audio install. (it may give people some ideas)
The car was given to Audio Advice in Hillington (great company). Iain and I then discussed the options of what I wanted from the install, I told Iain that I would like the wee car to have a sound system that was quite loud without distorting the quality BUT most of all I want it all fitted discreetly keeping the overall appearance that the car has no stereo.
Well the car far exceeded my expectations, it sounds absolutely amazing and
the best bit is most of it can't be seen (if you are just walking past), just waiting on the tailor-made boot mat to be finished.

looks great and sounds even better
the sound of a 45 webber or twin su's are hard to beat though

first time I've seen a TW5 plumbed in as well - what amp is running that bad boy ? is it all running from the JL 4 channel ?

probably one the best considered and executed installs I have seen in a very long time - very very nice
first time I've seen a TW5 plumbed in as well - what amp is running that bad boy ? is it all running from the JL 4 channel ?
I was running a JL Audio HD600/4 4 Channel Amplifier but it is back in at Audio Advice to have
a HD900/5 - 900 Watt Four Channel amp fitted (500 watts to the sub)
Also got the seats and door cards re-covered in leather (but still trying to keep it looking original)
Also took the D1s off and fitted reverse rims
Getting a dash made for it and have a set of MX5 seats going in for long trips (IMM in a few weeks) will
post pictures when these things have been done.

However I've seen and heard Billys Mini on many occasions and I can vouch for the volume and quality it produces. Amazing but an awful lot of money......
