Hideing bits!

Post by Playbunny »

Iv just put in a nice DVD unit in the car. It did come with so so much wireing it was unreal but I managed to hide that on top of the air vent.

The problem I have is I have an extunal (exuise the spelling) unit to hide aswell as an amp for my stereo. Where can they go. I dont want them on show for the whole world to see [-X

Depending on the size of the unit, you could put it in the cubby hole behind the pax/drivers seat. Seen a nice disc changer sat in there before with a slot cut into the metal for access to the loader.

That solves the one unit just the amp to go. I do have the ECU for the blitz Boost control in there already but it should fit.

Put the amp in the boot like I did on your white one.

It is possible, but I dont like it there. Plus the pax will get a hot ar$e, and with your driving it gets a little hot there anyway, so I wouldn't recommend it. Although for the hash of a job you've done at installing it so far it may be the easiest option.

I put my amps on the firewall behind the passenger seat just be careful when you drill though as the fuel filler pipe runs behind the wall in the engine bay :)

Thats because you are trying to convince yourself that a ditched amp and fuse stuck to the window is a good install. Trust me its shody, and the fuse on the window is a dead give away to a thief that you are running some ICE.

Yeah but if someone wants it they'll get it come hell or high water. Luckily stereo theft is less of an issue these days though. HU are useless without the faces, who's gonna be ar$ed to remove a door panel for a set of speakers. So what are you big plans for the ICE?

Not a huge amont but I want the car to look nice and sound nice and I intend to keep this one for a while.

Going to uprate Sub to 10" Kicker. Uprate front speckers to kickers aswell. Also I need some thing behind my head in the corners to inharnce the sound. To make it like suround sound. The unit I have just got has made the sound quilty much better already its unreal. Very pleased with it.

Car is haveing skirts and spoiler sprayed in a few weeks and im hopeing to get the bomex front spliter at some point. I want the car looking different, nice but not over the top.

Be careful with getting something put behind your head. it can be too piercing and over power the rest of the system. You should have got components instead of co-axials for the front, as that would raise the sound line, and probaly remove the need for any rear speakers.

:-k So with all this money being spent on tunesetc hav you got any spare to pay for a radiator and dump valve yet?
