Corsa C and Components

[Boydie]

wot on earth would a ICE shop be able to do with a corsa c in fitting components?

the corsa c isnt like most wee cars where the speaker cover comes off separately - it has to be awkward and hide behind the whole doorcard!

wot do u do with them if u want to put in 6.5" comps on custom pods?

mate of mine is looking for more noise up front after buying speakers and amp for the back

how do u solve this prob?

 

[delboy]

never even knew that, i also would need to know this

 

[Boydie]

did u not take a look ever or even notice lol

Build a stand alone pod on an MDF base and mount it onto the card - makes it easier to make them sealed as you can cut away the standard grille and make a cylindrical depth chamber to add to the pod volume...

Or, fiberglass onto the card and then paint/trim the whole thing.

Alternatively....modify the door with a spacer ring or a bit of chopping to take the 6.5's direct.

What size are standards anyhow?

 

[Boydie]

think they are 13cm

going to fone SIM 2moro

Sound in Motion did the work for me if thats were ure planning on heading, ask him about doing mines.... he just done my MG on thursday so he should know who ure on about..

 

[Boydie]

goood good lad

thats wot i thot they would do

they 6.5? or 5.25?

 

[Jay7]

5.25.... there the only ones that wouldfit flush on the section otherwise there'd have beenalot of cutting and moulding

sim done an excellent job, very neat and tidy and they sounded excellent.

 

[Boydie]

yeah thats wot i was bout to ask - how was the sound quality

does sound vary much between 5.25 and 6.5??

 

[Jay7]

nope not really, he told me ya would hardly notice the difference....i was extremely impressed with the type r's. you any idea wat ure gonna go for? i went a bit further this time in the mg though and went for type x alpines purely amazing

 

[Boydie]

[Jay7]

mines are the new style silver type x ones...... sound in motion had to order ones in and he got a package deal on them so he can do them a bit cheaper.... around £250 i think.....considering there £300 all over the net its a damn good deal
