TV touch screen ?

Re: TV touch screen ?

You can buy a kit and like jj said you will have to cut the cables but there is no reason why you can't keep the spare cable for future upgrades

Plus you will need 2 RCA cables (better flexibility) I think the kit only has one (amp can run 1 I think)

IMO cable is cables electrons are not very clever so don't know the difference between value and finest cables, decent shielded RCA cables offer better protection from interference, then as long as u buy cables the correct thickness you will be fine, just sort out the other bits first then get the cables etc after.

There are many ICE pro's that use welding cable for power, make their own RCA etc so brand is not really important.

Oh ok that's cool but yeah I'll get the cables last looks like I'll have to put a spare kenwood single headunit in.

Then save up the cash for the pioneer double din :-( boo !!! So hopefully the kenwood radio is ok for the time being !!

Well guys I no what I want now thanks to all that have feed me information/knowledge, so I'm pretty sure on putting it together the hardest bit out of this is to do the tweeters build but we're see on where I decide to put them !

So again thanks to all who put up with me and gave me good input :-)

Re: TV touch screen ?

The best way to place the tweeters is the crudest I'm afraid.

Make the wire to the tweeter very long to start with, then u put blue tax on the back and you put in different places until you get the sound YOU like, then you worry about installing and looks.

For example you might decide it sounds best on top of the dash, so you need to think about mounting them like mine or you might like them where the mirror is. So you make your own builds or go scrapyard to find a vehicle that had the upgrade tweeters and use those mounts. Don't just stick them anywhere

I'm glad you are close if you want a hand fitting it I'll see what I can do, however it's not hard as long as you plan, read and follow the many guides out there.

Re: TV touch screen ?

Oh that's a good idea with the blue tac and yeah I'll try work out where sounds good for me is it that the tweeters ment to be close to your ears as possible ?

Yeah thanks for that worry about installing lol I'm not to bad with my hands defo don't want to do a bodge job ! Also do think it is worth a pop to a few local scrap yards not just to see if they got the tweeter upgrades just to get spare plastics just incase of error lol

And thanks very much for the offer mate I should be ok but if all fails I might call upon you ;-)

Not sure when I'll be able to get all bits but will try to update on the thread as much and as soon as I can cheers

Re: TV touch screen ?

disconnect the 2 x clear connectors and reconnect red to red and yellow to yellow

normally you have to swap them (iirc) but if thats not working try it the correct way round

Ok I'll give it a go later when I get home thanks hopefully it will work as haven't got the cash for the double din yet ;(

On a separate note "PLACEMENT" question can the crossovers be placed any where can the go near the amp and are there cables that. Shouldn't be near one another etc ?

Don't put power cables near speaker cables and make sure earth cables are very well earthed.

I put my crossovers up behind the dash.
