Speaker upgrade and Subwoofer install

[AndyPembs182]

I’m thinking about installing a sub and upgrading the speakers in my 182 - nothing ridiculous: I’m 43 now and went through THAT stage a few years ago! There are, however, times when I switch from Radio 4 to something slightly more contemporary....
