Niall's 2000 306 XS A.K.A Craig

[Niall]

Looks good bud bargain buy if you ask me ha ha

Bloke I bought it off is a bit of a wanker though! Haha

[Jonny b]

Ha ha a bit? Complete tool if you ask me ha ha

Sounds ok though for what it is dont it

[Niall]

Not bad. Think I might put it in a non ported box so it's a bit punchier.

[Foxy-jim]

What speakers do you have in the rear?

[Niall]

Focal a1's

[Foxy-jim]

Are the 9x9's?

[4WayDiablo]

Looking goo nail! :-) my wanty your roof lining

[Niall]

Are the 9x9's?

Nope 6.5s. They sound fapping amazing. Just need to do a bit more sound deadening as there is one bass note in one song that still rattles the doors lol

[Foxy-jim]

Is it a pain to fit 6x9's to the phase 3 parcel shelf?

[Niall]

Is it a pain to fit 6x9's to the phase 3 parcel shelf?

Don't fit 6x9s. I don't care what anyone says, there crap for a car like this. Spend the money on a decent speaker setup for the front doors. I've only got focals In the back because I had them spare. Now there all amped, they sound fapping amazing but if you put 6x9s in there, you will just draw the sound stage backwards.

Anyway weather was so nice today I set about cleaning the car then busted out the polishing mop. Only went over the car with a very light cut and polish. Still needs waxing though!


Poor picture quality because the suns shining right at it but it's so shiny compared to how it was. Falling in love with my car again! Haha

Oh and then some dick got in the way of more photo whoring

[Grant]

Looking good Niall. And cant agree more, 6x9's are wank anyway, let alone in a car like the 306.

The speakers are naturally in such a place in 306's, that the sound is predominately towards the front of the car anway. Get the fact that 6x9s are pointless out of the way, and you are left with the sound stage being in the wrong place within the car. Get a decent set of speakers up front, and if budget permits, in the rear and your laughing.

You know you will never get rid of that rattle (if it is the song we were playing ealier?) as it hits nearly every frequency available to speakers lol. 8-)

[4WayDiablo]

I only have 1 working speaker in my car lmao. A 6x9 in the back but its not soo bad still hear my music

[Foxy-jim]

Ah right cheers guys! May just buy a decent set of four then and swap them all over. Mayb amp te whole system too!

What size speakers are in the front and back Niall?

[Matt]

16.5cm speakers in the front. Unsure of the rears though

[Dum-Dum]

Its 165mm front and rear.

And its easy enough to fit them into the oem rear shelf too (depending on the size of the magnets)

[Foxy-jim]

Ok awesome. I will get looking for some. Fancy keeping my whole set up alpine...I'm anal like that!

[Niall]

Shiny bits have started to arrive and still lots more to come!
Head is going for skimming on Saturday and then the real work can begin

[Jonny b]

Getting new valves then bud? Have fun grinding them in by hand lol, the place doing your head would prob do it for next to nowt, your wrists are gonna ache after 16 of the feckers ha ha, probably used to loads of wrist action though

Got new valves. And don't worry. The old mans showing me how to do it all so he can show me on 15 and I'll do 1 lol

Just gone to halfords, got some new pads, fuel and oil filter and 5 litres of Mobil 3000 fully synth oil for....40 quid!
Oil was only 18 quid on trade. Cheaper than the halfords crap!

[Foxy-jim]

You have the right idea Niall haha.

[Jonny b]

Stick the sucker on the base of the valve and go like making fire with twigs for ages on each one with the paste ha ha takes f*cking ages by hand, be worth it in the end though bud

[Niall]

Sod that will stick the sucker on the drill haha

[Jonny b]

You don't want to do that bud!

[Niall]

You don't want to do that bud!

I know. I was messing. It will be bloody hard work and I will be wishing I had a TU engine but will be a good learning curve and hopefully will run much nicer in the end!
