I would strongly recommend however that you also install a bass amplifier: it won't transform the Aldermog into a Boombox, but you will get a more defined sound.

The head unit has provision to do so, but a descent bass speaker and amp will almost double the price!

Amp

Sub

I was somewhat taken aback at the prices!confused

If I go ahead I'll use the empty space in the footwell to make an enclosure/footrest, the sound can exit upwards and reflect off the underside of the scutle/bulkhead.

Also I'll need to run a seperate fused power line from the battery as a good sub needs its own 40amp fused spur....And a 700w bass amp uses all the power from the alternator, so you can't run it with the engine off for very long without risking a flat battery.

All in all I'm unconvinced it is worth it. But once it is all finished I may need one more than I think!


Peter, you could have taken a different route and purchased the Black Roadster at Williams, has all the gear and is sound insulated, reportedly can hear the music clearly at 80mph, with roof off but nothing else. innocent
