Re: AUDIO ADVICE
SPeaking about Bose.. my Avant came with an OEM built in Bose amp and subwoofer assembly in the left hind corner. Awesome sound. The previous owner put in a JVC headunit as well but never wired it up correctly... imagine my surprise when I hooked it up as it should be
Something like this.

Re: AUDIO ADVICE
Speedster:
Ipod set up................JBL 5 1/4 GTO's up front, soon to be moved to the kick panels, Clarion amp, GTO 8" sub, very wicked for a drop top.
Honda:
Same set up, just with a pioneer ipod HU, almost done..........100% of the boot still useable and I still have my spare. Just waiting on new carpets.

Re: AUDIO ADVICE
In the DarkSide I listen to the Sounds of Silence as all the audio equipment is GONE! It allows me to better appreciate the harmonious sounds coming from the Force which sounds like this

Re: AUDIO ADVICE
A finely tuned air cooled flat for with a non-standard silencer (oxymoron) is by far more superior than any sound sytem

I dunno, stock exhaust whistle going under a bridge or through a tunnel rates higher for me.

Re: AUDIO ADVICE
When my bug is licensed and on the road one day, I will install my sound, that has been patiently waiting, and post pics, stealth install is planned. 2 x 6x9 pioneers, 1 x 10"pioneer sub (10" give better base over a larger range imho than say a 12"or a 15").
4 x 100watt rms amp, sony headunit and a pair of 100watt tweeters.
Anyone know where I can get the bracket to fit the radio in the glovebox ?
