Monzie Member 8 Member For: 18y 10m 2d Posted 20/05/06 04:10 PM Share Posted 20/05/06 04:10 PM Hey guys...I just got my XR and I got a set of pioneer comp subs and wanna stick em in my bootI got the premium sound but its just not doin it for me. so I spoke to the ford machanics and they reckon that I can't replace the pissy 150watt factory amp, as it is wired in with the ECU...They said that seeing as its a 120 watt sound system I can only make it louder, the actual sound quality wont be effected. Has anyone customised thier sound system.Because the ford guys said to install the woofers anyway, and that hey will be able to run at max bass with no problem (derr)so bassically does anyone know any different? or weather infact I can replace the factor amp with a good one?thanks.

joostenjohn60 Member 16 Member For: 18y 9m 22d Posted 22/05/06 09:36 AM Share Posted 22/05/06 09:36 AM I am adding a pioneer 12" sub and for the moment I will use the factory amp and make an adaptor plate to fire the sub through the existing factory mounting position . The 12 will move a lot more air than the 8 or 10 that is there now so will be louder hopefully enough if not there are some 15's in the shed.
