CDR2005 / Some rewiring
« on: 03 April 2010, 21:08:37 »
Hi,

I have CDR2005 and i'm planning to improve it a bit.
I don't like fancy displays or settings. Woofer will hide under the shotgun.
So, keeping this simple. :P

The CDR2005 is quite good and those original drivers seem to do Ok too.
The only problem i have is the bass is way too high. It gets distorted easily in the cabin.

What i would like to do is to install high pass filters in the doors cutting everything below 50-100Hz (ish) and use the rear output to input woofer.  :)

I have heard bose sound system in Omega and think it is, well, crap.  >:(
So i will not try to find that system for bolt on installation. :P

Any ideas?
Install filters on the doors or find some room inside the dashboard?
Subwoofer will be something like Focal access bus 20 active subwoofer, or similiar.
I have a 12" woofer already available in the shelf, but i don't think i want anything in the trunk this time.

silly question, but have you tried turning down the bass settings? I found  2005 easily adjustable for Bass, from nothing to wacking it out

Yes, tried that.

The problem is that the bass is "stuffed" because the acoustics in the car.
I can make it better. :)

Your English is a lot better than some English people  :y

DaveDND is audio specialist, sure he can comment on upgrades.

I personally put aftermarket Alpine head unit in, as i wanted mp3/iPod input, not regretted it sound wise, its a huge improvement over the quite weak 2005. It sounds a lot better, much more 'rounded' sound than before. No doubt to a much better built in amp.

I kept steering wheel controls but lost part of the MID. I had tech2 disable the radio, so it constantly shows a date, i don't miss the display  :)

the ccr2006 (direct replacement) has a better amp in, but go for daft money second hand.

Probably a better option to start from?

Then put some decent speakers in
