Nice Sound vs Heavy Weight

Post by bem_ho » Sat Mar 06, 2004 2:54 am

Which would you prefer?? A nice sound system or light weight??

I have been thinking of inproving the sound system in the car but the heavy weight of those speakers, amps, wires have really put me off!

I prefer really poor quality sound systems with light weight [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Too much is bad.
Plenty is better.

Thanks Riz, how silly of me to forget. No I was actually after some feedback on the weight difference from stepping out of the RS and straight into the CSL [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img], should be quite noticable I would have thought.

Yet to find those 360 horses Riz [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img] Guess its the same with you? Gagging for it, but holding back, holding back [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Gav, the stezzer is pants. Radio 4 is okay, but Astrid Gilberto will never sound the same again [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well it is possible to do both.


OFF TOPIC
Tim - I expect you'll all be run in by Le Mans right? - 1200 miles should suffice shouldn't it - and don't forget the "first impressions" review [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]
