[A362 TTU]

Hey everyone! This mini is my first car, and seen as i love music - i wanted to get a nice system going.
Pre install pics:



The install has been a long time in planning and preparing. It is built out of kit that has come from Ruckus (see here: http://www.theminifo...howtopic=187782 ) - So we can call this a joint build .

Onto the spec list

• Head Unit: Blaupunkt RDM 127 New York - retro cool!

• Components: Rockford Fosgate FNQ 3614

• Pods: Ruckus's Aperiodic Enclosures

• Amp: Rockford Fosgate 240x4 - Active crossovers

Its all in and done now - sounding awesome

"Where are the pics" i hear you say. For now you will have to wait .

At the right point i have pics to post of bits you haven't even seen mate

[A362 TTU]

Finally!!!. I have some pictures, not the best (low light!) but i have some .

So here they are:






The head unit has this awesome 'Auto EQ' feature, that uses a mic to change the EQ for each channel to improve the sound!.

Any questions, please feel free to fire away!

How did you wire those foot well lights in? I was thinking the otherday it would be nice to have some light there

Sorry slow replys folks!

To be honest a combination of working in the dark and everything being a mess led to an abscence of photography. If anyone want to see anything specific i will try and get info/pics up - not too sure what people want to read.

Simply. I took a (fused) ignition live - Put it through to a switch and wired the LED's in parallel off the switch - grounding them to screws. I didnt bother with using a relay as the current draw is looowwww.

If that dont make sense i can draw a diagram?

Hey . It's nice to here from you - not many sprites about atall. Mines far from original - but it's still a sprite!. - + I have original seats and wheels up the shed .

I look after it as best as I can on my budget - but if there was more £££ i would certainly be doing more for the little beast.

Mines not fully original! Different head etc but all of the interior is original and only just hit 52000 miles. Been in the family since new
