I asked Cambridge if they'd just sell their adapters they developed and was met with a hard no. They will only do full installs.

KJWEmira, I'm looking to order brackets from you, but as I just made this account yesterday, could not initiate a PM.

COMMS UPDATE:-

Just a heads up for those contacting me via email - For some reason, many owners outside of the UK are sending me emails, which I'm not receiving, although it's mainly effecting customers in the USA.

Please feel free to reach out to me on this thread where we can start a private message.

Here's my email keithjw@hotmail.co.uk should you also wish to request further information & pictures.

A brief update from my side regarding feedback on purchasing.

Considering the amount of scams around at present we have decided to make the speaker and Amp mounts available as a package on Ebay, therefore giving peace of mind for people to purchase & choose how they wish to pay (Paypal, GPay, Visa, Mastercard):-

The eBay link shows a 404 from NGINX gateway and I can't find the listing on a search... did you block shipping to the US or something?

Hi Nova,

Well pointed out & thank you - the link does not work. This forum auto inserted the link when I wrote the word "E-bay".

Are you able to login to the ".co.uk" website instead of the ".com"?

Also, Centerpunch has posted the actual link to the listing - Thank you.

Let me know if I can provide further assistance.

Hi Nova,

I've revised the listing as International Shipping was not selected. This has now been changed and you should be able to see it - Please get in touch should this not be the case.

We've used a standard shipping value of £70 to the USA for the size of the package, some wanted it faster and some did not mind when it arrived. We only utilse UPS and they generally deliver in around 3-5 days.

Also revised is the section regarding "International Shipping", which now includes my email address (keithjw@hotmail.co.uk). Ebay does not allow me to send or receive any personal details - which is a pain, but good for obvious security reasons.

Cool! I was just curious why it wasn't showing up for me after a search. I figured that there will be US buyers who are interested in looking at the listing. Thanks!

I've had a friend in the USA search for it and send me some screenshots. All now looks good and international postage is also displayed.
People now can purchase with complete protection from Paypal, Gpay, Visa etc.

Again, thank you for pointing out the issue

I recently purchased this kit and it helped me out tremendously. The pieces are very well made and the speaker wire color list included helped make the install process that much easier. Highly recommend this kit to anyone wanting to upgrade their audio components.

On a side note, I wanted to include some troubleshooting I ran into.

With my install I used a Line out converter because my amp didn't accept high level inputs. To avoid Distortion at higher volume, all signals must go through the line out converter first and then be combined after together to get a full range signal. The specific line out converter I used Audio Control lc7i .

Thanks again.

which speakers/amps did go with if I may ask?

 

[Lotusdoesit]

Hertz Mille ML 280.3 - Tweeters
Hertz Mille ML 1650.3 - Front
Hertz Cento CX130 - Rear
Audison Prima APBX 10 AS2 - Sub
Audison Forza AF M8.14 bit - Amp

"Skinz" was used for sound deadening, then self-adhesive acoustic foam stuck on top, but only where the speakers bounce off of.

Is the amp you are referencing? https://audison.com/product/apbx-10-as2/
It looks like it comes in a box?

Hi @Lotusdoesit,

The link you've posted is for the subwoofer I've installed, yes, this has its own amp built in amp too.

However, the main amp I suggest for the car is an Audison AF M8.14 Bit (so you'd need both ) :-

Audison Forza AF M8.14 bit - DSP AMPLIFIER

Forza AF M8.14 bit boasts eight high-fidelity amplified channels 90W x 8 @4Ω, with the audiophile sound of the latest generation Audison D-Class technology.

Apologies, I meant to reference the sub. I don't suppose you install the sub with the box it comes in, do you?

Yes, you'd install it how it comes from Audison.
I've attached a picture of mine installed.

Hi- do you install this kit professionally or did you just fit to your own car?
