Would have to be a dodgy earth I'd say

on the battery or on a component do ya think?

Hey guys,

I've had a good search through the forum for any information, but so far haven't had any success. What I'm after is the colour coding of the front speakers for an FG falcon with premium sound.

Reason is, I replaced the factory splits but did a dodge with the wiring and have hooked the crossover input off of the standard tweeters in the A-Pillar. I've tried tracing wires back to the headunit, but that has proven to be a PITA because the wiring to each door runs through a block connector with dozens of wires, and the colour codes seem different on both sides(?).

Stock:

Not really an ideal setup, I'd like to reduce the amount of cable between the headunit - speakers, hopefully improving sound quality too.

sorry mate could not be bothered reding the whole lot so my questions are I have a fg xr6t with premo sound now what size speakers do I need to upgrade the front and back and are there upgrades for the sub?? I have a 12inch jl audio with box and amp here but would like to keep my boot but will take this option if needed my plan is to buy all the parts then find a good installer

Put the JL in mate, why wouldn't ya?

Then just maybe a decent head unit, the rest might be ok.

I have an FG ute with blah blah blah mods and Xmount of power.. BORING!!.... I want Metal to sound good.. What do I need.. Sound is stock basic pov pack.

Seriously..

I know mate I should of seen this comin but oh well, at least it steams the unnecessary threads and puts them all into one.

The fact of the matter is the factory systems are rubbish and if you want it done right then get the right gear and the right guys to put it in.

[Wingnut]

But I guess that's what my question was.. I have had big systems in most of my other cars but never in a UTE. What can I fit and what should I be looking at in terms of gear. I have had JL, Pioneer, Kicker, Sounstream, Phoenix Gold but not for some time. I dont know whats good value for money these days.

Just say my budget was 2k nothing over the top.

can you give me the sizes of the front spilts and the rear speakers whatever they are I don't really wanna put another head unit in would like to use the standard one and amp the speakers with the sub I wanna try and keep my boot if I can

Hey guys, I have a BA with premo sound. Has a VDO sat nav hooked up to the head unit and battery installed in the boot. Both of which have been in for years. Ive been getting that annoying feedback kinda noise that goes up and down with the revs through the speakers the last few months. Any ideas what may be causing it?? Cheers!

Hey Ardi, sounds like its definatly a poor earth. Saw on here somewhere about fitting a second earth strap from the alternator to the chassis, which is a good idea according to my auto sparkie who reckons factory earth setups are lacking at best.
