UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Its odd that you've posted this because my mate noticed my 1.4 16v 75bhp SE didnt have one either, yet his mark 4 1.4 16v did! I got kinda worried that a garage i've been too might have taken it out and not put it back.

Can someone clarify this?

nice one mate, thanks for going out of your way to check. hopefully tommorow ill go and have a look

thank you! thats pretty much what i wanted to see. just need to have another look and see if i can work out where it is.

Is it viewable from under the pedals or from under the car?

cheers for that mate. are there any pictures of the actual cracks in the box?

...could you please post them here? There was a thread from before but none of them will show now.

Im trying to look at mine from the drivers footwell, but i can't seem to find anything damaged, maybe im looking in the wrong place?

Thank you

They won't fit in the standard locations at all :lol:

I'll be taking the car to Prestige Audio in Rickmansworth to have them make door builds for the midbass and A Pillar builds for the tweeters which will then be trimmed in a mix of Leather and Alcantara :D

knew it :P no way they would fit ...

friggin awesome! they are definately gonna sound beautiful!


i hope im not gonna spoil ur day by saying this, but how are u gonna fit these in ur doors? im having extreme difficulties fitting my JL XR650 CSI's in. im using the plastic mount with a 9mm baffle and the speaker jus fits in depth wise ...

hmm ur rite, ma mate thought it was metal when he tapped on it! i think im just gonna use the plastic thing, i dont have the time, skills or facilities to fiddle with mdf, and im gonna sound deaden the doors anyways so im sure it will be fine

if it sounds rubbish then ill sort something out!!

JL ...

i want to put them in the stock locations, but usually in other cars, the speaker is attached to the metal. when people replaces them, they add a mdf baffle to give it a strong solid mount (and extra space to accomodate the speaker)

with the polo, the speaker is attached to a plastic adapter sorta ...

hey people, i want to install my JL components, got sound deadening to apply but before i do, i need to make a baffle for the speakers.

now im sure the point of using a baffle is so thats its solid, which would mean i have to remove the not-as-strong plastic speaker adapter right? but the thing is ...

hey mate nice ride :D welcome to the forum!

you do indeed have the 75bhp model as it is 16v (theres a 100 bhp version but it has 16v badges on the car)

and as for the rev limiter, i started a thread jus a while ago (its on this page) as mine does the same! altho i didnt get a response on how to ...

nah i don't red line my car often, it was just something i noticed once and i thought it was odd! but its all good, its not a major thing...thanks for all the replies!

(PoloBoI), was that question directed at me? just a bit confused as its nothing to do with the question i asked (hopefully im not ...

If you're revving that high for power though, it's a waste of time letting it hit the limiter because it cuts the power.

Best bet is to change just before the power dies.

yeh thats what i do anyway, which brings me to the other thing; is it supposed to limit at 5 - 5.5K? the redline is at 6k and ...

my engine isnt the 100bhp one tho, its 75, and redlines at 6K so its quite unlikely its gonna limit in the redline. the manual does say about not letting to the car go into the red at any time

is there anyway of maybe changing the limiter? or maybe the car has been in low revs its entire life as ...

well i definately know mine doesnt go into red, but yeh im sure it limits at about 5 to 5.5k. its really annoying cos i fly forward, one day im gonna hit the damn steering wheel

is yours the same engine as mine?

well let me know your findings after you go for a cruise
