teamSPB Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 Small update time... Got the vinyl for the trimming...backed with 6mm of foam for a spongy feel...im impressed with the material and will be considering it for future installs for sure! I appear to be missing the photo where I have made the cut outs for the subs etc lol The above was just a test fitting and making sure it works as it should as I havent had the chance to try it until now... Got some coilovers for it as well from Cheemo (thanks mate!) Gave them a quick clean There has been alot of posts about fitting these kits to Corsa's so heres how I done it... Clamp spring Remove top nut
teamSPB Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 Remove top bush Dont need this bit Put the top hat on the coilovers This is why you dont need the bit mentioned above Remove this bearing with a long socket/extension/screw driver etc Place in the top hat Put the rubber bush back Put the top mount from the engine side back on Now the lows dont only come from the bass! Currently debating whether or not to go even lower!! Im sure I can get another 5-10mm out of it if not a tad more...Possibly 10-20mm As the front wheels were off, it would have been rude not to have given them a clean...out came the Wolfs Chemicals Deironizer (didnt use any other product but this and a jet wash!) More tomorrow hopefully which will include fitting the rear shocks, starting a new pretty/flush panel, making amp covers, and decide where to put the amps and processor itself! teamSPB
teamSPB Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Posted March 7, 2012 Been a bit quiet updating this recently but all is good! We still currently have the SPL D 1500d running the show but I can tell the subs want more... But to start off where I left off...the coilovers have been fitted fully now and definitely make the car look ALOT better than it did before! The standard battery also had a hard time over the last few years so I have now replaced it with a XS Power D6500 which was a snug fit lol! Battery tray The SPL D midrange amp has been sold and currently replaced with a Mosconi AS300.2 for temp... The new amps are on order and will be here shortly...bass duties will now be powered by a B2 Mono mkII amp (2200wrms), while the front end will be going active with a B2 Audio Quattro 4 channel amp... Ill get some more details of the amps shortly teamSPB
teamSPB Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Posted March 7, 2012 Heres how the car is currently sitting pretty...not bad me thinks! Nice and low! I briefly mentioned earlier we will be using B2 Audio amplifiers in the car now and will change the front setup and go active (still on the Gladen Audio components)... The front amp will consist of a B2 Audio Quattro amp. This is a 4 channel amp with some 'different' power outputs...its been designed for active systems hence the power outputs... Power @ 4 Ohm: 2 x 110 + 2 x 225 watts Power @ 2 Ohm: 2 x 165 + 2 x 310 watts Power @ 1 Ohm: 1 x 330 + 1 x 620 watts We will therefore be feeding the tweeters 110wrms and the midrange 225wrms per side. Atleast we can make full use of the H701 processor! On the bass side, we will be using a B2 Audio Mono mk2. This has just been released and is a set up from the old Mono that was available, power has gone up from 1800wrms to 2200wrms which should power the Chaos' just right! Power @ 4 Ohm: 1 x 700 watts Power @ 2 Ohm: 1 x 1300 watts Power @ 1 Ohm: 1 x 2200 watts It is SERIOUSLY impressive already...I cant wait to see what the system will do when running full power!! Also gives me a chance to try out my DD-1 as well lol!
teamSPB Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 Amps are here.... First up we have the B2 Audio Quattro... Specs: Power @ 4 Ohm: 2 x 110 + 2 x 225 watts Power @ 2 Ohm: 2 x 165 + 2 x 310 watts Power @ 4 Ohm bridged: 1 x 330 + 1 x 620 watts Zero gauge inputs...and the white colour is a damn sight better in real life compared to the pics! It really does grow on you! As you can see, the power outputs are PERFECT for going active...so this is the route I shall be taking with this. The bass amp is a B2 Audio Mono MkII Specs: Power @ 4 Ohm: 1 x 700 watts Power @ 2 Ohm: 1 x 1300 watts Power @ 1 Ohm: 1 x 2200 watts And both of them together Looking forward to having a play with them next week! teamSPB
