Upper din slot is empty, gauges will be fitted whenever, lower din slot has a crap Sony headunit which i cant figure out how to switch it on lol (mine is in for repair again), and then standard speakers in the dash and doors. The D-pillars have been taken out as they are next to useless anyway. Im also thinking of taking the standard speakers out and selling them.

Mine is a Volvo 900 head unit, with the Dynaudio Premium sound system, with a 2005 Volvo bass bin that fits in the wheel, though quite how i wire the bass bin in remains to be seen at the moment......currently its sitting in the garage awaiting me to do some dodgy wiring to the volvo amps under the seat....

Kenny CD/mp3 headunit and ipod controller - no internal amps in use, ipod concealed, 2x phoenix gold amps concealed, Pioneer boxed 12" sub, cheap (and a bit nasty) 5 1/4 inch JBL components in stock locations.
Want to build some half decent door cards for some bigger drivers and build a slot ported box built to.... to many things, too little time!

A radio that came with it, plays Talk Sport and apparently Cassette Tapes. There's a box in the back that CD's go in I believe but I never use it. There are speakers in various places in the car but I don't know what they are or how many.

Hi
850 T5 Newbie here.
I'm gonna rip out the 801 premiun sound tape thing, who listens to tapes now? No body that's who!
Got a Sony CDX6500 CD/DAB Tuner and double din conversion kit.
This is my job at the weekend.
Is it easy to fit a single din and the cubby hole after the OE Cassette is removed? I am hoping it will just be plug and play using the ISO connectors.
Seen some nice ICE on this thread.

lol, no lads, nothing more to show really. I haven't been procrastinating too much, but managed to get my hands on the prototype 5's, and got the front end installed, and since then I've been playing around with getting the PC working (new, 12V power supply), and playing with the RTA setup. I'm ripping the front end out again today and starting it again, as I'm not 100% happy with it, but it wasn't sounding half bad:
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n251/mulletboy2/Misc/DSCF0018.jpg
The boot install seems to get messier and messier, and once I go for the 18" sub and whatever amp, I'm probably going to have to re-think the amp rack, power distribution and so on, so it may be a complete rebuild.. but I need the larger sub to hit the numbers in competition (even Sound Quality competition has minimum SPL figures you have to hit, and the Ovlov really isn't conducive to hitting them, hence the need for silly sized subs).
It's all a bit of a hack at the moment, but I'm loving the sound, so it's hard to find motivation to change it all :lol: I'm waiting on the seller re: the sub, then I've gotta find cash for the new amp that'll be needed and so on.
