I'd be terrified of doing something like this to my baby! You're a brave guy! :P

Make sure to keep us updated!

I just know that if I tried anything like this, I'd have at least three pieces of trim and assorted screws & gromits left over after I'd put it all back again.

Oh, and I'd have snapped off at least half the plastic lugs.

Respect!

Respect to you for the rebuild & sharing pics....Are you upgrading your speakers ??....Seems a lot of bother just for sound proofing.

I was going to upgrade my speakers but after seeing the pics dont think i will attempt it lol.

If its like the c4, then its easy. I havent goten to the front doors yet. And i will not upgrade "or use" the rear speakers.
-I will begin the stereo install on monday, I checked around alittle to c where i could put the amp + cable. And that will not be fun, There are no original holes from the inside to under the bonnet.

[jimmy.e]

Cleaned and waxed my old rims a little.they will be putted on tomorrow.

I ordered my ds3 with satnav :-(( i didnt thought it thrue. But all the rest of the stereo is.

Audison bit one "sound processor"
Dls UR 36i "3way front speakers" driven by a Celestra amp.
2xDD ss1 amps for the subs.

I dont know exactly what kind of subs i will be using, The EMMA finals are this week. so i am going to look around and c if i can find something nice,For sale.

[Sag]

Very nice, I absoloutely love my BitOne!

Sub - have you considered the ID Max V3? Hertz Mille?
They are some of the nicest drivers I have ever heard.

Good luck!

[jimmy.e]

i am almost finished with the boot, But i want my amp + and the rca - cable mounted. Before mounting evrything together.
-Need to contact citroen tomorrow, Where i could drill or if they have a pre drilled hole somewhere in the engine bay.




I hope to get an answer from citroen tomorrow, and when the amp + is mounted i will begin with the doors. And i will try to make a little faq how to do it, If someone hasent done it yet.

Must admit that it looks awesome on those 18" rims. What's the ride like?

I see that you kept the carmen red centre caps - nice touch!

Whereabouts in Sweden are you from, jimmy.e?

[Perry]

Stockholm, My Nokia tyres are a lot better then the original bridgestone that was on before "better grip in curves" And alittle more SUV feel."looking down on v70 and saab owners"
-Or iam too used to my old peugeot 106, that is as small/low as an gocart.

yeap i miss it very much, i have only driven it "whole/original" for 3h. Then it went in to the garage. And i really want to get all things together, So i can enjoy evrything.

[jimmy.e]

Not much progress today but at least i have seen the light in the tunnel.

i have a hole. not as big as i wanted it,need a dremel or an. "see below"

My hole.



Dremel or a drillbit that looks like this.


And here it goes out,The big black thing in front is the tubing for the AC.




U can see the hole,just behind "above" the AC tube/"hose"


Its a pretty shitty work, you really need to take it easy. Because u dont want to hurt the AC tube/hose.And you only have 2-4cm clearance.
-But i know citroen will hate me for taking there easy spot. For the 220volt socket in the car.
