Great thread guys

I'll look forward to the mini meet

**shiney** · Thursday 29th December 2005, 19:38

Right, step one is now complete.

I've fitted my head unit, cd changer and Ipod interface. I'm just waiting for the delivery of my speakers and amp.

Didn't you put them on your Ipod to Ipod mini, to Ipod Shuffle, to Ipod Photo, to Ipod Nano? lol

cool, got the majority of mine done too, done my amps and components and fitted the old headunit and graphic. only thing is today i've gone and bought a new head unit (first new 'un in 7 years!) so that will have to go in tomorrow with the ipod interface to go with it

Just a bit of tidying to do with the RCA lead routing, build my new box and I'll be done! Really impressed with the old phoenix gold amps - better than my newer rockford equivalent!

Good stuff guys

I've done a little more on the amp/processor/DAB rack, infact it's nearly ready for the final touches... but I've mostly been up to developing the website for a new car audio speaker manufacturer. Website will be released soon, and I'll post up a link. One to watch out for if you have fairly deep pockets

Mark, Are we up for a sneaky peaky next Monday?

**mulletboy2** · Friday 30th December 2005, 00:13

Sadly not Dave mate, I'm off to the States the following morning, so spending that evening down near the airport with Gareth, one of the Rover lads. Will try to make the next one though

**shiney** · Friday 30th December 2005, 00:17

I'm slowly working on the blue interior illumination conversion.

I've managed to do the air con unit, now progressing on the switches.

I'm using a combination of LEDs and normal 12V filament bulbs. I'll post some pictures up when its all done.

The plan is to change all of the green backlit illumination to blue and to change the amber / orange illumination (of things when switched on - like heated rear screen & seats etc) to green.

Do you fancy doing mine for me afterwards?

sounds great, will be good to see the pics

**mulletboy2** · Wednesday 4th January 2006, 00:52

Sounds good shiney - can't wait to see pics, and I may well be after your help too

Although I may be about to change my headunit, in which case there's no need as I'll have white illumination rather than blue.

Anyway, I said I'd let you guys know when the site was finished. We've just officially launched it: http://www.hybrid-audio.com . If anyone's after some great speakers in the coming months/years, give me a shout

Cheers

Mark

Whilst on the subject, does anyone have any recommendations as to single DIN Hard Drive MP3 players? I know Viking's got one but they don't make em anymore

Had a look at one that JVC makes and they're hideous.

Thanks!

What about the Mstation, now known as the Neo?

What about a ipod - stashed away and linked to a spanking new head unit?
