GingerFlame Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That's the amp I got sitting pretty in its box. Rather do it the old fashioned way so audio input there when hu gets upgraded so don't have to take the car apart again. Yea that's the wire I meant. Couldn't remember what it was called lol Don't think the factory hu has a signal wire for an amp but might have to have a look . . . Ah okay! Fair enough if you're definitely upgrading the headunit :) 95% sure the headunit will provide 12v DC to the antenna when switched on.. So if you find out the wire you can just tap into that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4vog Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 had chance to crack on this weekend. One box with holes glued and screwed. Been round the inside with clear silicone to seal it as well. Once that's dry the plan will be to get it carpeted some point this week ready for install! Whoop! The only questioning asking myself is where should I put the amp itself? Sent from my iPad using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Looking good! You could either mount the amp in the Spare wheelwell Or False floor Or simply on the enclosure using some vibration dampening mounts/grommets You could even hide it away under one of the front seats if you really wanted (I've mounted my 4 channel amp under there although that's powering the door Speakers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these the mount things you mentioned? eBay number 281280173607 Carpet came today so hopefully be ready to install this weekend!

d4vog Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Luxury acoustic carpet came from Radio world today, looks and feels rli good quality. Can't complain for 7quid for 100x140. Hopefully get it on with the spray adhesive picked up from Boyes this week. Also got the quadlock extender from germany. All the wires have written on em what they are so will probs get the hi to lo converter tapped in this week aswel. Maybe have it all up and running by the end of the week/month dependant on work. :-D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4vog Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 As it was ready decided to crack on and get it in. Three evenings later and we're done! Sounds brilliant! Shout out to lenny (for advice) and gingerflame (the sub itself and advice) Pics: I also put a button on ignition lead for sub so can turn off if sitting with engine off for long periods . . . (red glow matches cluster +radio :) ) Took the idea for placement from someones guide on here, cant remember whose but thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytaz Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi on your quadlock extension connector what colour wire did you use for the 12v feed when stereo is switched on please I have 2 conflicting colours of different diagrams I have orange/black or blue ?????

d4vog Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi loonytaz. I used a fuse tap to a ignition fuse in the end as couldn't find defiant answer myself, a lot of people were saying there's a wire in connector b or c that works as a sub ign lead but didn't have that wire coming out of my quadlock and havent got a volt meter to test em all. i fed wire across from fuse box across under dash and put in a switch to give full control. Sorry I can't help you further mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4vog Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Been a bit busy lately with the car, new HU – Pioneer, excellent sound quality out of factory Speakers, bluetooth and usb which is great, new Pioneer sub to compliment aswel. Went for 12inch to get a bit more boom :P Some new LED sidelights for some reason passenger side always seems brighter but cant figure outwhy? Anyone got any ideas? before after And got me a Dash cam, usb power convertor and left angled micro usb aswel to hard wire in, went with the G1HW as it had the best reviews for the value (£35 quid), captures 1080p. I think it is most likely the best addition to the car yet as you never know whats going to happen when out and about on the roads these days, would recommend everyone get one for peace of mind! Plus footage would be wicked on track days! also Bought a 16gb micro sd the other day off eBay for my dashcam and look what the H2test showed, b*st*rds trying to rip me off! H2test is a brilliant little program which tests usb/cards etc. to find fakes with memory problems. This card is similar to me, it all goes in but only half can come out haha. needless to say I requested a refund of the 4quid it cost me lol Test info:The media is likely to be defective.7.8 GByte OK (16428992 sectors)7.5 GByte DATA LOST (15910976 sectors)Details:0 KByte overwritten (0 sectors)0 KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 0 sectors)7.5 GByte corrupted (15910976 sectors)0 KByte aliased memory (0 sectors)First error at offset: 0x00000001f55f8000Expected: 0x00000001f55f8000Found: 0x0000000000000000H2testw version 1.3Writng speed: 9.42 MByte/sReading speed: 11.0 MByte/sH2testw v1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
