av8tor2 - What are the inherent problems with Alpine that you are referring to? Plus, that's very nice of you to get your car a X-mas gift. I might have to do the same for my S.

Lucid - Where did you get your European spec Alpine deck? Any of the big boys (Circuit City, Goodguys, Crutchfield) have it?

thanks guys.

 

I had to call for some favors for from my UK friends to so I could develop a rear speaker system for their OEM cars. Since I test each and every harness I build with the radio this is must for my quality checks.

You won't get a UK radio here. Remember that the FCC dominates and sets standards.

 

hey av8tor2,

how was the install of those polks? was it pretty simple or was the fitment quite difficult to achieve. im kinda interested in purchasing the ex component system and was wondering what the price is for those speakers.

i was also wondering if the polk ex 2560 were an older model because i was trying to find them in crutchfield, but they didnt have them but did have a polk ex 3560

The Ex3560 just came out for next year, so the Ex2560 are this years model. I paid right at $250.00 for the speakers and the install.

I didn't do the install myself, had the shop do it, and it took under an hour, so it has to be a simple install.

 

are you having an amp running the speakers or are you just having the headunit power them? also hows the bass on them? i was wondering if they hit alot harder then the POS OEM ones.

 

Just the POS right now. Powering the speakers...

The BASS hits a lot hard than stock. With the stock I couldn't feel it on my leg, but with this setup I can.

This is going to be three to four month change, for the stereo in my S2000. I am planning on adding an amp, and rear speakers, and a better head unit (mp3).
