My 172 was fine but i think 182 sounded a little better and had some writting in the corner of the headunit.....this could be it

The full fat one in the 172 is uprated from the cup one . I think the cabasse headunit in the 182 is just a newer version .

the doorcards i bought came from a FF.

they had some good quality "-blaupunkt-" speakers in there...my old ones were shoddy ones that weighed f**k all!

I think it is... The speakers are Bose which are I think 40 watts each?.

40watts RMS

The FF model comes with a 4x40W system instead of a 4x15W version I think. TBH though, while the 40W version is loud, it is seriously lacking in bass. When I bought my 172 one of the things I considered was that I wouldn't have to mod the stereo system, but the standard setup isn't great tbh. Good quality, just lacking bass.

40WATTS !! are you been serious? aren't these 13cm speakers?

40watts RMS

40 watts RMS would be quoting a higher figure than 40 watts.

What exactly is RMS?

Root Mean Square.... Meaning what though?

According to the heritage section on renaultsport.co.uk you either got a cabasse 4 x 40w in the full fats and 4 x 22w in the cup versions .

I remember in my ff 172 i had blaupunkt speakers which weighed a fcukin tonne , the cup speakers are different again , they weight next to nothing compared to the ff's .

the average of the average basiclly or 0.7074 iirc

Normally values quoted are RMS or PMPO.

RMS is likely to be a lower value and is the averge power.

PMPO is likely to be a higher value and is the peak power.

I think RMS value is a better indicator of the power of the speaker.
