Agree, replacement speakers as a minimum for me. Looking forward to the start of the “replacement audio gear”thread when vehicles start getting delivered and then tampered with.
Nice install!!!! I hope I can find an artisan who can manage that sort of work.
There is one built in
I guess it will be quite a challenge to replicate the 'modern' setup of centre speaker, tweeters and sub in the boot.
My super autophile big arse speaker is under the bonnet.
Yes! A V8 petrol!
But wasn't that a prototype? If I am building a prototype, I would put a cheap stereo in
It was a PTO2. The rep said it was the same. Maybe it is. Maybe not, but I had no reason not to take him at his word.
I would raid a parts bin because the prototype goal is not to showcase your stereo. No matter what we will see what shows up in final production. correct me but the key ingredients to a great stereo is great speakers, amp and adding a sub woofer.
Yes, the primary thing that drives good sound, aside from speaker quality, is having enough power to drive them properly, and at the correct rated resistance. (1, 2, 4 or 8 ohm) This is especially true of a subwoofer. I have an old amplifier that was rated stable at 100W x at 4 Ohm. I drove it at 0.5 Ohm mono, ~400 W and it sounded incredible, although it did get a bit warm when driven hard. Orion HCCA. My old system hit 140+dB and was installed in my 1987 Mustang. Those were the days.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
Add also components placed and matched to the shape and sound reflective surfaces of the vehicle's interior. e.g. "big box" shape and hard reflective surfaces of the Grenadier vs the different (cocoon) "shape" and relatively "plush" soft surfaces of a coupe or sedan.
There is.......twin turbo V8 4.5lt diesel
