Premium Sound upgrade kit feeler

[phenryiv1]

All I can say is WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE STOP LOOKING AT THE DAMN RADIO! Good lord, buy a $150 deck at Walmart and you get everything you need, great performance and all the neat-O features, USB, Bluetooth, AUX, decent color matching, all of the above and a subwoofer level control too...and the only complaint is that its ugly? I agree, it's ugly, but its job is to make music and that to me is priority #1. I have zero tolerance for dancing light displays or bright blue lights (thus my hatred for Alpine) in the middle of an orange lightfield, but you don't have to put up with that anymore. There are LOTS of great choices, and it isn't like a deck is a permanent change to the dashboard, they come right out if something better comes along.

However, no matter how much I rant, the fact is that it's your car. If you can deal with the performance hit, (way better than a CD43, thats for sure) it does look very nice and aside from FM, works really well.

I bought a fairly loaded Pioneer single DIN deck on Crutchfield for $99 with 3 4v preouts, HD radio, Sat -ready, etc. Ugly? Sure. But who cares? Not this guy.

Nah, I hate all of the equally.

LOL

Seriously enough, competition in that sector is intense that they are all pretty good.

I hear ya.
I'll hit up Sonic or Walmart.

Thanks,

Getting some good feedback on our site...who else has them in?

Everyone know how to install them? Any questions?

[StereoInstaller1]

Alright guys, I think all of you should have them by now...questions? Who besides ClavinZero has theirs installed?

Finally completed my install last night. The crossovers are too purrty to hide. So they are mounted on the top/roof of the footwell and out of direct sight .I have not played with HPF as yet on the amp. Its still set to 100Hz.

First impression is that am extremely happy with how they sound. The tweeters are a tad bright for my taste, But not too bad. I can live with it. However, The mids just blew me away [Using some old E34 speakers here that Luke had used as test speakers, Its not the one recommended in this thread and its still blew me away]. I turned off the subwoofer completely and audition them and its still quite impressive.

I would suggest playing something acoustic with female vocals, Norah Jones was what I had in there. I still need to play with it and install my rear premiums at some point, so far a very happy G.A.S Customer.

Just heard some "Audiophile" recordings in ClavinZeros car.

For those that are into audio history, this was Amanda McBroom on Sheffield Labs CD.

I have never heard any E30 sound anywhere near as good when using the stock positions.

Staging was wide and deep, clarity was amazing, midbass was clean and artculate, all of everything everywhere was just phenominal.

if you have them and haven't installed them yet, please do so. You need to hear these and post up on our facebook page, post here, whatever. Help us spread the word!

Happy 4th of July!

Luke

Any suggestions on alternate tweeters? Looks like they are out of stock for a while...

oh crap, really?

We ran them completely out of all of the values of caps and coils we order, and that is after they have raised their stock levels...hopefully they can buck up their supply system a wee bit.

There is a Vifa that would work, let me see if I can find details. it's a minature "revelator" type so I have concerns about the diaphragm poking out.
