Mine currently

 

Alpine 9855r HU

Alpine T430 Amp running comps.

Lanzar Opti 800 running sub

sub is an RE SE12

Components currently are a set of cheapo inphaseXT6's which are getting changed as soon as i can get together some more money. Car repairs kind of took the money i had saved up. And i have a slight lacking of job currently.

Personally, non-standard after market equipment cheapens the look of cars. The standard sound system in the C4 is pretty good to my ears and I've got nothing to prove with massive subwoofers and amplifiers taking up valuable boots space, or an aftermarket head unit destroying the elegant flair of the interior.

 

Plus, it is widely known that a car is perhaps the worst atmosphere in which to project sound - so if you have a thirst for utmost quality, it would be most prudent to spend cash on a decent home stereo rather than wads on a system for an acoustically inefficient car.

[wozza]

Thats your choice then others like myself prefer to have something that does not result in lacking parts of the music.

 

And yes the stock system is ok for a stock system but it annoyed me. I could be listening to some songs and know there should have been certain drums and cymbals in sections which the factory speakers can not reproduce that annoyed me and took away from listening to the song. Hence i upgraded so i could hear the music and all the intruments as they should be.

 

And no cars arent the best thing to put audio equipment in. However considering my home system is rather good as well my car system can reproduce much nicer clearer bass, drop lower and is punchier.

 

My mids / treble need some help though so gonna try couple things to help there.

 

ANd i dunno about losing the flair of the interior, Maybe you should have a look at some becker or nakamichi units and then tell me they would not suit the interior of the C4 as they look factory fit usually.

 

I can also get my weekly shopping for 3 people in the boot with a wheelchair with my audio gear in there so it really does not take up that much boot space. And honestly bootspace does not concern me im 23 im single back living with parents and have nothign that ever needs to be put in the boot except my mums wheelchair.

 

But if i need a bigger car i have a Chevy tacuma as well much easier to get things in that than the C4 anyway.

You're right, a car isn't a good enviroment for sound - thats part of the fun :ph34r:

 

Who wants to do the easy thing all the time?

[welshys90]

ive got the JBL system in mine and thats more than efficient, subwoofer and everything! and one it gets 2 about 10 its loud enough if u want to blast the ear drums take it 2 about 15 i dont think ive ever had it past 18 and the max is 30 am guessin, just set up it up right and it sounds good

[LeoTheHamster]

End of the day if you're happy with it then thats all that matters :ph34r:

 

Car Audio is my main hobby, so I like ripping the cars to pieces and rebuilding them. Chances are you have hobbies that I wouldn't be at all interested in

 

Work starts soon....

Im thinking about the Becker Grand Prix.

 

If you get it with the Anmber back lighting, it looks stock.

In that case, you'll have to love Audi's A8, which has the ultimate stock system ever as an option - a specially commissioned Bang & Olufsen unit. Now that is something to drool over. It's a $25,000 option in Australia.

[wozza]

Bang & Olufsen stuff is just rebranded things from various manufacturers. Its not as amazing as some people think it is either when you start comparing it to other brands. Theres also people over at talk audio that have spent more than that on there car audio systems.

 

As the guy before said its his hobby it would be a bit boring to just tick a box and not actually do anywork to it and have it all setup for you.

 

It took me weeks of messing with my amps to get it near enough perfect. Im still doing occasional tweeks to it now.
