Lets talk E30-IC

[rcsoundn1]

at some point a PO installed new speakers in mine. They are dual voice so there is a small tweeter mounted in the middle of the speaker. This causes the trim panel which covers the speaker to have a slight dimple. You don't have to get originals, just buy blaupunkt or whatever that's the same size and ohm rating as the originals

those are coaxile, not DVC just an FYI

Got it, thanks guys. Next question:

I'm installing a new release handle for the top. I have part 7 in the diagram but it did not come with the barrel pin above part 12. When I got the car, just the cables were there ending after part 14. Do I need that barrel pin? Has anyone else run in to this? I bought the new release handle from Pelican.

The top release handle is a door handle assembly flipped upside down. Any junkyard car will have all the parts that you need. And the "cup" is universal. Only the pull handle is side-specific but the one for the top release is the same as the passenger door handle.

I have a set of pioneers in the rear. Fit perfectly.
Older model however....the are pearl white with a bluish built in tweeter

Bump. I need new rear speakers on my vert. Have any of you guys been able to fit more modern speakers in or do I need to track down originals?

I run Audiobahns in the rear and on the kickpanel, and I picked up some nice Alpine tweeters from a junker. They're affordable and they actually fit. I figured I might as well bypass my amp too, so I took care of that and now everything sounds perf. ;D

Mods have nothing to do with it. It's the site owner that does.

Oh gotcha. Isn't there a r3v 2.0 in the works? I remember reading something about how any site modifications would be easier to do after the transition. In any case how hard is it to add in another section? Do you think it's just a matter of the owner finding someone to modify the html?

how do you become a mod? what do you guys do? Im not being a jerk here, its genuine curiosity. I do know some of what you guys do, thanks for all you do.

Basically one or more of the current staff will suggest someone.


Mods keep an eye on things making sure people stay civil and the forum don't get out of hand.

I don't see you asking this being a jerk, and your welcome.

Oh lol it's just window weatherstripping. You get it in a 10 foot roll and cut it to fit, then peel the back off and press on to your windshield housing. Helps with any gaps in the front main seal. But you can also check out this video if your top isn't aligned correctly, like mine wasn't. Alignment is in pt 2. There's ways to adjust your windows so they sit tighter with the top, which helps with aging seals as well.

I would love to have an IC section! So many vert specific questions . . .

And also, please share the secret of the $7 seal!

^^^^^ I would like to know as well
