Comparison, new and old speakers.

Kevwood

I did some reading on Helix pro/comp series, sounds like nice stuff. How's the audio difference? Night and day I imagine eh?

clk63DK

Hey all,

The setup is 2½ way. The front 2way system run as a normal 2 way, and the extra woofer run to app. 200Hz to give the extra punch.

Sound differance :-)

OH YES! There is night and day, the 4 Helix woofers punch more bas than the stock woofer in the rear parcel shelf, ane the tonality is not only more rich and compleate, but also much more stable at any sound level.

This was one major upgrade to the car!

mikata

Like night and day mate.
The audio is crisp and has alot of depth. The bass is insane and I haven't changed the woofers in the back yet.

I can crank up the volume without worrying if i'm going to blow the speakers or not(I was woried about that with the stock speakers).

Thinking of getting this as well, just to tweak the sound/speakers to perfection:

What do you think Kev? Should I go for the amp?
I'm already pleased with the sound quality so far

mikata

Thanks for chiming in Chris and for the short review! I promised a review of the speakers but I'm not a car audio tech guy
All I can say is that the sound is way better and has more depth.

Kevwood

That's awesome man, I'm really happy for you! And as for the amp, he'll ya, go for it! Don't don't anything half assed

If I ever get all my bloody pending projects done I'd love to do another sound system but I'm getting a little old for that now I guess.

mikata

Haha Thanks for the advice mate! I'm getting the amp!

That Kleeman SC is way more interesting than a new sound system for your car

Kevwood

It IS a new sound system for my car

mikata

Hell yes
With that beast I'd rather hear the SC whine all day long than radio music

mikata

Hey guys, I finally had some time to pull the trigger on a mod this week, I just wanted to let you know the car is going to the exhaust shop on thursday for quad exhaust setup


The exhaust shop are the ones that will cut the bumper, so fingers crossed they won't mess up the bumper. There aren't any body shops near me that could cut the bumper for me.

mikata

Well this is a bad day. Took the car to the exhaust shop about 30 min ago just to be told that they we're 3 cars behind and didn't have time for mine...
I was going to tell them to F off since I had taken time of from work to get this done, but since it's the only shop in my area that will do this work I had to reschedule a new time and give them an angry look. Til wednesday!!

Kevwood

I'd like to see that angry look of yours Mike, I think you're too nice of a guy to pull one off thats very convincing

Seriously though, waiting is the name of the game on this 209 board it seems

mikata

Lol yeah you're probably right But I did get angry inside though
I've been really stressed lately and just have this thrown in my face on top of everything else I have to do is not good.

Hehe you are right, waiting is the name of the game on this board.

ahmadk

that's messed up bro... I woke up and wanted to see your thread to see the quads (since you're ahead of me in time )
oh well, looks like we have to wait .....

mikata

Tell me about it bro. When I saw all the cars in the shop before rolling in the garage I thought, this doesn't look good.
I was out stressing yesterday to buy all the hardware(pipes and stuff) and today my mechanic says "I'm sorry but you'll have to come back next week".
Oh well, til wednesday!
I'm also removing the resonator to get a little umph in her(sound)

mikata

Got the quads done today. I'll post pics tomorrow. It was too dark when I picked the car up.
It has an unbelievable drone from 2000rpm and up and I didn't change muffler or delete the resonator. At 70mph It sounds like a subaru wrx with a rocket muffler... Will post pics of the setup tomorrow.

ahmadk

Kevwood

Sent you an email Mike, that exhaust shop should be closed down due to incompetence.

mikata

Thanks for your advice Kev. I'll look into the magna muffler.

mikata

Alright dudes, got the quads done, but the drone is way too lound at 70mph or 2000 rpm and higher.
It sounds like a pimped out civic.

The tips do stick out little bit more than OEM setup but that's the way I wanted them.
The right side isn't 100% alligned up yet. That's the hard part but I'll get it done...

mikata

Yeah I know she needs a drop and a set of wider tires but thats to come in mikatas spring mods 2, next spring

michoblb

hey nice pics, and I agree they stick a bit out but looks nice... did you check if you drive into potholes or bad roads if the quads touch the bumper or not?? I had this problem... how did the shop fix the exhaust on the right side?? can u post pics... congrats again bro
