Can't break it, won't have the space in a few weeks, the drive is coming up and existing garage coming down to build me a nice big garage.

Right I've had people interested who've not actually come forth and taken away so what with having had enough I'm open to offers of whoever wants to come round and take it before it heads to the scrap yard.

Yup it is UK standard N/A.

Due to a rather nasty list from the man at the MOT place I can't afford to keep my 2 on the road so it's time for it to go to someone who can, or who has the time/patience to break it for parts. It's a Mica Blue 1991 Rev 1 MK2: http://www.sesq.co.uk/uploads/switchblade/mr2.jpg No modifications, even...

I've done a search and no-one seems to have described what I'm getting so here goes. I've got a MK2 Rev1 NA, and for some reason when driving at around 40MPH on a few certain roads I seem to get an intermittent squeal from the driverside of the car somewhere behind me. It does the same in different ...

You should have gotten the adaptor lead with it when you bought it. You'll probably have to go to Alpine and ask for a replacement ISO harness adaptor.

Have you tried over at www.talkaudio.co.uk see if anyone there may be able to point you at a decent replacement part?

On mine there's only one running to the battery for some reason. Haven't looked at the alt end yet tbh, was just wondering where it ran so if the sun decided to come out at some point this side of christmas (unlikely at this rate ) I could look at running a fatter cable alongside.

Cheers Steve.

Yeah I realise it's a bit strange buying a car like an MR2 and then weighing it down with a large system, but to me the sounds are as important as the car, the fact that it looks good and still performs well with a system weighing about as much as a passenger (possibly more if I actually weigh it) i...

The Image Dynamics are just mid-bass units. There are ID tweeters and horns to go with them but I've not owned either.

Sorry mate the 235s are 5.25" the others are 6.5".

Caps don't work, period, they don't help at all. The voltage drop on cable that size at the current I'm drawing is enough to be noticable on the car electrical system. Assuming the system is drawing less than a qurater of it's fused rating on music we are looking at a ~40amp draw, a bit more on tran...

Nope the power is provided by the alt, once you get to a point where the power is provided by the battery it's gone too far. If the cable wasn't the bottleneck why would an upgrade be the first advised upgrade path before looking at uprated alternators etc. Because it makes a difference, even in a c...

Stock cabling is designed for the power expected to be needed by the car. The stock cable is only about 8awg, and running the length of the car is nowhere near large enough when you are pulling higher currents without getting voltage drop. Upgrading the battery won't stop the voltage drop, just give...

Right can anyone give me some hints to where the aforementioned cable is routed to make my job of tracing and replacing somewhat easier. The stock cable is far too small for the power I'm pulling for my ICE install and need to upgrade it to something suitable (read as welding cable). Would there be ...

Let it dry off and using a spare battery see if it powers up. If it does and doesn't go into protection or release any of the magic smoke then you should be ok to try connecting it in the car. RE: the 6x9s do the cones move freely when you push them and is there a scraping sound, if the first gets a...

I've not been on this site for the best part of a year, kinda forgetful, so thought I'd post an update on my SQ install. The source is a PC running digital out into a Nakamichi DAC101. I then use a pair of Audiocontrol EQTs to EQ, then the signal is split to a Helix HXA1000QX to power a pair of Crys...

MKII

Helix HXS235 - I believe 12mm baffle
Helix RS6.3 - mid needs a 36mm baffle, or with light surgery to the door you can get away with 18mm, no hope of tweet fitting in stock location mind.
Image Dynamics CX62 - magnet just fits through door hole, again 36mm baffle to fit without surgery.

Not sure what to call it but the bit under my sub box a-la: http://www.thesoundlab.co.uk/MR2diary/carputer/installed/PICT0006t.JPG After a loving coming together of my doors a jigsaw and a tin of hammerite I've now got midbass in the stock door locations, so want to downsize the box behind each seat...
