Re: Front speakers: water shield (depth limit) removal [HOW
too much messing about for my lazy self! Haha I totally agree with you! I had a lot of time to waste when I did it! :-) Thanks to all for your comments. Btw the speakers are still performing great, I guess the key (even for those who might want to have it done professionally) is the alu tape+silico...

Re: what speakers are better?
Well for rear door I think you have room for any regular (non "slim") speaker of any Brand. If you don't use any amp - e.g. you drive them with the head unit - I would look for the highest possible efficiency (db/W) so they'll be louder at the same "knob" volume If instead you us...

Re: dashboard powering during start-up
So basically you suggest kind of double, parallel feed... the usual "unsuitable" cigarette 12 V AND the solenoid live. When one is off, the other is on (e.g. during startup) and viceversa, with the diodes preventing a short between the two. Clever! :idea: I'll suggest it to my LPG mechanic...

Re: dashboard powering during start-up
Hi and thanks for your interest! I apologize for the very, very late reply :oops: I carefully measured voltage with a multimeter, and unluckily the cigarette lighter (both the "hot" lead and the illumination one) completely shuts off (0 volts) during engine crank-up. Therefore it is not su...

dashboard powering during start-up
Hi to all, I posted here because it concerns power lines around the dashboard, but if you think the more appropriate section is another (Ownership Problems etc.), please move the thread and/or change its title! Foreword: I have a LandiRenzo Omegas LPG fuel system installed. This (but surely other br...

Re: Privilege Interior Door Handles
Sorry to revive an old topic but it concerns exactly my problem I'm out of warranty, I don't want to buy a brand new handle and I cannot find a used one at junkyards etc. (I cannot find scrap Meganes at all, actually :-() The leather/tennis wrap is a clever solution! but I'd like something less pers...

glovebox handle repair [HOW TO]
Hi everyone, my 2003 Meggie's falling apart :( After dephaser (had to renew the whole distribution, only waterpump covered by warranty, total bill: £480), steering box (100% under warranty) and rear shocks (£200), at the moment I have a failed rotary wire in the steering wheel, melted/sticky front d...

Re: Front door speaker: water shield removal [HOW TO]
See the edited above post.
I wrote "tutorial" comments and linked all the pictures, for the braves (fools?) who want to d.i.y. and really don't dig the custom Pioneers.

Re: mounting depth
Regarding rears: I don't know. In my 5 door I found no particular limits and used old, lovely (for me) 1303 Pioneers which I spared from my previous cars. Regarding fronts: it's not only a matter of depth, because the shield is profiled and "narrow" at its center, made for magnets smaller ...

Re: Front door speaker: water shield ablation
YEAH I did it! :D I never heard the custom Pioneers but the ones I used (Hertz, 60W RMS, +-2 mm Xmax capable) sound personally nothing short of outstanding ... especially considering I drive the speakers unamplified, just via the 4x50W (25W RMS) of my Clarion h.u.. I don't even need to boost the bas...

Re: Crackling Speakers
IMHO when crackling is heard, some connection is loose and loosing contact OR somewhere the "hot" wire is intermittenly shorting to ground; maybe there's damaged sheath somewhere along the wire. Even if the connections seem fine, In your place I would inspect thoroughly the wires - especia...

Re: Front door speaker: water shield ablation
it works really well, and no speaker vibration :-) Great! Any pictures available? (without dismantling everything of course :lol: ) No I still didn't proceed for lack of time, but I'm determined to do it (and then report here). Although I admit it would not be for everyone, since for only a few buc...

Re: Front door speaker: water shield ablation
Thank you very much for clarification!
Of course I'll post a report of it (or even try to make a tutorial) if I'm succeeding.

Re: Front door speaker water shield ablation
First of all thank you for the prompt replies! :tu Clever opinions which I respect, but I already thought about it and developed an idea. • First, a few days ago I removed and put back on the front speakers, and found both the connector dripping wet (never had water leaks inside, to be honest), and ...

I'm talking about the ones detailed in t...
