    IMO; Keep it as near to standard as possible (engine bay metalwork that is) just smoothing out the weld marks and minor indents/imperfections, that way it'll look smoother than normal and tidy too but won't take forever. and why bother welding up the holes you are not using? not something you need to spend ages on hey?! Just get nice factory grommets in there and be done with it. MOVE ON TO THE BITS THAT IT NEEDS!

     

     

    (Just a thought) :roll: :wink:

    Morning fellow dubbers,

     

    Today I'll be mostly trying fit a Kenwood KDC-5080R CD Head Unit in to my mk2 golf GTI (1989)... however I don't have a clue what each of the cables is for out the back of the unit!

     

    Can anyone confirm the exact details of what each colour is/does (I know the basics but I want to get it right first time)

     

    Speaker cables (I guess, but which ones?)

    Purple

    Purple with black stripes/rings around

    grey

    grey with black stripes/rings around

    white

    white with black stripes/rings around

    green

    green with black stripes/rings around

     

    The following also go to a connector block:

    Solid Red (with male/female connectors before the main connector block)

    Solid Yellow (with male/female connectors before the main connector block)

    Solid black

    Orange with white stripes/rings around

    2 x Blue with white stripes around (I'm guessing to 'remote' power the two auxiliary amps/other as there are two sets of RCA connections?)

     

    The following do not go to the main connector block:

    Black with pink stripes/rings round (labelled "EXT. CONT")

    Solid Brown

     

    Any help would be really appreciated as I am off to do it very soon and I can't find a list/diagram on the net!

     

     

    Cheers... and happy new year

    Nick

    I know Jay's not the sort of bloke to say things like this but I'm afraid I can't sit here and read the total b*****s some people have written on here!

     

    To those who think this car isn't 'anything different' or 'is clearly DIY'...

     

    Pleeease take a step back and assess what you are saying before you type it... then read it back to yourself again. Once you've done this, delete it all and start typing again then repeat step 2. If by chance you still think that you are judging a Ford Fair (you should be able to tell because chavs hang around at fairs and similarly they drive F*rds!) or think that there's little originality in Mr Renshaw's car, then try removing your head from other users' behinds, as you clearly know very little about the dub scene and the modifications carried out within it.

     

    This car has the most subtle and the most obvious of modifications that have (virtually - (paint, but not prep, excluded)) all been carried out by the owner to a degree that they look like they were made to be like that. Furthermore, the car has been produced on a very tight budget (through clever use of those who know very little about the dub scene and the modification business) with little or no outside assistance in terms of styling cues and engineering help. Aaaaand it's been done in an increadibly short space of time for someone who does something different for a living and, like the most of us, only has evenings and weekends to work on it!

     

    Give the guy a break and be constructive at least! (I'd be genuinely interested to hear the comments regarding the 'wicker man' mk2 of anyone who feels differently to the general concensous surrounding Jay's car.)

     

    Personally, (believe it or not) I think the finished product will be awesome, and I applaude Jay on his efforts.

     

    This is just my opinion BTW and not meant to offend, but if in case it has then :roll: never mind hey?

     

    I'm off to pick my toys up and get back in my pram, then return with another go on here in a few months again...

     

    Hell, I might even own a C by then! :lol: :lol: :lol:

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PS: Jay, that'll be tenner please :wink: :lol:

    Ahh, now who's the traitor! :p ;-)

     

    Looks quite nice matey, IMO, get the RH's off the cabby and swap them with the design 90's. Or put the original cross spoke stylie ones back on the raddo. I like those personally, 'specially when it's on it's RS!

     

    How's the mk1?
