hey guys, my buddy just bought an eclispe deck off ebay, the cd5423:

http://www.caraudiomag.com/testreports/0310cae_eclipse/

now, in this article, it mentions this:

should the seller of the unit be including a code? when emailed, the guy just said "it's unlocked".. but it seems like it needs to be unlocked every time you remove it from the vehincle.. am i wrong?

thanks for the input.

 

It only needs to be unlocked everytime IF the ESN is activated. If its not, then itll turn right on.

Just FYI..if your friend decides to use the ESN he MUST have that key CD if he disconnects power. I also recommend using a store bought one. If he ever loses it hell be SOL. It can be reset via a dealer, but Eclipse will need to see proof that it was dealer bought.

 

ok, thanks a lot don

 

no problem sir.

 

So H & C must be asleep huh?

 

yup they are

....for now.

 

Hehe, they're too damn cute.

 

cant wait for those SLCs... don you didnt happen to send some to RI did you? (along with some MDF rings )

 

i have mine just set up to ask for a password when ever it is disconnected..

 

yes I did, but the rings are being shipped seperately. My router table is temp not setup.

 

yeah the SLCs arrived

and wow. they look great... they're goin in today!

 

keep us posted, and dont forget the buyer/seller to your left.

 

Can I get some buyer feedback

 

OK they're in guys.. Monitor One amp, 125 watts to each side in front.

wow. damn.. all of the above

i'm very impressed, by far the best i've heard (i know they don't touch germainiums, but ive only heard mbq comps and such)

i didn't know so much bass with 0 distortion could come from 6.5s.. wow

the highs sound nice and clear, but not as much as expected, but im 100% sure this is due to my JVC HU, the thing SUCKS when it comes to treble, completely, however it will soon be replaced by a pioneer or Eclipse so im not worried at all

overall a MAJOR upgrade from what i had before, im very satisfied. Don, + feedback will be left when this is posted.

 

Excellent, just wait till you break'em in

 

i know im psyched. broken in, and mdf rings..

 

I figured youd be a bit happy.

Wait a bit for those mids to loosen up and the tweets to soften up a bit for them to really shine.

 

Glad to see the positive feedback. give them a week to break in then crank them.

 

alright guys, thanks. now im anxious for yet another week to go by.

 

have you deadened the doors?

 

nope i plan to, however. especially if it helps that much.. my rear deck (at least) needs to be done as well

 

I think it would be worth it.

 

k.. maybe i shouldve made a new thread, but how did you guys install your tweeters?? mine are like this, and it just seems funny to me:


They're tilted towards my face as much as possible. the manual was kinda unclear.. am i suppose to use both cups that it came with? or just one? or is it my choice? Don?

 

I have a different set, but the tweeter location is the same as yours. Mine came with the cup mount.








Hmmm... Hmmmm... Hmmmm......


I have not received any yet for the few transactions ....

 

yeah i think mine would have fit in there like that, but the it wouldnt be aimed towards the center of the car. i think that looks cleaner though..
