rhys1344 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 This build looks awesome! The guys seem to know how to tear apart a car I was thinking how to replace the bose sub with an aftermarket one, and this looks like a great idea! Quote
glrnet Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Remind me NOT to follow Adrian in Wales, this will be louder than his exhaust Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 Weeeeeeeeeell, that did not last long, on the way home, after about 45 minutes, the subwoofer died. Went back to AUTOAUDIO on Saturday morning, Mayur confirmed. A new subwoofer speaker will be installed on Monday, but I'm considering a better sub like Orion or Morel, although the whole setup was according to specs. Probably just a bad product. Last few photos from installation are here: Quote
Lexx Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Sweet Jesus that looks loud! Serious Kudos for that install Quote
glrnet Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Sorry to hear that Adrian, hope they sort it quickly for you Quote

Chris`I Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Sorry to hear it went pop a bit prematurely matey, that sucks. At least using pro guys its on their head to sort it or at least prove it wasnt them. Did that sub not massively rattle the speaker grille? Its not the most rigid bit of plastic covering in the world, although I guess the metal plate that holds the sub cone is quite substantial so may stop most of the rattling before it reaches the grille.

un1eash Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 It'll give you a nice back massage when up and running again. Whats the volume of the sub box? Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 It'll give you a nice back massage when up and running again. Whats the volume of the sub box? I reckon its 11... Quote

NaanH Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Octet that looks like an awesome set-up there mate. Have they managed to replace the sub yet? im looking to get a zed in the next 6 months, and will more than likely get an audio install done. Auto Audio is a couple of miles from me too How did you negotiate using your own equipment? Did they mind? how did it affect the price of labour? would it be ok to give a complete break down of costs ( i would understand if you didnt want to though). The craftmanship does look amazing! Pretty sure that dynamat will make a world of difference too. Its reassuring seeing what a great job they did - and fills me with confidence for when i take mine there Stealth set-ups FTW! Quote
taras Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Adrian, watch out for that much bass in your back!! Might cause serious health issues can even crack your teeth Still won't be as loud as A5's Bang & Olufsen come in for a lil competition Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 Few months later, not the happiest bunny as they say Some feedback about AUTOAUDIO's workmanship: Many plastic bits rattle inside the car, although the volume level is at 10 out 40 The subwoofer box itself rattles The subwoofer speaker is touching the plastic BOSE cover, damaging the speaker The driver's window glass is banging against something inside the door when lowered Took the car back today to have all problems sorted, will come back once I collect the car again.

Chris`I Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Sounds like quite a few schoolboy mistakes there, which is a bit worrying Quote
Wasso Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Bit of a thread revival, but well and truly deserved. Had a listen at Adrian's system in Wales, absolutely cracking. The system has a lot of power, depth and clarity and yet only running a small 4 channel amp for the entire system. Beautiful sound mate, well sourced and great quality. Just looking to go shopping Edited May 20, 2013 by Wasso Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Holly thread revival, one year old Thanks, good luck with your build! Quote
Wasso Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Holly thread revival, one year old Thanks, good luck with your build! But it was a worthy one, and I'm surprised you've not shown it off a little more because its the best I've heard in a Zed by a long shot! Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I did not want to make Buster cry like a baby, although he deserves it! Edited May 20, 2013 by octet Quote
shire350Z Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Ill second that ian, it's a cracking setup something else I'm now looking at!! Somebody needs to sort out that music collection though Edited May 20, 2013 by shire350Z Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Damn it! Wish I had listened to it. Listened to Dave's and so far I've decided on a hertz mille upgrade on all speakers bar the sub, which will be a jl shallow sub in the stock Bose sub position. All powered by pioneer double din connected to a bit one. Quote
wizard Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Sounds sick, I heard it. I just got my ICE installed last week and it rattles on some tunes. I think I'm gonna need to get this sorted as well. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 Time for a refresh? http://www.phoenixgold.com/products/amplifiers/THEONE/product.php?productID=36 http://www.morelhifi.com/car-audio/ultimo-sc-subwoofer Quote
