Guest Silver S40 Bullet Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Alright I have a 2000 S40 1.9 TI am looking to upgrade the Speakers, CD Receiver and add some bass. But I have no idea what fits in my car and none of the places around, that i have talked too can't really tell me what fits and how well it will sound. Please help me! I am on the last of the stock speakers and looking to upgrade. just want some help in finding out some good equipment and maybe a wiring guide for my car as well.Thanks!

Kibim Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hmm. One of my friends (Sinbad on VS) has upgraded his 2000 S40 sound system. Using 2 amps, both with active cross-overs, he's running the stock door and dash speakers off one of them, and a 10 or 12" (can't remember) in the trunk off the other amp. Highpass filter on the stock speakers with a good amp produced an incredible result, both clarity and volume! The sub just pushes the low end! And it pushes hard. He's running a Pioneer aftermarket single height HU. It's a really good sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinbad Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 HiyaAm running a Pioneer Premier head unit. Chosen for its 3 Pre-outs and decent MP3 performance...The amp driving the doors/dash is a Clarion APA 4100 (ancient) that I've had stashed away for years. Original radio was the HU501 if I remember right. Radio/Tape (no cd) so I don't imagine the speakers were anything special, but they sound pretty damned good now The amp driving the Sub is an 800W Starsound. Not known for its clarity, but with bass who needs it? The clarion amp is a very clear one.I am not using the crossovers on the amps - the headunit has all the functionality built in (HPF at 80hz on the one amp, LPF@125Hz on the sub out - I like some crossover between the two)Sub is a 12" infinity custom built into a box by my local audio shop.There's pics at http://www.keybaud.org/gal/volvo It's not necessarily the neatest installation on the planet, but it sounds ok ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
