Dazza's Maintenance Thread
dazza:
I actually enjoyed it today. It was much more organised than the other days, took my time and tidied tools and sh*t as i went. Mainly due to knowing exactly what i was doing. I like jobs like this usually any excuse to get the soldering iron out.
I'm a little peeved that i cannot get the mids to fit as i know other people have fitted them.
@jedi-knight83 did you deaden the door card? When i fade to the door that i've done it seems that all of the sound is coming from the tweeter i suspect its from the massive mid and the sh*tty positioning of the woofer.
@th3_f15t will take some pics and notes tomorrow when i run the wires through the door.

I did a bit on the back of the door card but i want to do more and also put a closed sell foam over the whole thing as well now like i've done with my caddy.
Just swap to the smaller HL70 speakers. they will sound just as good if not better and will fit easily.
Also check all your polarities on the speakers. if one of them is the wrong way round it will ruin the sound and may be why it sounds like its all from the tweeter.
dazza:
@jedi-knight83 i think the door card produce most of the rattles. I will have a go at them another day.
Finished the passenger door today. The door card fitted. But as i was tightening the two bolts in the centre the plastic cap behind the mid popped off i had a feeling this might happen so i fitted the outer skin last. Will be ordering some HL70's soon.
Ran out of decent speaker wire so could not start on the rears. Started running the wires from the head unit to boot. Hopefully will get the fronts connected to the amp tomorrow.
dazza:
Got the amp on just to test.
There is a massive improvement the sound no longer seems to be coming from the tweeter.
Any one running an Audio Control LOC. Does the signal sensing work. I thought it was working until i switched off the head unit and the lights stayed on.
dazza:
So id does go off eventually. How long does the RNS 510 stay on for after you switch off the engine? Is this going to drain the battery having 2 amp and LOC stay on also.
