keelerad 256 Report post Posted April 28, 2014 Would you have wanted the release of the car to have been delayed to add this change ? (once the design is decided on for production any changes cause significant delays) There are bound to be little cosmetic improvements that come out on later models, I'm pleased that they came up with a bolt on solution that could easily be added to existing cars rather than a redesign of the center console in next years model Anyway you cheated and didn't cut out the paper template and fit it yourself (much like I didn't fit my reversing camera) Alec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forge197 12 Report post Posted April 28, 2014 No I wouldn't have wanted a delay but I bought used It is nice though that there are after market options likes this that make a difference. I did cheat I was going to do it myself like the ICE install, but as it was heading to RRG made sense to take the easy route Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

forge197 12 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 Tidy install, can't go wrong with JL, I had a W3 in my first install Thanks Always wanted a JL sub it's my first had some MTX, MBQuart subs along the way. Need to spend a little time getting it setup and pop a setting into each of the DSP memories, will wait until I've run it all for a bit. Move the DSP controller this evening so it's up front Does now highlight poor quality mp3's etc....... Some are dreadfully recorded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forge197 12 Report post Posted May 18, 2014 Added more sound deadening to front doors basically block the holes up, has improved the mid-range, really pleased with the install and the fact it's a DIY install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 Excellent speakers. 1 CHOSENMAN007 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forge197 12 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 I've never driven them from the standard head unit only with a seperate amplifier, as Lauren says they are excellent really pleased them a nice all round sound . I am not sure what RMS (power output) the standard head unit to give a view on how that could work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

forge197 12 Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Added DAB yesterday (Tuesday) thanks to RRG Macclesfield for sorting, also had offset top mounts fitted to adjust the camber on my standard suspension setup. Initial thought is sharper steering, going for a proper drive tomorrow, as had to get home pick up daily hack and get to London. 1 Riceburner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
