GSI24V I.C.E

[GSI24VBONES]

90's car & 90's Alpine set up 

[Teddy]

I used to love alpine gear, nothing else could realy match the sound, like the boot install, still have loads of room.

Very nice GSi24vBones!

Going for the Lotus Carlton/Omega look in the dash per-chance??

Never bought Alpine stuff. Is it really worth the extra wonga??

Well worth it !!!!

ah ! wife not going to be happy ,got the I.C.E bug again from looking at your pics you took of speaker installs,
i'm srill running the standard speakers (no base) ,found myself a pair of old door speakers i had left over from old vaux & have now cut the cones out ready for some ///Alpines 

found some 13cm mid base /17cm 2 way on ebay £30pair

Time to get the MDF out again 

p.s whats the "Lotus Carlton/Omega look in the dash " ? 3 units ?  who needs an ashtray

You've obviously been going the extra mile with this.  Hats off - nice car in *almost* standard trim.

With regards to speakers, the standard Carlton one's are statring to get on in years and was wondering if any other quality cars over the 10 year bracket that are scrap yards, that may have higher quality speakers that may fit with out any mods at all?

Could try some from an Omega /vectra/new astra ? or you can get some cheap alpines/pioneer for £20-£30

I have JBLs all round and they sound great.

With respect, standard VX speakers have always been pretty good sound, volume and bass wise, however the cones are still made of fibre so they aren't that great.

A small tip here - you'll need to get speaker adapters for the front doors. Vectra ones fit perfectly.

[carltonman]

Thanks folkes. Mate has a Vectra for scrap. Get them off that.

Dead easy to fit a PS2 in your car !!!!!!!  did it in under an hour
No need for a 12v to240v inverter, open ps2,remove 240v power supply board,
4 pins sticking up from main board that power fits, pins 1-2 12v red + pins 3-4 12v- black,
fit fuse in line conect to 12v+earth 
slots tightly in to the glove box 
i made a hole in the back for the wires & fan
ps2 red & white phono leads straight to the amps
