great job will deffo help me out

[VTRelite]

when changing over my front door speakers i jus had to prise the speaker cover off the door with a flat blade screwdriver and it came off easy without breaking

[Predator_R32p]

you can do that but if your putting components in you need to wire them up behind the doorcard to crossocer etc and also its best to sound deadd around the hole and also use an mdf ring to get a good mounting for good sound and no rattles

[imydaking]

sorry for reviving this

Could someone do a guide on uprating the big 3? or is there one already i cant seem to find much by searching, just descriptions

some pics of someones done would be good

[Horrox_342]

Awesome guide as per mate, car is an absolute beauty!

Good job, looks very profressional.

I was looking to replace mine aswel but found a few problems whilst going around it.

I would have to drill new holes for the replacement speakers because they didnt sync in to the original holes. (still havent managed to succeed as the metal is rock solid) might get some1 to install them for me.

also I was wondering if the X-over boxes are worth installing for little extra?

got some tweeters too, but struggling to find a suitable place for them to fit.

[Iced]

theres got to be a way to fit 6.5s with just a mdf ring or something without mullering the door card?

[Predator_R32p]

there is kick builds but anymore than 13cm you will need to do pods

could cut the door to bits then the doorcard on the back to stop the cone hitting off it bustill th sound will be muffled slightly, plus with the magnet being bigger then the window wont go all the way down

Hi! That was a very good and helpfull thread!
I had recently my Jvc stolen
The #@^$^!@%$ that stole it, cut all the wires which were connected to the iso connector.
I have installed a new one but unfortunatelly the backlight doesn't work

What have i done wrong??? Could someone tell me for sure what does each color of the wires mean?

My new HU has only 3 pins on A connector. (GRND, ignition 12v, battery 12v)

ps 1) Help me plzzzzzz!!!
ps 2)I'm from Greece so forgive my English!!!!

[bell4321]

is replacing three of the earths neccessary if your just wiring up a simple install? was gonna wire up my fli sub at the weekend but havent done it before and im a beginner lol so wondered if replacing the three earths you mentioned is neccessary jus for a basic active sub? thanks

[Lozza_vtr]

So i have been doing a bit of research about the big 3. On the internet it says that you add to the original grounds, so i guess the original are left in place?

Also that a fuse is required in between the alternator and battery cable when upgrading the cable.

Anyone done this, can anyone confirm this?

[Thejj]
