Headrest SpeakersClearwater CWC-3D
I wondered why there were little holes in the leather on the headrests.
Then when I was cleaning the seats I saw the zipper.
WTF THERE ARE 2 SPEAKERS INSIDE EACH HEADREST?!?!?!
Well 1 is missing and the wires are cut, but still how hilarious
So my dad bought the clearwater set when he was in America, luckily my car already had the wiring in place so it only took like 10 mins to swap the new ones in.
Stereo!
They look abit wonky in the pic but there it a plastic cover that helps to hold them in.
Alot of people have said these are a waste of time. You obviously havnt been in an NA that has them, because they are great.
(I will get to all the various settings later)
AmplifierPower Acoustic BAMF 1250
All good music has bass. To appreciate this you need a subwoofer. To power the sub(s) you need an amplifier.
Simple yeah? except for the lack of room in our little 5's...
I WAS NOT going to loose ANY room whatsoever in the boot, and mounting the amp behind the driver/passenger seat is wayyy too visible, My goal was to keep everything hidden and stock looking.
Where does this leave?
The spare tyre!
I will try to explain using pics
This is how it sits from the top
I made a bracket out of wood that is curved on 1 side, exactly matching the groove in the metal space saver.
It has rope handles to help lift it out because the amp gets hot.
This is how it is actually secured in. Tie town straps go through the wheels stud holes and go back up through the wood.
I also dremmel'd a groove which sits over the lip of the wheel, and screwed a wooden curved buffer that sits in the 'dish' of the wheel.
Basically you put the spare tyre inlace and screw it down as usual.
Then pull the straps through the holes and pull them really tight so the amp doesn't bounce around.
The spare tyre has abit of swivel, but the amp doesn't move at all.
The good thing is if I ever need to access the spare tyre, i can just undo the straps, lift it out and use the spare tyre as usual!
How it sits from the side
There is about 70cm excess of each cable, so i don't have to undo anything to take the amp out, which is all neatly bundled up and wrapped in abit of foam.
Obviously I painted the wheel and the bracket satin black so its all super stealthy in the boot.
SubwoofersJBL GT0804 (x2)
400 rms... and they go way low. 30Hz low.
But where to put them?
Not really a fan of shoved in the boot, takes up too much room and the only way you know when the bass drops is the amount of boot lid rattle
No thanks.
That parcel shelf doesn't look like its doing too much just sitting there...
But in all seriousness I wanted them completely hidden, this is not about "FulLY Sikkk HeKtiC Bro0Oo subwooferrrzzzz" I genuinely wanted a full range of sound, super stealth style.
I used the template supplied with the subs for the hole size, but it still probably took 3 hours to measure and adjust exactly where to cut the holes. I used a jigsaw with a crazy sharp metal blade to cut 2x 8" holes out. Had to cut abit of the oem sound deadening mat.
The parcel shelf it by no means flat or sealed, so I used contact adhesive to glue strips of neoprene where there are channels in the metal etc.
I used more dynamat around the sub holes and to seal off the gaps. Also had to cut the oem rubber mat.
Small grille for protection
Carpet sits back over the top so you wouldn't even know they are there
Awwwwww yeah you know you're jealous
850 posts on this forum and I'm still saving up my cash. But I'll get there, and then I'll rip out my stereo because who needs a sound system when you're in a sports car??
Mitch can attest to this! 2x 8" subs is quite a lot for such a small car, and they are right behind your head, so there is a lot of bass, and no rattles because dynamat is awesome.
