that seems like a good idea but ive got 2 questions

1
does the cap just go along the wires to the speakers

2
does it have to be one of these big 1 farad phoniex big yokes cos that will seriously limi my space

yeh it is a power cap. rover u got the part number yeT? would it work the same for components?

When u say cap do u mean a power cap?????? Sorry guys i'm new to ice terminology

I'll dig out the part number from maplins, but if you're going to run amp'd 6x9's, run a small cap with them. You'll be certainly suprised. One of my mates (pro ice installer) told me about it. I thought he was pulling my leg, so i tried it. And wow :). The only was i can describe it is as a more punchy feel to the speaker.
Ste

eh

So a 450 W set of 6x9's is going to sound like it?
It goes on whats amplifing it. My 12" in my 214 was 300W being powered by a 120W amp. then i got the 600W kenny one and it sounded like it was going to make your head explode :lol:
Wiring for 6x9's will be sufficient using the standard wiring. People spend loads on wires for their speakers when in fact 100's of independant studies have proved that no one can tell the difference under 2000W.
I'm not a keen fan of rear speakers. SQ+ won't put rear speakers in cars unless their installing 5.1 surround. And they've been in the ICE business for a long time and serious know their stuff.

Forgot to mention - if you're going for 6x9's, do it properly and put in small caps before the wiring.

yup they are bad. my bro replaces his every 3 months, hes a daft twat

Have to agree mate, they arent all that good a speaker. Always look for the rms figure when checking power ratings- probably will be around 100w

lol yeh obviously you are clueless like my bro, he got them for £30 brand new from motorworld and they are connected to the 60wx4 alpine mp3 headunit and they are so wank, corb or someone can you please back me up? lol :D

OH AUSTIN 80W BOLLOX my bro an his mates both have boschmann an they are top quality speakers when linked to a half decent head unit so get your head out ur arse..... :lol:

cheers boys i'll give it a go

i put my wire down the side trim...take 10 min inc takin off trim!

boschmann, why? 450w, realistically it will push out about 80w when amplified.

In the boot you can clip off some parts of the trim panels, take them off, and look up there and u should see the wires.

No mate i have sum boschmann 450w 6x9's that i might put in at the weekend.

How easy is it to disconnect the original rear speakers??? ANy tips

Why are you going to carry on using your rear tiny speakers??

Most people just unplug them and wire it to the orig wires, easier that way.

Just for info, I fitted my changer cable down under the sills, bot carpet, but down the middle is meant t be better.

When connecting 6x9's to the head unit where has everyone run the wires, under door sills, carpet WHERE????????:look:
