I've upgraded today from nothing to a panasonic HU in Fake (that used to be in Beast) Volvo paper cones don't sound quite as good as Kar's set up though :(

Any time chap ;)

I've got as much bass as you could reasonably want in an SQ system (with or without the shelf), and it uses virtually zero boot space. I lost very little going from a huge box to a tiny stealth one (at the same time as a driver upgrade!)

cheers

As of Monday, my 4 channel amp has turned into a 2 channel amp - nice! Time to take it apart!

Before you start poking aroud in the amp be 100% certain that it's the amp and not your pre-amp adaptor, the blaupunkt preamp adaptor is poentially very dodgy!

Already tested - its not that all the rca's are working, it really is definitely the output channels 3 and 4 on the amp!

Most of the boot space is taken up by 120ltrs of lpg tanks.

Having just taken Fake out I can now remember why I changed the speakers in Kar, I didn't remember them being that bad :( Ahh well, needs must, new cones when i get some pennies

I've just had my back pounded by my mates subwoofer on a trip to tescos., rather uncomfortable, although the seats themselfes wern't bad *feels a traitor for making good comment about corsa*

Boot space abysmal compared to a 300 even without the sub

I've been a passenger in both a Mk1 and Mk2 Corsa - and I found the seats to be diabolical. Although I find this with most other cars I've been in compared to the 360. One thing that Volvo got right with the 300, were the seats...

Note sure what mark, the one before the newest

The journeys I've made in it have only been 2 miles so no long haul judjements.
