Radio

Fitted new radio,front and back speakers and a sub at the weekend, finished off today with the radio surround to neaten it off - sounds nice now didn't want it mind blowing but my ford smax has a good radio in it and wanted the jimny to sound the same if not better (which it does now).

what brand speakers did you fit Daniel, and can you show a pic of the mounting for the back ones. (got this to do on mine when it arrives)

Paul.

The holes are already there once you take the rear panels off you can see them I fited edge speakers 150w 4 way about £17.00 from halfords for a pair 10cm fit perfectly, I normally go for more expensive type pioneer etc but I don't need them for the base the sub does that I turn the base off or right down on the head unit so its just the treble and mids coming out of them I don't know how they would sound normally if your not adding a sub mybe look into a better set but it works for me...... The rear speaker cables in my jimny were on the passenger side loom so I ran wires across to the drivers rear speaker its a bit time consuming taking the seats out etc but worth it I think. Oh and take off the sponge effort on the reverse of the rear panels, I think there is a link or picture on here showing you exactly what to do.

type it into Google and the picture comes up of someone explaining it on this forum

Hope this helps
Cheers

Thanks Daniel,

I suspected there would be a position for them, as I did the same to my Vitara's. I'll look into the fitting procedure.

cheers.
Paul.

Have a look here Paul

There are also has a few pages at the start about it, I fitted mine a few weeks ago and once you do you'll be amazed how easy it is to do a the Jimnys are easy to pull apart.

Do you have a picture of where you mounted the sub Daniel30?

Cheers

It's in a box in the boot well what you can call a boot can't fit the dog in now and the Mrs wonders why I take her smax when I take him out for a walk now ...... Can't have the jimny boot messed up now can I ? :laugh:
