Title: Thumbs up to Evolution
Post by: Bird on July 07, 2014, 11:21:23 AM
Another top bloke from the 4um...

After a few days discussion on a new audio setup for the GU to replace the stock speakers which had seen better microseconds it stuff was ordered and ready for install.

Within 10 mins of our first PM I could tell the man knows his shizzle, and watching him working really did prove I'm a top judge of character..

Short journey up the Hume to his house, and move one Eco out the front then open it up and inspect (VERY nice unit and quick to erect!) and he was rippin' trims off one side, while his mate attacked the other side before I'd finished me coffee - installation under way!

His attention to detail is as high end as his addition to Redbull! Doesn't **** around with cheap crap and the result shows.. Even the wiring kit was high end..  :cheers:

Speakers fitted in to replace the stocky's exactly as described, and are LOUD AND EXTREMELY CLEAR!!... Metallica used to start fluffing at around 28 on the volume, now it goes to 50 on the radio, which is way too loud to sit in the car with and is crystal clear!

Thanks for your time Nick, and beers when your down in a few weeks, and bring that box on the shelf for fitting too :D

Word yo.


Looks vaguely like this ...

Once I buy a baseball cap with the peak on the back, I'm ready for Chapel St or Kings X crusin' with the fooly sik VL's with 38inch rims n Rexes on rubber bands on Saturday nights

Thankfully we will never know.. They use some new technology that Evo explained to me, but it was too high tech for me..
It doesn't allow **** music to be played through them...  (http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd234/cremo1/Smileys/devil.gif)(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd234/cremo1/Smileys/devil.gif)(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd234/cremo1/Smileys/devil.gif)

Speakers are all in the stock position behind the door grills - you wouldn't know they weren't stock to look at, and they are using std screw holes already in the doors rear and spacers front from old speakers.

The only modification he had to do was file the lip off the factory plastic spacer (~1 mm) on the fronts.
Rears were direct fit - both done in under 10mins.
Amp lives under passengers seat.
Wiring goes down the passengers side channel, and down transmission tunnel to the amp.

Only other thing to do is replace the antenna on the radio, and figure out the not going down when the radio is off and USB/CD is playing, but that was rooted before Evo touched me.
