hypnodoc It's All In Your Mind Gold Donating Members 2,198 Member For: 21y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 21/04/11 09:45 AM Share Posted 21/04/11 09:45 AM Well I finally got the car back with the new system all up and running. I got a free new re cut key, the rear deck the rear underseat floor and rear under seat floor re Dynamatted, and also thick wooden template moulded to shape screwed into the rear deck from below to stop the metal shelf vibrating and flexing, all as no cost compensation of the installers initial stuff up.Now the system is an Eclipse 5030 deck with an excellent blue tooth connection to play music from the iPhone. I also got a little wireless module that keeps the steering wheel volume and mode controls active. The main amp is a big Alpine of some sort that powers front and rear Hertz speakers and tweeters. There is now a new Alpine PMX320 sub amp driving a new Kenwood 8" free to air sub it all sounds much better than it did a week ago, and light years in front of the Factory Premium sound. The only real disapointment is that the factory unit has a hell of a lot more volume than this one setup but the new unit, although not quite as loud is a hell of a lot clearer and the bass is like it never even had one before. The stereo joint wants to have another play with the main Alpine amp on Saturday and tune the speakers in better or something. Anyway all in all its a vast improvement.

Seems strange to me. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74427-new-hybrid-sound-system/#findComment-1098849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange to me.Yeah I think in all the panic of the car not starting, he's turned the APMs down or not turned them up. Tomorrow will see when he re tunes it all.

Tomorrow will see when he re tunes it all.The amps were at 5 and he turned them up to 10. Whatever it means, it worked now it has sound, very loud clear sound. Oh and hands free Blue Tooth. All in all well worth it.

Kenwood sub cost $280. To get the Eclpise 5030 deck, and an Alpine Sub Amp, plus wireless remote for steerring wheel control function full Dynamatting of the inside rear parcel shelf and strengehting of the parcel shelf from underneath plus a free key worth $300, the bill for all fitted and tuned in was $1200. So now it owes me nearly 3K but it sounds superb, I'm happy Edited 23/04/11 12:12 PM by hypnodoc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74427-new-hybrid-sound-system/#findComment-1099227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
