnt have them tbh, theres much better out there, spend the money on just one sub and a decent amp, sound deadening and decent wiring

sun visor screens dont cost that much tbh, have a look on ebay you can get some good deals on them

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 19:15

is there much difference between the different sound deadening?

Theres some for a tenner and some that are 100quid+(not a chance im spendin that) so should i aim for middle of the range or is the tenner stuff good enough?

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 19:19

ive got ivanhoe stuff and its stopped any rattles and keeps the sound inside the car, dynamay and brown bread are supposeably the best but cos a lot more, id stick with the ivanhoe it does the job

what bits are you going to do exactly??

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 19:28

i figured id do the boot floor, the boot and the doors. Is that "right" or should i so somewer else aswell?

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 19:58

its up to you but thats all ive done mate, to do that id say get 4 rolls, you may be left with some but its always best to order more than you need

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 20:08

cheers that was gunna be my next question lol. is it easy enough to fit it?

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 20:22

yes mate, just peel off the backing and use a roller to work it onto the metal, it may need heating up on the back with a heatgun though

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 20:26

do i buy a roller sparate? i have a lack of heat gun also...so would a hairdryer do if its needed?

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 20:46

yeah or even put it on the radiator for a bit, just when i applied mine in the cold it didnt stick so heated it up and then it was ok

the roller just a mini roller like this

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 21:00

cheers, hopefully ill have all the ice done in two weeks.

Also a little off topic but is this the same as your stering wheel? if so what size did you get and what boss kit?http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/5970.html

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 21:20

yeah mate its the same wheel as mine but mine might be the 350mm version not sure, the boss kit was off ebay, it was a momo one but tbh it wasnt a great fit the holes didnt line up that good had to re drill them on the wheel, there are universal ones on ebay and chances are they will probablies fit a hell of a lot better

ive also got the snap off on it so wheel just comes off for security

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 21:27

nicest wheel ive seen tbh! i think the others look a bit skinny or somethin...the snap off..is this just something the wheels does or what lol?

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 21:35

well do you know like F1 cars, the wheel just comes off its a bit like that but with a key

i bought it basically because it was cheap tbh plus its got a rubber centre bit so i would stand a bettter chance in a crash than wheels that have a steel centre

Jacko · 17th July 2007, 21:44

So if i buy the wheel i will have the snapp off option...or did you modify the wheel so it could do this?

Predator_R32^p · 17th July 2007, 21:46

its a seperate thing mate just the boss and wheel to have it as normal then the snap off kit you can buy seperately, basically another boss that comes apart by pressing in two buttons ill get some pics tomorrow or summit
