Albannach's ICE Thread

[darkdezigns]

I know. But I spend more time listening to music in the car than the house. Sound dampening helps, but you're right, accoustically, a big tin box isn't great.

But, I'll still trounce Brokendownvan in a contest

why ty,well i still cant do pics,because my sd card troubles,i will as soon as i have that sorted tho,my system consists of...
a pretty decent sony head unit
2 infinity kappa 6x9s in the dash(not a pretty fit tho)
2 infinity kappa 6x9s in rear quarters
a run of the mill mosfet 400w amp to run those 4
then 2 12 inch vibe subs in a box perfect fit bettween the arches
vibe amp running those is 100ow iirc
oh and sound sensitive blue neon kit

Or worse! driving lowered Corsa's with plastic bodykits...

What's yours? You can't rip the crap out of mine without showing your own.

wooooooh sorry mate i think you got the wrong end of the stick. im not ripping the crap out of yours at all. thats not what i meant.
but i still stand by what i said about needing speakers in the back though.
lets just agree to dissagree its no biggy.
and yes im sure it sounds amazing compared to my standard speakers that are blowing

As splendid as the new surf is,the stereo was pants.
I acquired a jvc head unit ,some 4x10's for the front and rear
the rears tool about an hour ,the fronts
..…well they took Ll ###### day,hacking included

This wasn't supposed to be a contest, this was supposed to be about installing the ICE in my truck.

i was thinking about putting this in the back of my surf but wasnt sure about how i could wire it up?

Start a thread then. I'm sure someone will help you out.

This seems like the most apropriate place to post this....

Don't know if you remeber, but a while back i was talking to you about specing me an amp that could cope with my subs (shitty i know)....

I have a freind who can install it all, thankfully....

So, I have a set of tweeters 300w MAX.

Also have a set of subs(as you know) 2 x 12" 1 = 350w x 2 = 700w MAX. which you sed if i remeber correctly will run at roughly 200-300w continuously, fair enough.

So my questions really are

What size speakers are advisable to fit in the FRONT

And is it worth fitting speakers in the rear, taking into consideration thier is a sub in the rear??

Also what are the standard sizes for a surfs speakers, front and rear...

Oh lastly, what sort of amp would be reqiured to hook all this stuff up


Man i ask too many questions, i apologise....

You're being very laid back at the moment Andy, isn't it time you let rip? You normally don't tolerate these kinds of comments.

I did pen one of my acid replies, but I don't want to waste the thread.

Just tweeters?

What size speakers are advisable to fit in the FRONT

The standard fronts are 4". 6" or 8" mids will go in the doors, but you'll need to fabricate something to make them fit properly.

And is it worth fitting speakers in the rear, taking into consideration thier is a sub in the rear??

In my opinion, no. Others will argue that point though.

Also what are the standard sizes for a surfs speakers, front and rear...

4" fronts, no idea what the rears are.

Oh lastly, what sort of amp would be reqiured to hook all this stuff up

What's your budget?

[mousey]

Just tweeters?

These are the specs for the tweeters.... got given them so not too bad...

1.5" Dome Tweeter
0.52" Voice Coil
300W Max
Impedance 4 Ohm
SPL 97dB / W / M
Frequency Range 5KHz - 20KHz

The standard fronts are 4". 6" or 8" mids will go in the doors, but you'll need to fabricate something to make them fit properly.

Didn't really want to go down that root of making customer door pods, rather keep it looking as standard as pos.

In my opinion, no. Others will argue that point though.

Fair point

4" fronts, no idea what the rears are.

So if i purchased aftermarkets/uprated if that what you can call them, it would be a direct replacement of the orginals?

What's your budget?

Not alot atm.... nothing really over 80-100sqiud.

theres no need to let rip at anyone. im not trying to offend in any of my posts and i have previously said this in hope that the poster knows im only making convo and playing around.

i may still be fairly new on here and i would hate for people to take what i say the wrong way.
im not an aggressive person in any shape or form. i am however very cheeky and SARCASTIC.
it is a disscusion forum after all. x

Hardly letting rip, goodcat. As you say you're new on here and maybe haven't seen some of Andys more caustic replies, he's a master of them I can assure you, and he doesn't take kindly to p*ss takers on his threads.

The thing is that lighthearted comments are sometimes taken the wrong way and then a slanging match begins, which can evolve into a big issue.

You're right, it is a disscussion forum and as people often point out it would be pretty boring if everyone agreed with everyone else. Just don't be surprised if some of the old hands on here take umbrage at your 'cheeky or sarcastic' comments. Because once those guys take it upon themselves to reply you'll see my comment was a gentle hint.

No offence taken or intended mate.
