How do u get to the speakers mounted in the dash! i have installed 2 amps! ! for subs and then i also have another running 6x9's then the same amp on the other 2 channels running some alpine dorr speakers through a set of cross overs but cant put tweeters in the dash! Any ideas??? Cheers
-
When u get a min! Unplug all the rca leads from the amps! Then plug the sub rca leads in, then just set the bass up on its own! Repete this with 6x9's and componants! I mean unplug everything but the 6x9's then once there set up unplug them then set up the componants on your head unit! Most head uniths with pre-out's now have 1 specially for subs and there are usually loads of different setting on the head unit for frequency's! But if u do one at a time when there all plugged in it should sound sweet with maybe a slight balance adjustment!!!

My Efforts at a Wheel Refurb - pics - Now with Lacquer P2!
Matty Newquay replied to djmac56's topic in Exterior
Nice one! Did u buy all the paint from halfords??? I just bought some deep dish rims with a decent set of tires on for £70, only prob is on 2 of the rims (the dish part) the lacquer is flaking off! So gonna attempt to fix them up! I haven't got a garage though! Spraying them out side in the shed then bringing them to the house would be okay do u think??? Cheers -
OK cheers!!!!!!

WHey had anyone done this themselves or does anyone know how you get the old bearing out!! I changed the front drivers side bearing this avo on my 1992 1.8 16v and it was a right bastard!! How do u get the old bearing out without destroying it!!! There are 2 circa clips but u can only see 1 untill the hub has been knocked off, i say see, i mean get to! then once u've pushed the new bearing in is there an easy way to put the hub (splined bit) back into the center???? i spent 6 hours doing it but my cars still making the same noise, so b4 i do the other one any advice would be awsome!!! #cheers
-
Hey dude! Did u find the source of the problem yet? Mine is doing the same! I spent all afternoon today changing the wheel bearing on the front and its made no differance! Bastard !!!!!!
-
Yeah cold ait feed needed and also heat shield from engine!!!!! Maybe it'd be possible to adapt another filter from something else???
-
Just been out with anothr vw owner and he sayis it sounds like the font bearing is on its way out but isnt totally screwed! Maybe i will wait a few days to see if it devlopes further then check the wheels again!!!

Ok driving back from bristol yesterday did about 160 miles at a steady 65-80mph just as i arrived back to newquay i could hear a rumbling, sounded like it was a wheel bearing. I've just had all corners of the car in the air and i cant feel anything out of the ordinary on any wheel! the noise dosent vary if u change directions! There's hardly any play in the drive shaft! The noise is real faint untill i hit 35mph then it gets real noticable but any speed above that it dosent get any louder? Its not a knockin sound and theres no play in the steering rack! Any ideas would be real helpfull! Cheers Matt
