as I've been reading this section I saw that many of you decided to change the original skoda audio equipment(HU and speakers)! I have decided to do that to but I don't have idea with what!!!

I was thinking of this Pioneer setup:

HU--- DEH-P6700MP http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/product_detail.jsp?product_id=9909&taxonomy_id=25-121

Front Speakes---TS-A171C http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/product_detail.jsp?product_id=2594&taxonomy_id=25-131

Rear Speakers---TS-A131C http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/product_detail.jsp?product_id=2595&taxonomy_id=25-131

So what do you think of it???

Does anyone have experience with this speakers(how do they sound and stuff..) and what could be the problem mounting them(front speakers ar much deeper then the original ones, so will I have to cut metal to mount them, and will the window on the way down hit the magnet of the speaker, and do the tweeters fit in easily)???

I am totaly new at this so i apologize for asking so much questions!

I have the TS-A171C speakers in my Fabia and they sound excellent (compared to the same price-range of other manufacturers!). They were an extremely tight fit, but I don't think that you'll have much trouble with them since the Octy has a deeper hole for the front speakers.

According to the Pioneer's table you shold use an adaptor 43P841 for front speakers and a UD-M171 for the rear speakers.

EDIT: About the tweeters...I drilled a hole and fixed them just near the original tweeter locations. I'll post a pic if I found one

arcom thnx for the replay!!!(a pic would be nice)

ok but what if i can not get adaptor 43P841 and UD-M171 cause I live in fckin'(sorry) Croatia where they have onley the the basic pioneer equipment!!!

I can order, but it will cost me to much!!! (or i can do it my self)

So did anyone with octy built in this speakers??? and what comment do you have about HU(good and bad)???

skodillac> You and me both, m8 Gdje zivis? Ja sam iz Rijeke.

Adapter (doduse, za Fabiju) sam kupio u Absolute Security-ju. Svi ti adapteri su uglavnom samo distanceri tako da to nije problem napravit od drveta (npr. sperploce). Isto tako, probaj pitat u Svijetu Medija (www.svijet-medija.hr) ako imaju te adaptere od Pioneera, ili u Helikopu (www.helikop.hr) - oni su generalni uvoznici.

Pozdrav!

pa što ne kažeš ,ja sam Iz Zagreba!!!

Sto se tice tih adaptera, nije to tolki problem napravit nego mene muci dubina i velicina magneta, jer su tvornicki zvucnici relativno plitki, a na pioneerovom sajtu preporuca se sljedece:http://www.pioneer-eur.com/files/SFYC/indexfcf1.html?action=getspeakers&sBrand=SKODA&iCarTypeID=1162

a svi ovi prednji su puno plici od ts-a serije(osim toga ovi custom-fit mi se nikako ne dopadaju)!!!

Sto se helikopa tice, cuo sam tolko stvari o njima,a isto tako i o KBZ elektronicu(servis koji radi sas helikopom) da tam ni najgoreg neprijatelja nebi poslal da ista kupi a kamoli da muziku slaže!!! :thumbdwn:

I apologize to everybody for posting in my native language but it is much easier cause we(arcom and me) are both from Croatia, if thats a problem just say and I wont do it any more!!!

Everybody is more than welcom to post their opinion and suggestion!!!

Tako je i meni na Fabiji, ali sam ga uspio ugurat Morao sam stavit jedan drveni prsten na distancer i jos jedan tanji ispred zvucnika da mi membrana ne nabija po plastici od vratiju. Doduse, ta ista plastika je malo ispupcena sada, ali se ne primjeti

Odi u Svijet Medija; cijene su OK (cak mislim da su najjeftiniji) i imaju vecinu asortimana. Tamo sam ja kupio sub od Pioneera.

Da, ali ja bi volio da ona orginal plastika poslje fino sjedne natrag u ležište, nikako nebi volio ostavit otvorene membrane zvučnika!!!

Kolko jako je ispupčena??? jel bi mogo sliknut to i stavit tu??? I daj reci jesam dobro shvatio: kupio distancere i onda si jos gore na njih morao stavit jos po jedan drveni(home made) jer ovaj nije bio dovoljan??? Mogao si odma npravit malo deblji drveni!!! Kolko ga treba otprilike odmaknut??? (jedno 2 cm jel je???)

Što se tiče Svijet-a Medija cjene su relativno ok, malo su skuplje nego u KBZ-u al tam, kao što sam već reko, ne idem ni da mi je zadnje!!! A tu se može i online naručit pa ima neke popuste!!!

EDIT:

E da i vdio sam da si plave ledice stavljao u fabiu!!! Lijepo izgleda, jesi i komandnu plocu sredio??? i ne umara li plava boja oci puno vise nego zelena(ja recimo u Golfu sa plavim osvjetljenjem jedva da mogu pogledat u komandnu plocu-ono, sve se bljesti ko u Betlehemu )

Meni je sjela fino. Kazem ti, malo je ispupcena, ali onaj tko ne zna to nece ni primjetit. Kod Fabije je problem sta za zamjenu zvucnika moras skidat kompletan tapecirung sa vrata dok kod Octavie samo skines mrezicu zvucnika.

Distancere (a i zvucnike) sam kupovao bez da sam se prethodno raspitao da li uopce pase Zvucnike sam odmaknuo za cca. 15mm (naslonio sam ih na metalnu vodilicu sa zadnje strane i tako ih zasarafio).

Nisam znao da je KBZ jeftiniji od Svijeta Medija. Meni se cini upravo obrnuto :confused:

Sto se tice plavog osvjetljenja - sve je sredeno! Bljesti sve u 16

Osobno mi je plava ugodnija nego zelena, a i nije toliki problem kad se naviknes - sad barem ne moram gledat na kazaljke da znam brzinu i okretaje, hehe.

15 mm, pa i nije to puno...

Sto se usporedbe cijena tice: KBZ-TS-A171C-->515 kn, a Svijet Medija-->545 kn,sa online popustom 517 kn sto i nije neka razlika ali ako kupis u KBZ-u i das da ti to sve slože,ak nekaj krepa garanciju ne priznaju makar su oni sve prodali i slagali ...tak da bum radije sve kupil i sam slagal...

Sto se osvjetljena tice, daj molim te, al stvarno te molim da uslikas komandnu plocu

(sam da vidim kak to sve zgleda :wrthless: )!!!

ja patim na plavo osvjetljene i crvenu kazaljku...to bi si prije muzike ugradil sam kaj sam ljenčina otvarat sve!!!

e da, a kaj je s tweeterima, jel bar oni pasu onak ko orgialni ili bum i za njih moral nekaj delat???

Tweetere mozes ugurat na mjesto postojecih, naravno. Poslat cu ti sliku kasnije da vidis kako sam ja svoje montirao.

Evo slika table:

(i nisu bas nesto, ali se vidi )

pa ovo skroz gubica izgleda...nikad nebi reko da se ova zelena moze tak fora ukomponirat s plavom...

e a što se 43P841 adaptera tiče jer ima tog kod nas za kupit negdje???

Hvala, hvala! Nego...gdje ti vidis zelenu boju???

Koliko sam vidio iz slika, taj adapter cak nije ni distancer nego samo plocica koja omogucuje da uzi zvucnik stavis u siru rupu - to mozes i sam napravit sa komadom lima, plastike ili tanke sperploce.

EDIT: Aaauuuuuuuuu, sranjeeee!!! Tek sam sad skuzio da ova Octavia koju sam ja gledao je novi model, a ti imas stari model. Nisam siguran da ces uspjet ugurat ove zvucnike u vrata :( Najbolje bi bilo da prvo izmjeris max. dubinu i promjer zvucnika koji stane pa tek onda razmislis o kupnji. Sorry.

This looks interesting and I like the blue and red dash.

Any chance of an english translation?

No problemo!

We were actually talking about speaker installation all the time This blue/red dash was brought up by skodillac because he saw my thread where I posted a few pics of my blue illumination and he wanted to see how the dash looks now.

Cool.

How hard was it to change the colour?

Did you have to solder new LEDs in place?

You have to replace the LEDs (obviously ), remove a few resistors and solder new ones in different locations - this is because the original LEDs are connected in series of 4 LEDs and you have to connect new LEDs in series of 2 LEDs, otherwise it won't work (because the blue LEDs have a larger voltage drop that the green LEDs).

Unfortunately I didn't took any photos of new resistor locations but If you can send me a hi-res picture of the dash board I could mark them for you.

Do you have to take the dashboard apart and so on?

I've heard this is where the immobiliser would sit...

Well...yeah, you have to take it apart, unless you are a magician

I thought that the immobiliser is in the ECU?

Hvala' date=' hvala! Nego...gdje ti vidis zelenu boju???

[/quote']

Ma joj, zajeb totalni...zaboravil sam da mi je monitor sjeban(sjeban je vec pol godine pa sam se vec naviko)...Od RGB boja ostale su mi samo zelena i plava tak da mi se crvena cini zelenkasta!!!

Moj bed!!!

Di si naso sliku od 43P841, ja ju nemrem nigdje naci!!!

Nisam siguran da ces uspjet ugurat ove zvucnike u vrata

Ma ugurat cu ih pod razno...

Any chance of an english translation?

Learn Croatian...

Hey guys, you are going way OT!!! I dint mind , just want to remember you that if someone has any comment about mentiond speakers and HU I would be more than glad to hear them out!!!

Ma tu sliku sam nasao jer sam gledao krivi model Octavije

Odi na Pioneerov site pod auto-zvucnike, onda imas s lijeve strane "Choose the right speakers for your car" i odaberi Skoda->Octavia model '04 i vidjet ces te adaptere na slikama.
