They're right..... this does belong in the Electronics forum.

No sweat, I'll move it over there, and if the UBB's still workin' the same, all replies will be posted in the thread over there from here on.

Let's see if this works....

[B]I have the same setup as Zippy (same installer). It's really, really much better then what was in there.

Zippy, question though, have you EVER had a problem with the speakers clipping at high volume because of too much bass.

Thanks Ken.

It is more of a problem during radio listening. Just wanted to make sure it just wasn't me. Thanks again.

For a bit of a chronological history of my audio upgrade go to my Audio Upgrade page.

From my initial desire for new speakers I ended up with a new head (with Pinky's Audio Controller), changer, amp, and Neo MP3 player. It gets addictive .

I added Infinity 6.5" coaxials and a 35W/ch amp connected to the stock head unit with a line conveter (converts to high level speaker output wires to a low level input for the amp). The whole business cost $350 and I did the installation. The sound is vastly superior to stock, and much better than the upgraded speakers being driven by the factory head unit alone. Here's a link to a discussion of this type of installation: http://www.s2000online.com/forums/showthre...p?threadid=6904
