@phil - yoyo mate i wasnt pointing any fingers in your direction at all!! - just so happens you were the last person to post on the topic when i sent that fast reply!! anyhoo, your argument is correct anyway and i wasnt disputing it, its rather turned out quite technical -
happy b-day!! what age do you fair?? lol.its not gentleman like to ask but thought i'd give it a go hope its a good one

in my opinion mate with cars ive worked on - for quality and price - i would suggest vibe for anything from simple upgrades to all out installs - cover most sizes too check out there site - www.vibeaudio.co.uk probz be lots of companies stock their stuff were you are. ive found there stuff top notch - had a prob with a set of dodgy amps i got replaced time after time, but other than that spot on. Only my experience and opinion though good luck

the thing is i am gonna have to rip them out and build door cards for my new speakers if they had standard door pods would be much easier, much just means a bit more time and money hate crappy speakers located in crappy spaces to be honest i am an ICE-man.lol.I like to have a decent system ;)

yup mate, as Gary above says, just a case of taking out the screws (usually phillips/starheads) and popping off the plastic, then its usually 4 tiny jewellers screws to loosen on the metal casing, again usually phillips heads. fair enuff for the set up mate - personally I frown upon having 6x9's.lol. ask any purist and they will tell you always seperate components are the best get yourself a decent powered amplifier with a decent frequency response if you are gonna run those 6x9's though...alwys match the power(rms) and the impedance - usually 4 or 8 Ohms nowadays... and £50 for a parcel shelf is not too bad mate, from a dealer over here, you could be paying double that, but to be honset even £50 is overpriced... Good luck buddy and keep us up to date will you?? Cheers

dont know who else is gona reply buddy so here you go... dont own a glanza yet but same principles apply - its fairly easy *its always advisable to disconnect the negative from the battery before you commence anything to do with electrics/stereo - make sure not to 'short' it with the positive, or else big sparks and boom boom *take out stereo - this is the most difficult part of the process, theres two main types of stereo releasing depending on the stereo - ISO keys and European keys - check out this website - http://www.easy-caraudio.co.uk/shop/instal...nit-stereo.html obviously once its released its a case of sliding the head unit out *disconnecting the old stereo - at the back of the stereo you will probably see some wiring loom/block - this is called the ISO block, should be fairly easy to disconnect. Once released, make sure the aerial (if one) is disconnected, this is seperately wired and is usually thicker. Depending on the glanza you may not have this ISO block, but im assuming since you have an aftermarket stereo already, this should be in place. *depending on the new stereo you are fitting, you may have to buy an additional connector, as the newer headunits have the multiplex wiring and so on. *Its simple, just connect up the new one, and slide back into place With regards to head units - I have the Pioneer AVH-P5900DVD touchscreen - these are a quality bit of kit, but the release mechanism for the cd's/dvd's tends to go on them just after the years warranty is up Go for a top notch head unit I always say - no point in having a cracking sound system with a crappy head unit!! Check sampling rates and frequency responses. The higher the sampling rate - usually measured in kHz, the better. My particular Head Unit has a freq response of 5Hz to 44kHz - obviously the human ear can not hear all these frequencies, but it means the harmonics of these frequencies are accentuated - i.e. harmonics of 5 Hz would be 10Hz, 15Hz, 20Hz etc etc thus meaning these frequencies as they go up become more audible... If you want to connect amplifiers and whatnot, you should be looking at the 'pre-outs' and how many they have - 3 pre-outs generally means able to hook up 3 separate amplifiers without the need for splitting anything etc. etc. Also the signal output from the pre-outs (measured in Volts, V or in Millivolts, mV) should match the preamp signal going into your amplifier of choice... Check the power output from your head unit too...most of these fly manufacturers will quote something like 4 x 50 Watts!!, wow sounds good yeah?? not really, these are the MAX figures being qouted and what we really should be looking at is RMS - or Root Mean Square figures, as this will tell you how mcuh the head unit will run constantly... MAKE SURE THIS MATCHES YOUR NOMINAL SPEAKER HANDLING - you dont want to blow any car speakers to begin with... this should be enough to get you started hope this helps mate...
