some massive boot-install, yes, bad idea. but I'm thinking more a small, 200w thing, just enough to fill out below the range of the 6x9s
Box in the 6x9s, they'll be fine.
He's already (seemingly) got front components anyway, so the back is only rear-fill.
Good stuff.
So yeah, alpine + power-pack and those speakers should be pretty good. May sound a bit limp with just normal HU power.
Most people will have a pop about 6x9's because they imagine the Max-Power style of just having them sat on the shelf in full view. Provided your rear shelf has...
There's the bluetooth & USB only ones to look for. About £80 on Car Audio Direct.
No cd/DVD slot, but would you use it if you could just use your phone/ 16gb memory stick?
Alpine amps that plug into the existing car wiring.
Literally zero effort to install.
They're probably not the 4x100 they quote but they are certainly more powerful than a hu on its own and there's only so many watts you need in a Clio anyway
As far as 6x9s go. Since you've got them, may as...
yes.
Just for radio 6 alone.
Mind, if you've got decent coverage in your area for 3g, you can just stream whatever you want to a decent headunit (either through aux-in or bluetooth).
good work on the headunit.
you can use the alpine power-pack amp to double your speaker output without any messing about.
then slap a half-decent all-in-one sub in the boot. Job very done.
meh.
if you get 10% more MPG's than using Tesco blue-stripe fuel, (so, 33, instead of 30) it's pretty much paid for itself. That would mean giving it a fair back-to-back comparison too. Not granny shifting on 95 then giving it the full Paul Walker with V-Power.
Remember that 172s are tuned to...
A full tank of fuel.
It takes about a tankful for the ECU to notice the difference.
Even then, we're talking very slight differences, it's not like you've poured liquid turbo into the tank.
Conversely, you can drive a 6ltr V12 Benz with a 55-plate and it'll be the same tax as a Clio 1*2.
In in the hunt for a decent fiesta 1.25 on a Y-plate. £140 a year for sub-1.5 cars on old-style reg.
Or a dci / Corsa cdi, £30 a year. I could run one if those and still have Listerine for 6...
They've scoped out Boston and the surrounding area as well, this was much earlier in the year though.
I'm sure it's in been in development a while, but there's no point in them making any noise until they've got a decent representative version to show off.
I'd rather wait longer and hope that...
