ordered on the 16th, received on the 20th

(it's a few posts ago in this thread!)

you going red or blue?

by **Wildhound** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 1:20 am

I don't know actually. I had thought blue until I saw the red ones in the picture and now I'm undecided. I love how you've eliminated the green ones by default!

Actually I'll go blue, since yours are red.

isn't your stereo red though. red might be better?

by **Wildhound** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 11:34 am

My stereo is red but I'll be replacing it soon enough along with the speakers.

by **colm_mcm** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 1:32 pm

first dibs on your standard rear 6*9's if you're replacing them!

by **Wildhound** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:38 pm

I am replacing them and you can have them. Could be a few weeks though.

nice one! what have you in mind, audio wise?

by **Wildhound** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 6:44 pm

Nothing too exciting, just something a bit beefier.

I was looking at some 80W Kenwood 6x9s today with front speakers to match. But then a friend told me he'll be getting some cost price ICE stuff sometime this week (end of line stuff) so I'll wait and see what happens there.

Previous owner took all the speakers with him!

I'm guessing when you say non amber that means they flash amber but don't look amber behind the lense ie. fried egg look. if thats the case get yourself some led replacement bulbs of the net just look clear but flash amber.

Watch them non-amber bulbs for the nct, my previous car failed cause I had non-standard repeaters fitted. Mind you, they were purple.....

by **colm_mcm** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 11:07 pm

the ones we're talking about are either amber bulbs with a silver coating that shine amber when lit,

or LED's which have clear casings and light up amber.

personally I prefer the way LED's flash. much sharper. (don't know how to describe it! bulbs fade on and off a bit, LED's are instant)

colm :

are the mx5 repeaters a strait fit or do they need modifying?

by **colm_mcm** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 2:04 am

they need slight modification, those ones from ultimate styling need very little done to them . CJ is selling a pair he hasn't used.
