Stereo System in New 172

[Gambler]

Could any of the lucky people who have recently received their 172s after a long wait, please tell me which stereo system it came with, the 4x22W or the 4x40W.

I ordered my car the back end of July and am expecting it any day now.

Thanks

mine is an 02plate and has a 4x40w as far as i know all 172s should have the 4x40w units and its an option on the dynamiques

4 x 40 my arse

What ever it is, its the crapest piece of electronics ive ever seen.

Change it the day you take delivery.

Its the Cup that comes with the 22w one, the normal sport should have the more powerful one.

Yeah as the others said its irrelevant cos its all sh*te. The only half decent thing is the wiring which is quite thick. Ive ripped mine out and replaced the head unit wqith a pinoeer mp3, kenwood sub and amo in the boot and kenwood components up front. Sound really nice, not to bassy just right really. Nex thing Im doing is replacing the rear quater speakers and sorting a boot inbstall.

Im hoping its half decent as I cant afford anything else after forking out for the new motor.

I was looking in the current clio brochure and is says 4x40W(replacing the 4x22W). Why do Reno have to keep arsing round with the stereo spec. I had to pay 300 notes for the changer as an option.

It is a half decent system, its not on the levels of quality that people like us expect, but even if you just upgraded the speaker (which is why is sounds crap) then you will get a great sounding system.

Picked mine up friday, came with 4x40w stereo, not too bad for a factory fit stereo.

 

[visceral]

what speakers do people recommend for a straight swop?

Mine vibrate and distort like buggery when trying to play Slayer at anything over 20.

I got infinity css for the front, sounds pretty good (ive got a sony headunit). Pain in the arse came when sorting the crossovers out.

Cost about £120

I just got kenwood components but didnt bother fitting the X overs. The difference in sound is barely noticable anyway (between fitting the extra crossovers) the mids in the front doors do get bass/mid range signal but cos theyre 13cm they can take the bass without distorting.
