bmdubya1198 59 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hell yeah, Evolution, Trial by Fire, and Raised on Radio for $8! Now to find some early stuff lol. I think that's what you were trying to do for your red R, right Jared? Black faceplate 901? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
(n)A-GAME 1,200 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I maintain that the stock 901 system with paper speakers and all rivals most setups on these cars. It truly is a fantastic sounding system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It truly is a fantastic sounding system. I agree with this. A few years back @Aequitas_Veritas and I installed a full set of Alpine SPS-610C speakers in my wagon, but ultimately I thought it sounded better with the stock speakers, and the addition of a HU-901 + C70 amplifier. We eventually removed the Alpines and went back to stock, and I've been happy with it since. Could use a little more bass before distortion occurs, but otherwise no complaints.

bmdubya1198 59 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I love the sound of my 901 and 4x50 amp. I've been thinking about upgrading the speakers, but now I'm leaning towards just figuring out which ones are blown and replacing those with junkyard speakers. It's sure as hell cheaper! Lol They're not too bad, but at higher volumes they're very distorted with more bass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had some Alpine Type S's in my old S70 (fronts only) and they were a decent upgrade. But I've had a set of Rockford Fosgates sitting here waiting for my V70R for 3 or 4 years and I just can't bring myself to start messing with them. That and the Dynaudio setup in my XC90 are two of my favorite factory systems. The upgraded Harman/Kardon system in our new XC60 doesn't even sound as good to me as the older units, though I will say the B&O option in the new cars is fantastic but costs silly money. And, keeping us on topic...the yellow is about to get a full mechanical makeover. FCP paid a good chunk of their rent off of me this week 🤣 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You’ll have a lot more options for upgraded/hybrid K24s. I wanted to stick with the 18T so it’s a nice direct replacement for the 18T I already have on the car. It’s my daily driver and I don’t wanna deal with the downtime/hassle of a K24 swap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was the reason I went with a K24 from an 18t, was because of how easy and straight forward of a swap it was. I do get it though, its not an exact direct bolt on, need lines and water pipe. I ended up going with an RN engine anyways in the end though so its come full circle lol. S70 is going into Daily status here in a few months, so itll be a fun daily driver for awhile lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyb5 3,178 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I already have an RN car (00 chassis and 04 engine) but yeah the water pipes and downpipe are the 2 things I don’t wanna deal with (because AWD) in the car - I’m gonna be working on jack stands so that influenced my decision. I also wanna see what the 18T is like once we really turn it up. Maybe a bit of E85 for fun? Only time will tell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmsgltr 1,948 Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 you are more willing to play with e85 than put a k24 in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warric 0 Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I recently purchase vinyl cutter for my business from this place.This electronic cutting machines carve images out of vinyl, card stock, iron-on transfers—some can even cut leather and wood. They’re a powerful tool for all crafters, whether you DIY everything or just want to make a few stickers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Need some new FLVC vinyls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
