Cheers gents... Baz it's the scuttle bolts that concern me lol, I'll end up smashing something with rage haha! To be honest it's quite a good oppurtunity to tidy up any messy bits in the loom aswell. That combined with the matrix etc will probably end up taking up a full weekend.

Take 5 mins to take out so why not. Even then Ive run hid's in all my cars and never failed an mot and my garage is quite strict. You've just got to make sure your headlights are aligned and the loom/ballast is secured properly etc. And yes I know the new laws state you have to have self levelling and washers but I don't see many garages implementing this too strictly to be honest. Think about it, how do we get away with decats... Lol. Corrado stock light output should be an mot failure, they're epicly poor.

Yeah it looks like a plain but I don't mind working with the cars interior so should be ok... Im just going to wait till I have all the trim bits I want and strip the whole interior in one go. Storms looking ace btw... I found it quite amusing how both your old valver and vr are for sale ATM lol.

Cheers Cazza, just found this guide... http://www.corrado-club.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8848 Going to be a PITA. Job for the warmer weather me thinks, probs change the heater matrix at the same time...

Cheers Andy, any pics of said bolts? Bit of a dumbass request but I don't have my next rado just yet and I suspect it's going to have a grey dash which I personally dislike. Thanks

Lol Here he is... http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?60726-Newbie-here-from-kent

As above guys, what's the DIY procedure for this? Is it particarly difficult to do? Cheers Abdul

I'd stick with standard lamps and hid's to be honest, the inpro's look pretty tacky IMO...

Corrados are a difficult car to px, not many people want them unfortunately. Try offering a few of the golf/vento/bora lads on ed38 px's.

Hey fella part of the problem with your add is the terrible pics no offence. Have a look at other adds on ph and use similar angles that capture the whole car. Make sure the lighting is good too.

I wouldn't bother mate...

Doh just noticed the Porsche, looks amazing! Congratulations mate.

Cheers fellas. Considering yours Darren but my plans involve low suspension, wide wheels and body mods of all sorts. Your cars a concourse winner, doesn't make sense to ruin it. N yep these clk's are bargains these days, you can get a nice 55 amg for less then 5k. Pete also considering yours but really want something with a few more mods etc to save me the hassle and ££ lol. I've noticed rados are priced all over the place ATM but after speaking with a few owners that have recently sold up it would seem that 3k can get you a hell of a lot of corrado these days! We shall see :)

Well the Merc just sold at askin price... Corrado time me thinks! :)

Surprised your sellin mate, gorgeous rado. I'd have been interested but I'd just end up ruining it with silly mods lol.

Where are all the nice rado's hiding people? There used to be a selection of nice rado's to buy, I haven't found one yet, makes me sad...

It's a dual4 mate so can only be wired to 8 or 2 ohms. You can't wire it to 2ohms and at 8ohms the sub will be seeing less then 80 rms on music which is useless, I can fart louder. Basic point, you need a new amp, something that'll do about 800-1000 rms at 2ohms to run your sub to its full potential. Then you can bridge the 4 channel and use it on the comps. Some people will say match the amp exactly to your sub so as your w6 is 600 rms get a 600 rms amp but that's just bs as that amp will never make that power on music or at 12-13v generally. I'd suggest something that does about 1/3 more power then what your sub is rated at. Obviously if you never really give your system any stick then around 500rms will do. I personally gave my 10w6v2 1k rms and it did just fine. Right now if your sub is at 8ohms your probably pushing your amp too hard trying to get some decent bass, if it's at 2ohms your will simply go into protect as soon as you crank it. So ultimately you need another amp for the sub but for he one being wire it to 8ohms. Get some pics up of how you've wired it.

Oh lord, when will it give in?!

No probs, pop the sub out the box too so you can check the ohms etc. If it's a dual 4ohm woofer it'll have 4 terminals on it.

Sounds good man, need a proper drive by!

Are your settings on the amp as above? Honestly, ive wired about 20 cars now and I've always done the above as far as settings are concerned etc. The W4 comes in both single 4 ohm coil or dual 4ohm. You need to take the sub out of the box and check which it is. If it's dual 4 then you'll have to wire it to 8ohms bridged as the amp will cut out at 2 ohms bridged. This will sound crap though as you'll have less then 100 rms on tap for the sub, if it's single 4ohm (should see just under 200 rms bridged) and its wired to the amp correctly then you've either got a ground issue amongst others (the above) or your amp needs looking at. You've lost me with the bridged links btw, not sure what you're talking about. Either way, do as above, you can't go wrong. I'm assuming you've wired the tweeters and mids correctly to their crossover?

No probs mate. This is how I'd wire it... RCA front output to front channels for amp and then RCA sub out to the rear channels. If you don't have a sub out Wire the speaker cables as normal for the front + to +, - to - etc then bridge the sub to the rear channels. So use the positive output on one channel and the negative on the other. Now into settings. Set the gain on both the front and rear channels at 1/4.* Now to crossovers, turn all the filters and eq or any loud/bass host features of on the headunit and amp. Ok so now reset them, set the front channels to HPF (high pass filter) and set the frequency to 80hz. Now for the rears; exact same but set the filter to LPF (low pass filter) and once again at 80hz. This should sort out all the problems your having with the sounds comin out the wrong speakers. Now replace your fuse with a 60amp fuse. This should sort out all the issues, pm me for my no and I'll talk you through it of you want. Abdul

A few questions to help diagnose the problem... What guage is your earth and power cable? How much power (rms) does the amp make? Is the sub wired to 4ohms? I'm assuming your components are 4ohm too? What frequencies have you set your crossovers too on the amp? Are you using the correct hpf and lpf?

LOL, car whore! RS4s are awesome! How come you took the 17's off the rado?

Both cars look great with the dark wheels imo. Rado would benefit from something shiny once the weather clears up imo!
