Morning All,

My 1st post (as I now have the car) but have been lurking for a few weeks.

Can you please help me with the location of the CD changer and sub woofer in the 100HP.

I ordered mine via a broker via the web and never got to see a car before mine turned up on a transporter on Saturday.

As I was very exited I failed to fully inspect the inside to see if all the requested options were fitted. It now seems as though I am missing the above items. Before I go ballistic at the supplier I want to make sure I/m not making a 'numpty' mistake,

I have pics of the car in all it's glory on my Flickr site here.

These include a pic of under the drivers seat which is where I am lead to belive the sub should be?

Hope the collected wisdom of this forum can help

Thanks

Darren

Hi Darren, congratulations on having such good taste as to buy a 100HP and to join the FF! Nice photo set you have there too.

I'm sure someone will be able to clarify this sub-woofer thing; I'm sure I read on here somewhere that yes it should be under the driver's seat. However, when I asked my local dealer he wasn't able to confirm this (he said it was "unlikely") and he suggested it would be in the boot taking up the space above the n/s/r wheelarch (as in Mk2 Puntos). But I guess you would have spotted that by now!

Subwoofer should definitely be under the drivers' seat - see a pic of mine:



I do not have a CD changer (decided they were a bit 1990s), but my dealer said they'd probably put it in the boot if I had one. Have you looked under all four seats for the CD change? Its not a very big car to hide things in!

Thanks guys.

I have had a good look around, as you say Trefor, it's not a big car Can't see anything, under my drivers seat is all empty.



Only went with the CD player as I don't like having loads of CDs in the car (they rattle when cornering hard) so a MP3 CD player is a great option for me. 8-12 Albums per disk x 6. More than enough for me.

What do you think the chances that the wiring is in place?

I will get onto the dealer this afternoon.

Shame about this as otherwise the car is fantastic. I have had a varied mix of different cars including a Toyota MR2 Roadster, MINI Cooper S and Jaguar S-Type R and this rates highest in the bang per $. Light like the MR2, handles like the MINI and nearly as many toys as the Jag (not the same in a straight line though 400BHP was pretty quick).

Cheers

Darren

Excellent Taste Darren picking White
Where did you get that Red Scorpian from it looks brill

The white looks superb mate - Enjoy!!

Cheers everyone,

It took a bit of effort to get the wife to agree to white but I think it stands out. Not that the other colours are bad just white is a bit more 'left field' and I needed that after 5 blue or black cars in a row.

The red scorpion came from eBay, I was so exited that I had this 4 weeks before the car sat on my desk teasing. The link to the seller is here.

White is blatently the best!
That makes three white owners on here now.
Go us!

The multichanger if fitted is in the glovebox and I hate to break bad news to you but it's only the dashboard headunit that plays MP3's, not the multichanger it only plays normal cd's otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with it either

Sounds like I've benefited from not having the changer them

Will still chase to have the sub fitted as the standard speakers seem a little under powered. Unless anybody has a better solution for the £400 I will save?

You could buy an after market component set (6.5" woofers + tweeters) and install it like I did.

If need be, you could also buy a component set for the rear doors (5.25" woofers + tweeters).

You do need to cut a bit to fit the tweeters but it's not that hard

You could even fit a 4-channel amplifier to drive all the speakers or perhaps a 5-channel amplifier if you plan to install a subwoofer in the boot.

But I would say, that buying a component speaker set for the front doors is money well spend. I paid 1199DKK (ca. £110) for my Rainbow SLX-265 Deluxe component set and 299DKK (ca. £28) for a set of front door speaker frames for the Panda.
