Hey guys,

Just a few questions about setting up some splits. I have some Alpine 176A 6 1/2" speakers. After a bit of stuffing around i have managed to mount the speakers fine but need a little advise on a few other things.

i am after ideas on were to mount the actual tweeter box. Have people mounted on the inside of the door or is it in the cabin main point is that their is not alot of room taking into account the window takes up a fair chunk when wound down...

also does anyone have a DIY guide to pulling wire through the gromets in the door eg were the rest of the cabling comes through as i am a little bit stuck on this part :rofl:

anyways hope this makes some sence please let me know if it doesnt.

G'day Leech,

Those gromet things SUCK !! From what I could make out, they are a plug either side of where it goes into the car (not the door side), so you have to get the plug out and feed the wires through the spare holes !! I gave up after a while and just ran them beside it.

Hmm, not sure about space inside the door, I was running fully active - no passive cross over :rofl:

My crossovers are in the doors.

Just cable tie them to something so they don't rattle and don't sit int the bottome of the door sill.

Depends where you 've put your tweeters, you only need to do this if your tweeters are mounted in the door. Otherwise stick em behind the dash and just run the midbase feed to the driver in the door.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
