Rear sub woofers out of phase VXR8

Hi Mick.

Did this work on your VXR8, if so, may have a go with mine.

It works

I have had the car 3 years and you really know it makes a big difference like today when you get in it after not driving it for a few days and the radio comes on and you think "yes that really has made a difference" think I need to drop the sub gain back to what it was when I got the car, where is the sub amp situated in the boot? I can't remember what side it is ?

The amps in front of the battery on the passenger side.

I did mine this weekend and it really works. I'm another that now needs to turn the bass gain down on the amp.

On the left by the battery

My yellow wire`s are near the bumper, so will be doing this soon.

But, to be honest, the sound is not to bad at the moment. Look forward to it being even better, hopefully!!!

Exactly what I thought Dave, I thought it sounded pretty good for stock, but now its even better, but like I mentioned, I have got to turn the sub amp back down to middle notch which I upped when I got the car.

You lightweight it's all about the bass (the more the better)

Sounds good to me Mick.

Will I need some solder or just the soldering iron, using solder that is already there.
Any tips, or is it straight forward, never soldered before.

Excuse my ignorance. :-))

Dave.

Hope your well Mick, I must say, loving the look of my car, more & more

You shouldn't need anymore as there is plenty on there. Just hold the iron on the connection for a few seconds and soldr.will melt.

Suprised by how much better it sounds now

Glad your liking the lowered look Dave much better.

You shouldn't need more solder but will depend on soldering iron, a small gas one like I have does not really get hot enough and needed to add some extra solder to the tip to get the heat transfer to melt what is on the speaker, if you have the electric type you should be fine, it helped to have a pair of long nose pliers to hold the wires when taking off and soldering back on as they are very short, best to wear a pair of glasses for safety.

Getting in was OK for me, getting out was a different matter
