bez Member 92 Member For: 21y 6m 23d Location: Brisbane Posted 12/06/03 02:18 AM Share Posted 12/06/03 02:18 AM Does anyone know why the sound upgrade for the ute costs $600 for an extra 2 speakers and 6 stack, but sedan gets sub and colour screen aswell for $900. Colur screen atleast might make it a worthwile upgrade.Also, anyone hooked up aftermarket sub/amp to factory stereo? I don't imagine it has a seperate sub control, so wondering if it would sound any good, if it can be done.Are all the ute owners happy with the grip they are getting from the back? A mate of mine has got an AU Pursuit which is surprisingly difficult to get loose. Not too difficult, but not as easy as you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the sound is not bad ... $600 for tweeters and 5 arm motions is not worth it.... if you would like more ... that's where the dash unit is a real pain ... I'd just go a seperate system or something ... as for hooking up the back ... these utes are surprising well behaved ... watch the wet ... I think the lack of weight over the front (I.e. no V8) makes it an even a better balanced ute than one would expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRSEX EVO 9 SUPPORTER Member 556 Member For: 21y 8m 25d Location: NO CAPA EDIT REQUIRED HERE! Posted 12/06/03 08:09 AM Share Posted 12/06/03 08:09 AM XRSEX what exhaust mods did you do to get 35 hp at the weels. All I did Tango was a 3inch exhaust of the turbo dump pipeincluding a high flow cat and 1 muffler. It is a bit noisy whenin full throttle, but sounds awesome.
