You dare boyo

I'll get the boys after you hehe

Ok, it's yours.

I wouldn't know where to start with doing it anyway! Scared of ruining the sub...

[Danny_California]

Bit of paint cant harm it surely, as long as all the undercarriage and terminals are covered/masked.

Got my 4ohmers today, first impressions pretty decent, while their not the prettiest of subs the look very well ut together. Hooked up to my home sound system they sound really good, after messing with the equalizer to get a purer bass signal they really bounce! The excursion on these little gems is really something! It can take the abuse all day long by the looks of it aswell.

well you will get yours installed before me as im in the process of restoring mine so the interior stuff is last on the long long list of jobs to do,, i found the same with mine they really do bounce well for such a small speaker. what are you doing with yours,, parcel shelf,, box enclosure, under seats or rear bins?

[Danny_California]

I'm shelving them, the boot will hopefully make an excellent enclosure, given that it should be totally sealed. These things are capable of infinite baffle anyway though, so its not a big issue really. Gonna have to figure out how to make my numberplate stop vibrating though! In the garage with the boot up and music going it rattles lol

[THedooBZ]

is your numberplate screwed on or bonded??? what i have done to mine to eliminate it as mine is screwed is to put strips of self adhesive foam on the back of it so it is cushioned,, the stuff i use i get from work as we use it on electrical cabinets but i beleive u can get it from the diy as draught excluder strip or similar..

[Danny_California]

Since my front one has come off anyway, I'll be getting that stuff asap to stick it back on. Masking tape isnt really that great at it

[M44K TS]

So, th 6" ones fit directly into the parcel shelf with no cutting or anything?

I may have to purchase some as audio is on the list of things to do when i rebuild the interior

[Collin]

M44 - You might have to make up an MDF ring to lift them a little. I haven't tried them in the rear shelf.

Danny - The boot is SO not sealed it's not funny. Ignoring all the holes in the floor (not the rust ones!) the sides of the rear seat have at least a 1 inch hole into the cabin which would need to be sealed.

Although they run IB they sound pants without running them at high RMS when the engine is running. At least, they do on mine with a Play Mini Twin DTM (on an SPi Cooper)

hum...does anyone care to help me ship a couple to sweden? *cute puppy*
What would shipping be?

They dont reply on messages sent with ebay, and they are more expensive at their webpage (about £20 )

Would be most appreciated

Email Peter direct from the website - I know he can do you a decent deal on the price and will be able to quote for shipping too. He's the same guy that runs the eBay website. He normally responds from the website within 24 hours.

[hylsan]

Ill give it a go

edit: Just noticed I did last friday and he still hasnt replied.

Just got mail from him, after a second mail.

Hum, wonder if they are that good, £40 each and another £50 for shipping. total £130 for a pair...
still cheaper than the 6.5" I was going to buy(SQ6 from Italian TEC) but...

Think I'll wait a bit longer 'till someone more have them up and running in a mini

Does the miniworld discount code work off all items on the site or just soundproofing items?

i got mine today (YAY!), havent wired them up yet, but they do look really nicely made. the idea was to use these in place of the standard parcel shelf speakers, as i have components up front, but how the hell are they going to drop in the rear shelf? (V reg Mpi) as the magnets just about squeeze into the hole. i dont want to trim the metal if i can help it...
the other place is under the rear seat, but theyre more likely to get damaged there, and i'll need to make up another speaker board
