A great little upgrade for cars with the basic 6 speaker hifi option - cost me under £40 and 20 mins per side to fit

Did you disconnect the battery?

As I was just dealing with speaker level audio, I didn't disconnect the battery, but the ignition was firmly off with no keys in it

When dealing with airbags you should always disconnect the battery, pull the plug out and you will have the airbag warning plus a trip to the dealer to fix it.

One thing Jas, the amp in the M-ask is not very strong so don`t turn it up very loud or the tweeters will start popping.


Oh and I can reset airbag warnings

I've just updated the guide with a message to disconnect the battery first

I like my music loud so how loud is loud?

Will adding the L7 mids reduce the amount I can turn the volume up compared to just having the L7 tweeters?

Think you may need extra amping to run L7 mids satisfactorily
