well i bought a 91 rex si and i went and put a cd player in and all it does is skip when the bass hits??? i was jsut wondering if there is a mount kit or something i can do so the cd player doesnt skip? its a new cd player so i know its not the cd player

 

anyone????

 

wedge some foam under it

 

i was thinking of something a lil bit more permanent

 

theres not a mount kit, all CD players are 1DIN which is the same size as the factory radio and most other civic players. You may need to foam it as stated or try cleaning the lense or your cd player is old and the cd eye may be on its last leg. I had a old Sony POS and it skipped when I would look at it.

 

I just got my new deck from crutchfield and they sent a bracket for the back. It helps brace the deck in the back.

 

its a metal bracket with holes in it?? Yeah all cd players come with those. It has a bolt in the bag for that bracket and it screws in the rear of the cd player. Its nothing special from crutchfield sorry

 

i used a sock. its sooo sweet, my **** can fall down a cliff and not miss a note.

 

well i need something, the cd player is brand new, well i used it for a cpl months in my 93 si hatch and had absolutely no problems, is there anywhere i can get those metal strips im pretty sure i tossed mine along time ago

 

no it's not the metal strip with the holes in it. It was in a kit that crutchfield sent. Has 2 plastic pieces, 1 square "c-shaped" piece that holes the deck, and a flat piece that holds the other piece on the back bracket in the console

 

Here's the link to the crutchfield bracket

thank you very much, i just ordered it and should be here in 2 days, thank you again, i will post back and let you ppl know if it solved my problem

 

well i got the kit and installed it, really easy to install, while i was doing that i put a couple of foam pieces in there also, and it works 100 times better, still skips around 150 db's but i guess i cant really expect much better, thanks for all the help

 

150 db's,yeah right,lol.

 

np

150 dbs is possible. what are you running?

 

he would have to have a hell of a lot to be hitting 150 db's,we had a van built for compitition,it was hitting 154 with 6 stoker 18's and 1000 watts going to each.a mustang we did had 4 15's in it,it hit 146.witht he van we could not even think about using a cd player in the cabin,at 154 it would not play for 2 seconds,no matter how it was mounted,we had to use remove the headunit to the outside when we competed.

 

150+ isn't that hard to do. I know of several setups with 2 15's and about 1k watts to each in the low 150's.

 

Yeah....150 db's are very possible. With the advent of the internet,info flows a lot
more freely..No longer is spl such a dark magic with clerics and
closely guarded secrets. Anyone can build a ported box with a pair of speakers
and 1 or 2 amps and hit it or very close to it.

laterz

 

ok,lol

 

why the lol? 150db isn't that impressive anymore. there's a rex here in bellingham, with three fosgate 10" hx2's that hits around 155db. he's running about 900 rms a piece...

you have to consider airspace... a van's got a hell of a lot more air than a civic hatch does, duh. less airspace=more compression=higher spl

how can you be building a spl van and not understand simple concepts? maybe that's why the van's not hitting....

 

yeah,its a van,but walled off,probably not much more air space up front than a crx.the van is not built for spl,its a show van that was used as a demo for cerwin vega at the daytona convention center for spring break,it hit 154 f with no seals in the doors.all im saying is that at 150db,a bracket and foam will not stop a cd from skipping,if your hitting that high there is nothing to stop it from skipping i unless you remove it from the cabin,when i had to play the van for onlooking people in the center,i had to wear earplugs to just to keep from hurting my eardrums,thats with having the doors open all the way.i dont think you really understand just how loud 150 db really is.have you ever actaully been in a car hitting that high.its ben about 3 years since we did the van and i have since pretty much got out of the stereo game but im sure things have to progressed that far.

people all the time make up rumors and such,but how many people actaully get on a meter,a good one that it calibrated by iasca.im not going to argue,just show me.

 

wow all of this over me? lol well with 2 square 15's in my rex i hit a low 150, and thats with 800 rms to each, whats the big deal its a lil *** rex with a loud system ( rarely turn up the system that loud becuase if i did i would be deaf really quick)

so the mount kit works and im sure as long as its not over 140 it wouldnt skip with a good cd player
