Hi guys!I have some vibe 3 way components which are now installed, I want to run the cable straight from the amp (in the boot) to the speakers rather than using the thin factory cables. EVERYONE i have asked have said its not possible, and to use to the factory wire. Surely other people have run the fronts straight off the amp before?!?!? Looking for advice!!! Cheers |

you have been asking retards for advice  just get some 1.5mm² wire and run it from the amp all the way back to doorlooms, through the loom rubber, drill a small hole in the door (dont forget to seal it of so the metal doesnt cut the wire) and hook up the comps. I fail to see the problem? ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I  this place.

I couldnt believe it when nobody wanted to do it!!Someone of the people said they would need to take the door off to drill the hole. which was going to cost ££££ Others said they wouldnt risk drilling any holes! |

taking the door off takes 15min. or soand drilling, well, just check that you don't hit anything  pretty easy to do by yourself ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

mmm try searching for that, I'm sure there is a topic around here that explains the removing of the door and everything related to it.________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

Ok!! All done!!I dont know what the big deal was!?!? But, hooked up my components and the woofer's have blown :-( I was driving around playing them without the corss over until the door was taken off and drilled... someone told me that not playing them through the cross over is what has blown them!! Do anyone know if Vibe sell the woofer from the component set alone? Or am I going to have to fork out for a new component set? |

shouldnt blow the woofer unless its turned up too high.... the comps might be under warrenty try calling vibe, if that fails there is a company on ebay that sells vibe gear for cheap ________________________________________ allesclar wrote: wrote: the only kind of similarities of the xsi and a 6' is if you jumble the letters round to spell six |

Did some of my wiring today for my new install. I had all the seats out so my RCA down the centre was easy, which was a suprise. I thought the door speakers would be a sinch aswell. How mistaken was I. Ive decided to use completely new speaker cable, so following other threads I drilled a hole in the hinge crevice, drilled another hole adjacent on the inside, stuck the cable in and found myself fiddling with this f*cking thing for 20 minutes. Only to find out theres a meatal plate in the middle.  So as I was getting more and more fustrated I decided to work on the door. Drilled a hole where I thought it would come out nice, put the cable in, further....further. Lovely... stick my hand in the door to grab it..... where the f*ck is it. Id only drilled in the place where the door has this funny U shaped plate as extra reinforcement.  It couldn't get any worse. f*ck that, tea break, bit of snooker ill have a think and come back.Any way came back to this complete disaster of an install, looking at these 3 holes Id drilled.  Decided in the end to drill a hole in the lip and feed it in that way. (Its the middle one of the 3 holes you can see)  As I was already wound up I decided not to take the door off but instead take the fender off and drill just below the loom connector. Result. Straight through and nice & tidy. So if anyone else is thinking of doing this don't make the same mistake as me, otherwise you'll end up P38'in your motor and getting rather p*ssed off  Almost finished, but what it looks like installed greater detail.    |
