If I was you I would wire the iPod to the glovebox instead of having it hanging out. You don't need access to it whilst driving so may aswel hide it away? That's what I've done.

Never really thought about it before, but you've got a point. Ill have a look at that, try tuck it out the way.

hi just wondering what size door speakers you have got as I'm looking to buy a set and need to know what size to get. also how many channels do they have because I'm not sure about what they do

cheers

Not 100% sure off the top of my head but I think there 6.5 inch or 16.5 cm, same front and rear. I have 220 watts in the front 180 in the rears and I have the fronts amped. Think there 2 way if thats any help, if you go to the forum section and put a post in the ice section I'm sure you will find someone with better expertise.

just bought some new door speakers and i was just wondering did you remove the whole door panel or the speaker cover to fit your new speakers many thanks

Looks ace matey i like it.

Removed the the Door cards at the front because I added new speaker covers, but if you are using the original ones you can pop them off without taking door card off. Thats how I fitted the rears, be careful tho I snaped a few of the plastic bits on the back of the covers, probably best to remove them.

Thanks for the comments.

Bigger than the door card holes or the actual door holes them self.

bigger than the actual door card holes so i cant remove the speakers

In that case your have to remove the door cards.

There is a plastic strip in the centre of the door handle, prize this off with your fingers or use a flat head screw driver, take care not to scratch the handle.

once thats off there will be a big screw to undo with a philips screw driver take that out.

Now move down to where the tweeter is, open the door wide and you should see another screw at the front edge of the door card.

undo that and work your fingers around the door card gently pulling it to unclip the poppers holding it on.

Once you have done that pull the door handle and lift the door card off, over the central locking pin.

on the drivers side door there will be two wires attached for the electric windows and mirrors, just unclip them and there you go.

passenger side has just got one wire for the window to unclip.

Hope this helps.

Original wheels are back on as the tyres have worn on the other set, used the oppurtunity to have a change.

I have refurbed the rims and had one of the centres sprayed, swapped the grill badge back to silver and removed

the front door tints after hassel from the cops.

Are you putting the multispokes back on? I thought it looked good on them, bit of a change from the norm. But not in a bad way :lol:

Will put them back on eventually, but for now I'm happy with the bbs rims. The tyres on the others are worn on the inner edges, but rather than shell out for new ones. I just put the original wheels back on for a change, need to get the tracking done really as the last set had uneven wear.
