I know exactly what you mean, as we had the same problem when turning it any volume past 18, as im the one who likes to hear my songs, especially any that has high bass (Dubstep) We got the Alpine HU, much more solid than our Pioneer Stereo. Upgrading the HU alone will give a massive...

Well all has been done and installed last week as planned, and sounds really perfect now, everything crystal clear with the punchy sub back where it belongs, a lot to spend but well worth it in the end. Will ask my other half to take some pictures as she owns the car and is a much better...

Our 197 will never be a track car, which means most creature comforts wont ever be disappearing. In fact, we are about to add more weight to it tomorrow when we go to a pro-install to upgrade the whole sound system. Apart from panel filter & remap, there is not really anywhere else to go...

As the 197's have been tweaked and modified by Renault over the years, and with it being a N/A engine, is there any mods on the car that actually make a noticeable difference? The only thing that seems to make a difference is an ITG Panel filter, but the amount of other mods I have seen, they...

Tomorrow is the day that I get everything pro installed. Will all be done by around 3PM, so will be really looking forward to hearing the new pumping sound system that this car really deserves! £535 well spent I am hoping :thumbsup:

If thats the case then I will ask him when we take the car in on tuesday if he can do that for me, because he will have to have the door cards off and have to feed the wires to the sub, so I dont suppose it will cause much more work to put the wires through for the front speakers as well...

No it isnt an all-in-one, it was a Pioneer Sub with an enclosure that they were selling at the time, specifically for the sub. If this amp is better at powering the front speakers as well, I might ask the guy on the spot if he can power the Sub & the front speakers to the Amp, therefore...

After the money im shelling out for this new sound system, I wont have the funds available for changing it for something else. I assumed he was selling me this Amp based on it having to power the sub, as I am not sure what works best with what when it comes to this. Are you saying it will...

I have asked for the sound deadening now. He said that they put sound deadening around the speakers anyway, but I have asked for extra to sound deaden the whole car, especially as there will now be a sub in the boot. He only charged me £35 fitted, so very cheap considering what I was...

How much does sound deadening cost? And how much sound deadening would I be needing?

Im hoping that he would be doing that, I suppose as long as we mention it when we take the car in to make sure, as the car is going to be loaded with lots of expensive speakers, it will be more mandatory to have the sound deadening. At least the back speakers will be more top of the range...

Its booked!!!! :jump1: Booked in for next tuesday now, and having a shedload of installs done: Alpine Headunit (already bought) replacing standard and fitting this one Front Pioneer Speakers (£100 ones) supply & fit (2 hour job) Back Pioneer speakers supply & fit Subwoofer (already...

Oi! None of that you! If I did decide to upgrade the back speakers at the same time, could anyone recommend ones to go for? Im getting the £100 pioneers for the front, so hopefully not something wallet busting for the back speakers

I would like to keep the rears as I want sound in the whole of the car, not just in front, as I prefer "surround sound" but as they will not be Pioneer specials they will have to be cranked right down so they dont crackle when the volume is up high. Would it be worth replacing them with...

Would be nice if it makes the music in the car sound better, but to be honest most of the time there will only be me & my other half in the car
