Cheers for the reply. i'll give it a look this morning.
I've just got round to inspecting my rattly sub and as i suspected, the cones a little ripped. I assumed (like PA speakers) i'd just undo the 4 bolts, lift the speaker out, remove 2 wires from the back and stick the new speaker in. No, no, no! i've took the 4 bolts out but the speaker is stuck in the hole. Do you have to take the whole sub out and dismantle it in order to get them out? I expected a 5 minute job.
Thanks
thanks very much. Yeah i read that people aren't fond of the britpart gear. I bough a bearmach gearbox filter the other day too.
Is this the right one for my 2000?
I've seen a couple of different variations. I'm pretty sure it's this but thought i'd double check.

There's a few BMW underseat subs on ebay for reasonable money. (not sure if they'd fit under tho) For the price of the single powered one you looked at, you could install for the driver and passenger. Can get little 12v car amps for under £20.
I've got the same error. Had it a couple if weeks ago.
And not to spoil the Suprise, but it's me that's tig welding a stainless exhaust I found.
Drove not bad today. It's not unbearable by any means. I just know that there's something not quite right. I'll run it for a while and see how it develops.
Found a nice pair of stainless back boxes at the scrappy today. £30. Bargain! Should clean up a treat. Hopefully have the boring stock ones replaced by the weekend.
yeah i know where blakey ridge is. That'd be sweet. Can meet up when you get back. Nothing spoiling til then i don't think.
Thanks
had it all setup last week by Simon as lpg was running a bit rough. Nothing was set in lpg ecu so he did it all. Was running great. Then i got fault p1171 a few times. That's not shown up for a few days now but i've still intermittently had this wobbly roughness when foot comes off accelerator and braking. That's why i've had a look in throttle body today. I still think there might be more cleaning to do so perhaps i'll get hold of a gasket, take the throttle body off and do it properly. It has made a huge difference by cleaning it and resetting butterfly.
If i run it on petrol only, adaptives will reset wont they? But, the lpg settings will have to be done again??
Thanks for the reply. :-)
yeah mate. with the air intake hose off, i could see that the butterfly wasn't always closing all the way. It was the cruise control cable. So backed that off and the butterfly is shutting perfect everytime.
Like i say tho, i still feel that the car is being helped along sometimes with no accelerator. That's why i ask about the IAC valve. With your foot off the accelerator, does the IAC take over? If so, i reckon that might be to blame. The IACV is from the other range rover i have. I swapped it when i began this fault finding process a couple of weeks ago, but it made no difference. So im confident that the valve itself is good. I just think the airway going to it might be the cause.
What do you think?
Seems to have worked a treat. I still feel tho, that there may be something not quite right. I might just be being picky, but coming through the village doing about 30mph, took foot off accelerator and the car kept going smoothly as though i still had my foot on (wafting along nicely). It was gradually slowing but not as quick as i imagine it should.
As i say, i cleaned the throttle body with carb cleaner. I didn't take it off as i don't have a new gasket. I assume that there's a hole somewhere in the throttle body (that i can't see without taking it off) where the IAC valve draws it's air from? Might that be gunked up also?
i suspected so.
I'm in Redcar.
Hello.
Got the book but no codes. Is that a hevac specific one?
Switch engine off and on and it goes. Park car for a few hours, switch back on and within a few minutes book is back. Like i say, i've looked for fault codes but torque says no codes stored in ecu.
Sprayed carb cleaner but idle didn't change. Throttle body butterfly plate was a bit black so gave that a clean. Noticed that it wasn't closing all the way every time. seems to have been the cruise control cable. loosened that off a couple of turns and it shuts properly now. I'll see what it's like on a drive.
ah ok. just you said about considering not using the tweeters.
have you thought about dual concentric?
dsp sounds good in mine in my opinion. sub on 4, bass on 6, and treble on 3.
I used to have the sub on 7 but then the Mrs put radio 1 on once. I couldn't be doing with it.
what's the range of the tweeters?
Would band pass on the mid-range be a bit overkill for what you want do do?
I used to find alot of gear around 2.5k was a bit pokey and harsh and needed taking out on the graphic to even the sound. JBL stuff was alot better tho. 2441's were always one of my favourite drivers.
jbl's will be a better speaker by far and 50hz won't be as boomy in the door.
Is the sub out a dedicated frequency or can you sweep it? I'd have the sub at around 60hz where the mid-range is going to start dropping off. Set a cd going and sweep the sub range until it evens out the sound.
'twill make for a far more even sound with the addition of a sub.
