But u would get atleast get your monies worth. You'd end up having to cough up over 1k for e-managed tuned and then wished you'd gotten a kpro. U could get a k100 and save a little.

What difference would it make between the e-manage ultimate and the kpro, if the car has minor mods?

I don't see any major harm just don't give it too much and it will make the gear box feel crap when trying to select gears. Bit get it changed as soon as you can.

Hey guys i just bought an EP3 and very happy with it :)

will 6"x9" fit in the rear speaker stock area?
07-02-2010, 02:09 PM
denrie

I don't think it does. I think only 6" and 6.5".
07-02-2010, 02:21 PM
Antv

Cheers mate
07-02-2010, 02:37 PM

6 will fit but 6.5 might need some chunky spacer.

Regardless spacers will be needed becos of the oddball oem speaker hole.

As most of you know, I've had my car for a while and its hard parked as.....right!?

Well.....thought I'll give it a little drive this morning to the shops to get some milk!

Parked it far from any other car, walked 30m into a shop. 5 mins later come back and someone had nudged the front bar! Theres a gash in my lip and paint scraped off the bar.......

Seriously, there is no word that I can use to describe my rage!!

Has anyone managed to fit 6" into the fronts without too much modification?
07-02-2010, 03:22 PM

Anyone have any pics of their setup? I don't want to do too much modification to the doors, but would like the extra quality of the 6.5 over the 5.25's.
07-02-2010, 05:21 PM
Philip Lee

That sux George. U probably need some protectors on the front like the rear.

U just need spacer to fit speakers. Unless u have crazy big magnets. Just cut up some mdf and bolt it on. Get some stick on foam to seal the gaps while u are at it.

Btw just transfer my iPod cable from glove box to the center console. Much easier than I thought.

The only difference will be the bass you can get. The 5.25 will not be as deep but will be the only difference. The front doors will need modifications as aftermerket speakers have a much bigger magnet than the stock ones are very small.

George that sucks sorry to hear that.

I didn't need to mod the front door to fit my alpine 6" splits, just need spacers as I said.

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone here has swapped out their headunits in their ep3s? How did you do it? I don't want to mess up the dash trying to remove it.

U gotta pull the panel around the gear shifter first then the panel around the headunit. This will then give u access to all the wiring.
