  1. again, it goes back to the age old saying.... I wise man once said... Good kit will sound pants if the installation is not 100% My advice, save your cash. Buy lots of dynamat extreme deaden the doors, the roof, the floor and then listen to the speakers. You will be amazed. THEN... Buy a new head unit and you will be astounded. THEN THEN... buy comps and an amp (no sub) you will be blown away by pure sonic bliss! IMO - but I know nothing LOL
  2. Power delivery is more important than power in reserve. Caps serve a purpose, however to get anything remotley useful from the you will need 10farad plus.. .5, 1f caps are a waste of money and on the market being sold to people who hear things down the pub and think, this is just what I need.
  3. Hey chap. A few questions you will need to ask yourself. 1) Why do you want 6x9s? 2) What are you trying to acheive from your system Mykez's advise is wrong! your amp is a standard to channel. From the picture you have posted it shows you have bridged the channels together, in essence turning your 2 channel amp into a single channel amp. Bridging increase the power out and in the case is the right thing to do especially when running a sub. However and this is very important. DO NOT run a sub of the first channel and the 6x9s of the second channel. Not only will your 6x9s run in mono, they can however be damaged. Your amp has filters on it. These are designed to filter the frequencies that are not required. In this case all you amp will be amplifying is the subsonic frequencies that your sub needs. This filter applies to both channels. So if you do as Mykez suggest you will be giving your 6x9s sub bass! They will hardly play any music, and will likely blow after a very short time. My advice... Keep your amp and sub separate. Take the 6x9s back to the shop get a refund. Money from the 6x9s goes towards another amp to run the front speakers Car audio is all about experience, if you do not believe what I am saying, take this thread, post your question on www.talkaudio.co.uk, post the replies and see how many people agree with what I am saying. It is your money, so you make your choices...

  12. The RS shows are so yesterday anyway, the general atmosphere is like.. "ohh you DON'T own a cosworth!?" Go away you mere mortal... Then "ohhh so you own a Sapphire Cosworth (snigger) well this is the Escort Cosworth area" Go away you mere moral Then "ohhhh cute Escort Cosworth, but we all know the RS500 is the only real Cosworth" Go away you mere moral... And... don't get me started on concourse... spotty retarded judge "your car anit original, you paint is .000005mm heavier on the front bumper than the bonnet, must be a ringer... you fail and loose points!!!!" Then on to the circuit, you get S2 turbos everywhere, cossies everywhere some driving like complete idoits and then some chap turns up in a Evo 6, cains every RS car on the circuit, buggers off and the comments are "Jap crap" "What a w@nker" "Can't drive for sh1t" Seriously don't loose any sleep over it. If you want self induldged people around you who think they are "posh" then pay your money join the RSOC. For the rest of us "morals" i will find other shows to go to... Ford RS arnt they only cars that exist and being a car enthusast I will gladly go elsewhere... And as Mr Jerry Springers final comment would be... ITS AN RS SHOW, NOT THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE WORLD, GET OVER IT, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND EACH OTHER. GOODNIGHT. sorry substitute "moral" for mortal.. LOL - FAIL!
