My XB has a radio delete panel. Who needs a stereo when you have a stout Clevo!

Hi mate

I have the premium audio option in my BA and its ok. Better than the standard system. I dont know much about it to be honest, ie the specs. Perhaps someone else with the same can fill us in on that stuff...

By the way, wot = what. Also, its stereos, not stereo's... plurals do not contain apostrophes. Sorry, thats just a pet hate of mine! Hehe. :P

Cheers mate,

Jac

Words such as "thats" do contain apostrophes though as they are shortened versions of "that is" as in "that is just a pet hate of mine" :P

Yep, very true. And I admit to leaving out all of those all the time when I type on here. However, leaving something out on purpose, to me, is a little different actually inserting something which doesnt belong... why would you put an apostrophe in for a plural? Laziness on the net I can understand, but deliberate errors are different.

But yeah, you are right, perhaps I should insert my apostrophes too.

Back on topic though... does anyone have the specs for the BA premium audio though? Seriously I have been curious about this for a while because my ex is really into car stereos etc and he keeps asking me and I have no idea... LOL. I just know it has a subbie on the back parcel shelf and that there is a bunch of speakers around the place... hahaha.

///Alpine Head Unit
Soundstream Front Splits with matching Soundstream Amp

Factory 250W Premium sound in my EL Ghia.

Specs;
Double DIN headunit
Alpine 6 stacker
Alpine Amp
9 speakers including subwoofer

I replaced the front splits with JVC items because the factory ones were worn out. It doesn't sound too bad I guess.

Cool. Yeah its nothing spectacular I guess, compared to some really good systems out there, but its heaps better than the standard one, and better than AU standard as well...

Wouldnt mind upgrading one day!

Edit: oops I didnt see that you said EL ghia... Im still wondering about the BA one then... LOL

EF, What else? · 24-07-2006, 02:24 PM

Can't remember the model names, but I have...

Eclipse Head Unit
Focal 6.5 Splits (Absolutely love the sweet sound)
Eclipse 6" Rears
Alpine Mono Sub
Alpine 4 Channel Amp
Alpine Type S Sub

The Sub lets the whole package down, but I do mean to get it replaced soon

TheSneakiness · 24-07-2006, 02:27 PM

Headunit - Kenwood KDC-8 thousand and something...

Front speakers - Crossfire SX6.0 splits
Amp - Crossfire VR302

Subs - 2x12" Kenwood KFC-W3009
Amp - Kenwood 4 channel 360W (POS)

Goes OK I guess...

In that ute in my avatar.

Same..kinda minus the amp, mine is still stock...lol

I dont want to change the HU either because nothing out there suits the dash, plus there is teh double DIN issue. So its staying stock. I might buy some better speakers but only if the factory ones die.

For a stock system the EL Ghia one is pretty good IMO.

Im sooooo over audio, waste of space and money. As long as it plays what I want I am happy. The only thing I would change is perhaps MP3 compatibility. My VDO/Dayton HU is now in the GF's barina.

Dezza · 24-07-2006, 02:38 PM

I've got a Clarion CD/MP3 player (I had enough of the old tape deck) and I have 180W 6" Clarion 3-way rear speakers. Certainly isn't the best sound system out there, but for $400 it wasn't too bad. Next I'm going to replace the front speakers, as they are crap, and can't compete with the rear speakers.

WILDTRAKPX2 · 24-07-2006, 03:48 PM

Mines gotta wireless!! The old man still uses that term.

poolkeeper · 24-07-2006, 03:48 PM

Ive got an au ute. In it is a pair of JBL 5 by 7's in the doors, and KENWOOD 6 by 9's behind the door. Also a 800w sub, and run by a kenwood 500w amp and kenwood headunit with mp3 and all the goodies,lol

TEaaron · 24-07-2006, 04:21 PM

I've got an XD ute.

4inch 2way Jbl's in the dash (105watts)

6inch 3way sony Xplod's in the doors (220watts)

two channal kenwood amp to run the 6inch door speakers (250watt)

Sony Xplod cdx-r5810 4x52watt head unit.

Actually this is probably easier.

bob^ · 24-07-2006, 04:46 PM

Headunit - Alpine 9860 DVD/Tuner
Fronts - Dynaudio System 240GT
Amps - Caliber CA475, CA2000D
Sub - Earthquake Magma

And an RGB adaptor for the factory screen from http://www.carconverters.com.au/

XplosiveR6 · 24-07-2006, 04:51 PM

Factory BA XT stereo connected to a Poineer 12" sub and poineer 2ch amp, definately livens up the factory sound!

MYLO_XR6 · 24-07-2006, 04:53 PM

BANDPASS JL AUDIO 10" subby (fills in the spare tyres area perfect)

Never underestimate the bandpass design boxes, even if theres only a 10" subby inside ;)

Luff teh tape sound quality!

AC/DC · 24-07-2006, 06:03 PM

BA Falcon...

Factory Head unit, , through soundstream Line convertor..

Fronts, , , Infinity Reference 6" Splits.
Rear , , , , Infinity Kappa 6x9
Sub , , , MTX Thunder 6000 10" In bandpass....ported box..

MTX Thunder Pro 4 Channel running Speakers.
Lightning Audio Bolt Mono Amp running Sub...

Sounds Excellent off the factory unit. We hooked up a pioneer DEHP4850 to the amps to see how much better it would sound, , and it sounded a "bit" better, , but not worth having the extra unit installed in the tissue box.

The bandpass tube comes through the shelf, , right in the middle of the back shelf, , I covered it with a 4" grille painted the same colour as the trim.

Excellent sound from a system you cannot see !

My sound = twin 3" pipes with straight through mufflers of Cleveland music.
No radio in car.

XRated · 24-07-2006, 06:26 PM

Mmm some Eclipse head units

I was going to get one myself but didn't like the lack of detachable face. I settled for an Alpine 9835. Sweet unit....

One day I'll have the rest of the equipment match the quality of the head unit :P
