Hi...!

I need one live 12 volt and 12 volt when key is on 1 or
2 position.(Only max. 5 amps.)
I can measure it with voltmeter, but if someone have exact info....
Cheer?s !

 

Hi again !
Some pic?s of subwoofer, under front seats...
Element outer diameter only 150 mm....
If I find better element , I try to upgrade these..
I have allready wires from trunk to these subs.
Ok CU...!

 

Hi...
Here speakers for frontdoor......maybe...
CU...!

 

Focals, you have good taste dude. I've almost got all the parts now to redo my audio system, Alpine 9855 head unit, H701 processor and C701 controller, new Zapco C2k 2000w amp, RE XXX15 sub, and so on. Doing everything myself this time. Reason I've been away from this board lately is because I'm spending every spare moment ordering tools and equipment and educating myself on car audio forums. I can't do the head unit like you because I'm putting two in there (9855 and C701), I'll need to fiberglass new trim or hire a machine shop to make some for me.

 

Ok, Merzbow, hello again.!
I find Fine midrange elements for front door.
Audax HP080G0 , it?s 3 inch element, so it is easy to
install to original places to doors.
So, 165 mm midbas to under frontseats, treble and midrange
to doors and 15 inch subwoofer to trunk.
I remove original rear speakers, then there is more
open cap, so airpressure of subwoofer coming better
to cabin.

E60Fun, did you hook up an antenna wire to your head unit? Did you find the antenna wire going to the iDrive and use that same wire? Also, were you successfully able to use that fuse box to fuse your head unit?

Also, how tough was it to remove the rear seats using those instructions? It looked horribly complicated.

 

Yes, I use original antennacable to new headunit.
You need adaptercable where is smb male connector in other end and
connector which coming to new headunit.
Fusebox under clovebox, there is few free fuseholder, where we can
connect new headunit.
It?s very easy to remove rear seats.
First seat, just lift it up.....and then remove two screws from backrest,
and then release two locks from trunk side.. then you can lift it up .
Here picture of original antennacable.

 

Thanks... does the fuse box have its own power supply or did you have to run a new cable from the battery to the fuse slot that you chose? I assume from your description above that the box is powered and you just used a voltmeter to find two fuse slots, one ignition switched and one constant. That would work perfectly for me.

My head unit also has a dimmer connection for an 'instrument cluster illumination lead' to allow it to dim with the rest of the dashboard - did yours have the same thing?

 

Just a hunch but I'm betting that you won't be able to interface the head unit with the dimming circuit. It's not like the old days where you just tap into the circuit...
