Audio Newb Question...

[kona1991]

Right.. lets starts simply... iso connector??

can someone explain?

Also.. im looking to install some speakers in my parcel shelf, is this an acheivable job for a 'newb'?
finally.. i was wondering if there is something i can get that will allow me to easily detach the wiring so i can take the shelf out? im a mountain biker so my bikes often in my car.

cheers guys.

iso connector you dont need one if your fiting a aftermarket radio, fitting 6x9s in the parcel shelf is easy with some time and effort if you get all the templates in the exact place you want you speakers it is usually all good form there i would draw around the template drill a hole straight through on the line big enough to fit a jigsaw in and follow the lines, as soon as that is sorted you will need to drill very small hole for the screws make sure the holes are very straight else you speakers will look nooby lol like my first attempt
then drop you speaker in screw them down sorted oh usually you can pull the wire straight off if you want o remove the parcel shelf

cheers, thats what i was thinking... now ive just got to do it...
also i think i read somewhere that you should run the power cable down one side or something?

[dudedodd]

erm its up to you tbh you can run theleft wire down the left side to the left speaker and same opposite so you dont get mixed up or make it simple and put them down one side, when i put mine down one side i got confused i had to put tape around one of the wires so i knew what was what.

just take you time theres never any rush lol and they will look amazing

final quick question, you are actually almost a corsa god mate.

My stereo doesnt turn off when ignigtion is turned off... i need to swap the red and yellow wires or something?
are these the lil ones that go into the adapter thing that plugs into the headunit??

cheers dude

[dudedodd]

yeah there the ones that plug into the head unit they pull apart from each other, then connect them back up as red to yellow and yellow to red to bad my radio doesnt work lol

[kona1991]

yay.. after a bit of fiddling, i managed to swap the wires.. now it turns of with the removal of the key.. which is all good

[dudedodd]

[kona1991]
