Audio Modz, yo!

Not to mention it is critical to get a good tune on your amp. That you can't really do yourself.

[Soup DeVille]

Give trep a break on this stuff guys.

Nail his ass to the wall on everything else if you must, but hey at least he's trying to learn how to do these things which are pretty foreign to him and enjoying himself while he's at it.

Coming from you, I say that's fair.

That is, you will nail our collective asses to the wall on anything mechanic.

And Trep and ChrisV.

Trep??

Oh yeah, and me. I am t3h pwnzor.

No. Not you.

That sounds vaguely disturbing and homoerotic.

(and people have already noted several that likely have more mechanical experience than I, and I can think of several more right now)

[Raghavan]

No. Not you.

Why not me?

[Eye of the Tiger]

I don't know what you guise are talking about, but here is a picture of an Audi V8:

That's because you wanted it to sound vaguely disturbing and homoerotic. Perv.

Don't start getting all freudian on me now.

[CALL_911]

Shut up, you stupid id.

What about Jay Doubleyou See?

[giant_mtb]

There I will disagree. Some door panels can be an absolute pain in the ass to remove. Then if you are installing aftermarket speakers, some modification may be required.

lol

[Champ]

lol

What's funny about that?

[TheIntrepid]

+1

[giant_mtb]

What's funny about that?

Because I never thought that a pain in the ass door panel would be reason enough to have someone else do it for you.  Cutting wires, I can understand, but since I doubt that was necessary in this application, it makes it funny.

There are some door panels that are SERIOUS PITA.  I would wager splicing wires is an easier "general skill" that anyone should have, than removing some door panels.

...and what does that have to do with this particular case?

[Champ]

You said you can understand getting someones help to splice wires, but could not understand getting help taking the door panel off.

[giant_mtb]

You lie.  I said that I couldn't understand having someone else do it for you.

[AutobahnSHO]

Hey now, stop the thread!

Getting door panels off is EASY.

The tricky part is taking them off without breaking/warping them or those obnoxious little plastic pieces- then getting them back on without them rattling or squeaking too much as you roll through the 'burbs..

[resume thread]

[Rupert]

The headunit itself can't power the speakers so the signal is sent to the amplifier that has its own powersource and that amplifies the signal and can power the speakers.

Wait, so I've got an invisible amplifier between my HU and my speakers?! 0_o

[Rupert]

Volume.

speakersize=((area^2)/(4*diameter*volume*e^2.7439))^1.6

And that's how you find how big your speakers are, end of discussion.

[Rupert]

That's just it. I don't listen to things very loud. Maybe sometimes in the summer when I'm on the highway at 120+ and the sunroof is open... but that's about it. The stock system in the Trep is absolute CRAP.

I almost LOL-ed at that 120 number. Then I remembered where you live. Use units, Canuck!

Most aftermarket units actually have decent amps builtin.
Many OEM stereos don't- you'll find an amp somewheres.

My SHO had 2 amps behind the rearseat (but hidden from the trunk by a panel)- and 2 subs under the reardeck speakers..

Mine's above the glovebox behind the dash panels...hidden from view.

[VTEC_Inside]

Under the passenger seat in the RSX-S.

[giant_mtb]

Mine's above the ceiling covered in three layers of duct tape underneath the rear shelf system next to the spare tire of the right-rear wheelwell.
