hi guys. right i have just paid £150 for a 100watt subwoofer which is a factory fit. Since then i have been thinking...is it really worth it? i mean you can buy proper 1000watt subwoofers for that sorta money. so i just have a few questions. If i was to upgrade the sound system would i invalidate the warranty? secondly anyone know any people in the north-west area who specialise in Fiat? cheers in advance

it wouldnt invalidate it but anything that breaks that could be because of the installation of the stereo they probably wouldnt pay out for
cheers for the quick reply. thats the thing im worried about. i dont want to have a problem and then the fiat people start blaming my installation!
a solution i could try is maybe ask them to arrange the installation for me? so they would approve everything etc this has been done before. hmmm btw is the head unit which comes as standard any good for an upgraded sound system? because i would not really want to change it.

well you would need to upgrade it really, really you shouldnt of got the sub as that would of paid for a new head unit.
really you want a new head unit, an amp to power front speakers, an amp to power sub, and a sub woofer and box and new front speakers, and disconnect rear ones.

hmmm erm...well im sure i could still cancel the sub. but i need 2 make the mental leap of forking out money to buy the kit and install lol. as i do need my boot aswell is there any change the sub can be sunk or put into the sidewall? also i would be willing to spend around say 600-800 pounds. wt could i get for tht?
for 600 you could get
headunit- 200
front speakers- 100
sub- 100
amp-200
wiring would be 50 probably
and then if your go upto 800 get better amp and front speakers and yes cancel the sub

well i paid £260 for me unit off ebay that was cheap at the time as my unit still goes for £350.00 in the shops as its the bluetooth one paid £90.00 for me sub and thats pre amped and the sub is 1000 watt and paid £35.00 for me front door speakers and finaly the wiring kit £20.00 and the cd plastic facia was £7.50 from ebay and to get it fitted paid £30.00 to a auto electrican to do it for me so my sound system cost me
£422.50 including fitting a think thats ok

Hi there!
Didn't wanna start new thread so I'll ask here.
I've just bought new Pioneer DEH5800MP HU (payed bit under 150 euros for it) and since my new GP is arriving next week I'd like to know just a bit 'bout installing HU in it. Actually, my question is pretty much simple one. At this point I do not have enough money to install any 'seriously sounding' soundysytem in it so i just wanna plug my current Pioneer in and play it on factory speakers.
Do I just plug it in or I will need to swap those famous red and yellow wires. If i need to make any adjustments, what are they and how complicatet is it? I'm not afraid of wiring and rewiring. That's what I actually enjoy doing (not that I'll rewire if I don't need to... :] ).
Thanx!
