Project Buzzin Hornet - Complete!

[markmeus]

They're component but they don't have those crossover things, the little tweeter ones just plugged into the big ones. So maybe thats why theyre crap!

To be fair they're not awful, just not as good as a new Astra! lol

What annoys me the most is the way they vibrate. But I guess no matter what the problem is, fitting an amp would do no harm.

 

[antnee]

What vibrates exactly? May be just something not tight in/on the door

 

[markmeus]

Yeh its kinda like a vibration from the bottom of the door, so maybe the speaker is loose in the adaptor or some broken clips are ratteling around.

Will have to check it out sometime.

Are you running standard head unit markmeus?

Coming along antnee, will it all be in before wednesday? Mine was going to be on coilovers before the meet, but held off... got an exhaust tho check it out

 

[markmeus]

Yup standard head unit, no amp, pioneer speakers,

Sorry for hijacking your thread Antnee

 

[antnee]

Its, ok. If you get a amp, it needs to be able to take highlevel input unless you get convertors (see adam1.4's thread)

Just finished it off, its all wired up and works, will go out in a bit to find a empty industrial estate to set it up though, buts its fairly loud and bassy even at vol 18

 

[antnee]

Just been out to set it up, still needs a little fine tuning, but can wait for now (will sort it when I get a sub in (ie, turn bass boost down, gain up a little))

From the drivers seat

At some point in the future I will paint it black and put something across the front upto the dash

 

[markmeus]

Yup, think I might get an amp! Been reading up on them and I think it's what I need. Apparently the standard head unit is pretty pants for its output.

Also been reading Adam's guide. So I'm going to have to search and see whats a decent one and convince my dad to help me fit it.

Me thinks a passenger's legs are going to get a bit warm there mate! Sure it sounds sweet, will be having a listen tomorrow

 

[antnee]

Shouldn't be too bad, got the footwell blowers from the AC anyway

 

[Silver1.6-Sport]

got my sub all done now note false floor for the win

 

[antnee]

You may have seen from else where on the forum that I think Ive killed my speakers, from the advice on Talkaudio, I had the settings on the amp totally wrong

Bugger!

Killed a set of speakers in less than 24hours!

Awesome

hello mate, just brought a mk3 ibiza, 1.4 it looks amazing and is a large step up from my corsa, its good to see (from your pics) how quickly a image change is and plan on vamping mine as soon as.

I bought them new but from a guy on ebay, only cost me £20. Just gives me the chance to buy better ones! Will only take me a few mins to swap over.

Gave it a much needed wash yesterday before the Derby meet. Had been 2 and a half weeks and it was bad!
This side was 10x better than the other side

Washed

Today!

Some from the Derby meet

Got it booked in the garage for monday for oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and sort out the 2 blowing exhaust joints and will look at the 3rd on the manifold, if its simple he will sort it. So should be alot better next week as it desperately needs this service, I'm going to put some injector cleaner through it too.

cool thread man, cars lookin good

 

[antnee]

I think I've decided on what wheels I'm going to get, after trying to think outside the box, I decided looking in the box will be much better! Also decided on whats happening with the front end. all will be revealed when I have some money!

Seriously though, phase one of the front bumper may get done in the upcoming weeks

 

[Daymo]

what wheels you decided on going for then?? i think im going to do something to my front bumper soon, with the help of a friend/sprayer/bodywork i should be able to get a nice gap were the slats are supposed to be
