Apart from the head unit (which doesn't look anything special), my hi-fi system looks 100% stock, but I bet it will sound better than yours, when you've finished it.

whats in yours Benny?

JVC head unit with USB input (which I love), Focal splits, 8" Alpine sub in a custom made box, and a big amplifier that fits in the tunnel between the tank and the sides of the car.
Don't know the brand of the amplifier, it was reccomended to me by my hi-fi guy, and it works really well.

While it doesn't look flash (and I didn't want it to look flash for thieves), the sound quality is excellent, and I can still hear it well while doing 160km/h with the roof down.
I've been a bit of an audiophile since I was quite young and appreciate good sound, not overly loud thumping crap, although my system can thump with the best of them, but I'm more interested in superb sound quality.

I have the optional Bose sound system in my Mercedes, and I think the sound quality is reasonable.
If it wasn't for the stupid BUS electrical system the car has, I would have upgraded that too to try and get as good quality sound as I have in my SP.

bring on the photos, benny!

now the next questions is

what focal splits do you have?

and any pics of the amp? and between the side and tank?

thanks

The head unit is just a cheapish JVC unit.
I chose it because it looks pretty ordinary, but has a USB port in the front of it, which I use often.
You can't see the amp without removing half of the boot trim, and you can see the sub on my cardomain webpage, which you can access via my profile.

Can't tell you which Focals I've got, but they cost me around $1,4000 for the pair of splits about 6 years ago.

haha love the typo

Yeah, comma's in the wrong spot.

I've just put a JVC in mine too. USB connection is now via a cable (at least on this model) which doubles as an iPod connection. Works well, sounds ok (still running factory speakers at the moment) and the extra gadgets (USB, Bluetooth, etc.) all work as advertised.

$14000 for a pair of speakers? crikey.. the wires must be made of 24k gold!
