Sounds Good
So I outfitted my car recently with new sound system components, and now my CDs sound glorious. Given that driving around whilst listening to music is one of my top three favorite leisure activities and that I had recently blown out a second of the four factory speakers, the time was ripe for an overhaul. Now gracing my 2000 Galant are four Polk db650 speakers, a Pioneer DEH-P4800MP head unit, and a Kenwood KSC-SW1 subwoofer. One can scarcely overstate the improvement in the clarity and power of the music-listening experience in the Brade-mobile since I upgraded. The installation itself was pretty fun, even though my car required much more effort than most vehicles would demand. I had to remove the entire back seat and peel plastic away from parts of my car I barely knew existed. It was fairly grueling and time-consuming, but I could not be more pleased with the finished product.
Normally I would not post a “look what I bought” anecdote, but in this case I feel inclined to recommend these fine items to anyone who, like me, loves to pop in a favorite CD and cruise the streets wantonly. One of life’s simple pleasures has now been made all the more enjoyable because of a few upgrades. By the way, I got the speakers and CD player at Crutchfield and the subwoofer at Techronics—it pays to shop around for the best price.
Impressive! The head display looks quite nice.
I’m sure you can remember back when I tried to upgrade my wares and got pwn4d on ebay for 200 dollars by some guy from California.
:(
I do remember that debacle. Hopefully he got his just desserts somehow.
Polk makes some great speakers. I haven’t heard their car stuff, but their home theater stuff is pretty good. Enjoy!
While I’m on the topic, “friends, don’t let friends buy Bose!”
I envy. I want to have cool speakers in my car.
Hmm… now that I think of it, I did notice the prodigious new speakers in the back of your car over the weekend. Very nice. My Jetta has decent speakers, but… the CD is kaputt geworden. Not cool. Mind if I borrow your car sometime???
hey dude, l like your site. hope things are going well. I just installed a new sound system in my car last week, and it sounds decent. no where near the kind of stuff you have though. have fun cruisin’!
