Driftrocker 5 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 So like many others i’d had enough of the standard sound system and knew it was time to upgrade. I wanted to keep the head unit as is, so broke into the wiring and added RCA converters to the front & rear speaker lines. Built the sub box out of fibreglass, many YouTube videos of tuition. Moved the alarm light and replaced it with a Bass controller. Fitted the Focal IS605TOY Speakers, so a very easy replacement and added about 30 square feet of sound deafening to the doors, boot, arches and boot lid. Overall very happy with the sound now. The sound deadening is essential, the amount of rattles when you throw some real bass into the cabin is incredible. 1 Stutopia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Can you not just get a cover for it? Just thinking that would be more effective than that. Got one on mine on the 12" sub I have in the boot floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Function all the way for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nemesis 15 Report post Posted April 20, 2018 I'd be interested in knowing which wires are for which speaker as I think they are on two different plugs. I have the touch 2 in my 66 plate GT86 so don't know if there is a difference & I am planning on doing the same thing How did you fix the amp? I assume you had to have something behind the carpet to support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftrocker 5 Report post Posted April 20, 2018 Hi, I’ll give you a better run down tomorrow when I’ve got a bit of free time. I’ve got a diagram for a touch & go with wiring colours so it should match. The amp is fixed on carpeted MDF and fixed simply with Velcro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
