First hello to everyone, this is my first post on this forum. My wife and I have just bought a new Fiat 500 1.3 JTD Lounge in Funk white which we should get on Monday (it's at the dealers but needs taxing)
I wont be driving the car that much but want it to perform a little better so am looking to book it in for the fitting of one of the DTP boxes to boost performance. Once I have I'll post how it goes as I am planning to do before and after rolling road tests.
For now what I need help with is the stereo. Much as I love the 500 the standard stereo is pants so I was keen to here the interscope unit. I finally found a 500 with it on and I have to say that it too was pants, though marginally less so than the standard one. So rather than spend the £250 on the upgrade I am planning to upgrade the unit myself (well get soemone else to for me).
I am thinking at the moment of repacing the speakers, fitting an amp, and an underseat subwoofer. Nothing crazy in terms of output but good quality and loud enough to be heard over my daughters whinging.
So the questions I have are these, is the inetrscope head unit diferent to the normal one and if it is does it have pre-outs and what size are the tweeters and the speakers in botht the front and the rear?
I did read a good post with pictures someone did showing the interscope components but there were no dimensions or other info.
Any help apprecated and I will be sure to keep the post up to date once my upgrades are done for everyone to see.
