I've been waiting to hear your thoughts before doing the same work on mine, seems Henry wants to do a Roadster....
SO, a more detailed report on the sound please!
What do you listen to?
Can you turn it up so the sound is clear without distorting at 60 to 70 with the hood down?
And the Biggie: How much? (I'll send soup packets)
Peter,
Sorry to get back to you so late but the day was quite busy
To answer your questions:
- Equipment:
Alpine SWE1200
Alpine SPG-17C2 6"5 Coax Speaker (pair)
- What do you listen to? Now that's a rather personal question! ;-)
Anything really, from classical (symphony - some opera) to jazz (Free Jazz mainly and female vocal), with a hint of industrial and upmarket hip hop.
- Can you turn it up so the sound is clear without distorting at 60 to 70 with the hood down?
Oh yes (no distorsion/ no vibration - which I feared most): even though best results will be with hood up, I came back to London on Sunday with the music playing fine @60. However, there will always be competition with the wind and engine.
- And the Biggie: How much?
Sound System + sound deadening + labour was a little more than 700 quid
Hope this helps. Will you be up in Malvern for MMC open day this Saturday? If yes, you can listen to it then.
Cheers,
Vladimir
Ps: As for the soup packets, please make sure they are organic
