Did you go for 5 channel or 4 channel?

And... what put you off fitting it under one of the front seats?

as said in other posts it a 5 channel and too big to go under the seat.  I wanted it in the boot anyway for when i add a sub as its then as simple as connecting the cable

So, let me get this right....

The amp receives signal from headunit and then amps it before sending to the OEM fitted speakers?
Obviously then allowing a sub to be added as well?

That's correct :happy2:

I'll try and get some quality pics of the back of it in a bit.  There are loads inputs/outputs and loads of adjustment

Not a problem mate.  I'd hold off until ive got the sub sorted for the full effect :smiley:

On the subject of subs.  How much difference is there between 12" subs?

I've seen this one for example http://www.bluespot.co.uk/stock/spkr0_4.asp which is £50 delivered and rrp at £120.  Do you guys think this will sound okay??

I went to bass junkies yesterday and he was suggesting this one http://www.bassjunkies.com/audio/mb-quart-dwg-304 which is £180 with a box.   Does it really justify the extra cost??  I just want to increase the bass a little so i can take some of the train off the standard speakers?

I remember the missus having a little 100W sub (factory fit) in the boot of her punto sporting a few years back and that sounded awesome to me, surely the £50 above will be reasonable?

Cheers

Ryan

Will this have the same effect on the MFD2 or is just on the RNS510?

If it does then will be interested in the GroupBuy obv subject to ££££.

All,

I've heard back from bluespot.

They will quote us a group buy price (unknown currently) if we can get 10 people interested.

Thanks,
Lee.

Winyra -  Can you still use all the headunit controls as normal or is there a separate set of controls as in the Cleansweep?

Thats great news CocoPops - what numbers are we up to at present?  Will they not commit to a discount figure or % as if its generous then I'm sure more people may be interested   :happy2:

I'm also interested but I have concerns over whether it affects the Bluetooth phone kit at all.

Yes, you use the head unit as normal.  The amp gives you control over gain, low pass and high pass for front speakers, rear speakers and subwoofer.  I'm just beginning to understand what they all do and how to adjust them.  I should hopefully be getting a sub delivered tomorrow and report back as to how it sounds.  At the moment i'm really pushing the bass limit on the standard speakers so im looking forward to being able to deliver the bass from the sub and taking some strain away from the standard speakers.   There is only so much the little standard speakers can do, I was initially blown away by the difference but it seems you just want more and more :smiley:

It amps the speakers, doesnt effect anything else, so you should be fine
