JL Audio!!!
« on: 04 August 2008, 00:36 »
Hello every one...been a while since iv posted on here!! Hope every ones alright and enjoying their summer holiday if they have any! Been working over summer so i have quite abit of money saved. Decided it would be a good idea to treat my car to some goodies. As every one else seems to comment the OEM sound isnt as good as an Aftermarket set up so i decided to go for a new speaker set up. Iv ordered a pair of speakers for tthe front doors, a pair for the rear doors, an amplifier and a "Cleansweep" oem interface thingi. All the bits and bobs iv ordered are from JL Audio, items are as follows:

JL Audio TR400 : http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_components.php?comp_id=59
JL Audio ZR650: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_components.php?comp_id=65
JL 300/4 Amp : http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps.php?amp_id=437
Cleansweep: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_cleansweep_pages.php?page_id=79

To be honest i did not want to change the oem head unit as i am rather happy with it and i am just about starting to get used to it. This is the reason why i decided to give this cleansweep interface a try. Cant really say i know any one whos used it but im willing to take the plunge and to find out!  :smiley:

Decided not to go for a sub and amp at the moment at the moment as im looking into getting a gruppe m air intake and possibly a miltek cat back too!

All this is good news but some bad news....was driving up the rock on a narrow road when some f**k*r managed to clip my mirror...the mirror casing is scratched, indicator smahsed and so is the mirror lens. VW quoted £240 just for the mirror and i dont really think i have much choice...any suggestions??  :smiley:

Thanks for reading, look forward to your comments!!  :smiley:

Looks like a good setup there Manu, I will be very interest on your feedback on the cleansweap unit once you have fitted it as I want to consider speaker/amp upgrades in the future but don't want to drop the OEM headunit.

Sorry to hear about the wing mirror scrap.

Everything i bought, i chose to buy off eBay as authorised dealer prices are abit too much for a set of speakers imo...wasnt in a rush to get them and dont mind having to wait a week or two for them to come from america.
All the prices i am about to state are as from what i can remember as i really cant be arsed to look them up again!
TR400 - £60
TR650 - £250
300/4 - £200
Cleansweep - £200

Still waiting for all the bits and pieces so no update really but once iv got everything together il let you know how it goes!  :smiley:
