i dno mate i had them amped up and i just didn't like them, people always commented on them when in the car saying they weren't very good.
they were brand new aswell

people rate them tho so you might but personally i wouldn't bother, what do you listen to? they aren't good for anything with bass they're quite punchy

the box is shit hot lol feels much better to drive with and picks up in all gears much faster

Alanapone^p · 10th March 2010, 14:11

Cool, glad the box is good... you'll have to keep me informed, i might get one for ours

I'm into punk, metal and rock stuff... everything from boysetsfire to walls of jericho! lol

I don't really need loads of bass but obviously there has to be some to hear the bass drum and guitar!

yeah thats all i wanted all i listen to lis like pop-punk / hardcore and it didn't suffice for that lol

highly recommend the 1.1 lol

Alanapone^p · 10th March 2010, 14:17

yeah, I'm mostly listening to a lot of new york hardcore. Favourites include Sick Of It All, Terror, Ignite, H2O and Madball!

Might get the Herz ones for a about the same price... they were the 2 that were suggested to me anyway. You got any idea's? what do you have now?

i took all my audio stuff out and just run some crappy door speakers , concentrating on other parts with this car. on past cars i've run standard jbl speakers and they've always done the job for me

I don't normally like the whole bright wheels theme, but this is the only one I do like tbh, the whole colour thing hasn't been overdone!!

Love it mate !

Hopefully see it at FCS ?

Couldn't agree more !!!

saxo_mike · 10th March 2010, 14:32

next i desperately need new brakes. mine have plenty of life in them but they are just awful , need to re-buy some gti 180 brakes lol

Alanapone^p · 10th March 2010, 14:34

cool, i might see if i can find someone with a set and have a listen before i buy. Nothing worse than spending £££ on shit sounding stuff. I only want the standard setup uprating not going to be bunging a bass bin in the boot!

Were in the process of moving to our new place this week. I'll post pics of the new garage on here soon...Its MASSIVE!!! plenty of room to get mine stripped out for fcs.

Can't wait. Just need to tart the paint work up a bit and sort some new bumpers! The list of to-do jobs is getting bigger each week lol.

Anyway, i'll stop hijacking your thread.
