Needed a little Bass

[Jamest5r]

My new 850 came with a nice jvc head unit, only problem is when you swop out the standard unit you lose the amp and therefore the bass, cant live with tinny sounds so popped down the local chav store and picked up an amp, little bass box and all the wiring for 50 quids

Much better now

Turn it round to face the seat mate. It'll sound better and you won't risk throwing a 24-pack of stella through it lol.

He's right.....bass is omnidirectional, well anything <200Hz is

I know what you mean but the box is angled and sits loverly against the angle of the back seats

[M-R-P]

Mine sounds yummy (but that could be the Infinity dual coil speaker, or possibly the 1000W bridged amp )

U chav James it is correct what mrp said I have for about 5 yrs now had my sub the same way as urs and it was ok but never brilliant what ive done now is laid it flat so its points in the air and the bass and quality is unreal now so get it done

And something better than a pair of bungees to secure it with lol

(I shouldn't take the P155, mine is free to scuttle around the boot at-will! lmao)

[Jamest5r]

Cheers MRP, Graham & Pete, just turned the sub around.......Quality im such a chav

[Tomcat]

I must be getting old when I find the stereo in the R is perfectly adequate as is (well ok, it's maybe a teeny bit tiney

[M-R-P]

Mark (I want a T5 - R.I.P.) gave me some tips on setting - up a sub that worked wonders for mine, depending on what available settings there are on the amp, I could point you in the right direction

[T5frankie]

i'd better turn my sub round then

[M-R-P]

Yeah, you don't wanna look like a chav

Read the 1st post TC, its cos its aftermarket therefore lost the use of the volvo amp , the standard stereo in the mrs v70 is great.

so lay it down or turn it round to face the back seats martin? its a 15" jbl 1000w sub with a 1000w jbl amp

[Jamest5r]

Hmmm... 15"? you compensating for something there Frankie? lol

If there's room under the load cover to turn it round then that'll be better, pointing it up could risk getting stuff dropped on it and that's a big cone to splatter with shopping

Will change myne again then to face front to see how it is

[p fandango]
