xRHETTx Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 R31's are perfect for beginner installers. I put mine in myself (my old car). The head unit goes in perfect, lots of room for 6 inch splits in the front doors, a good spot for the tweeters up the top. Wiring is pretty easy two. Attached is the location of my front splits.

Fhrx Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 There is always one sure fire way to avoid wasting money on bad and / or useless components; research and planning! You’re off to a great start by asking questions and planning your system before throwing wads of hard earned cash at some dodgy salesman. Anyone planning a system needs to know three main things: 1. Budget 2. Music types listened too 3. Cabin size. Now we know number three, can you shed some light on the other two perchance?

Fhrx Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Wolverine is spot on, the subwoofer isn't just for 'doof'. It plays a very important role in filling out the bottom end of the sound spectrum and creating the foundation for most musical tunes.

predator Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 yeah.. without sub, even with good speakers can sound "tinney" and lacking in definition. My sub is on a bit of a dodgy connection so i notice when it drops out. One day I'll fix the wiring properly... lol.
