    Default My new Audio Setup.

    Went out and spent a nice little sum of 1100 this afternoon.

    Lifestyle store is just that little bit more richer now!

    Anyway; I ended up leaving with some German Maestro 4" CC4008 Speakers, a Hertz 800W 4-Channel Amp; and left a deposit on the Focal Bus25 Under Seat Sub.

    People have been very reluctant to review these Bus25 subs, but i'll be sure to post both a video, and a description of it. My previous vehicle had a good 12" enclosed sub. It was loud enough to make me feel sick in the stomach; and had clarity and kick to boot, so; i'll compare the Bus 25 to just that!

    Going to use Darren's Step by Step guide to get my head around installing this job; and after tuning; i'll pop right back in here and fill you all in!

    sounds cool...but why'd you go the underseat sub?
    and which seat you mounting it under??
    I'm assuming you have a vp berlina?

    Yeah, VP berlina. My mission here; is to keep this vehicle as unmolested and tidy as I possibly can.

    Putting the Bus25 under the missus' seat, and seating the amp under mine to keep my butt warm. :P

    Not different, but; I'd just prefer to have everything concealed. Out of site; out of mind right? Haha.

    Will do! Pics, videos. I'll write up the whole 9-Yards on it.

    Lifestyle store sell quality gear and are generally good blokes, sounds like you have a nice setup there mate. And that focal bus sub hits very hard! I was surprised the first time I heard one under a seat. Top stuff, good to see some more people with quality gear. How are you finding the tweeters on the Maestro's? I find them too harsh myself (they are metal dome?) but they still offer a refined sound.

    For the size it hits well, nothing compared to having a 12" with 500wrms in your boot, but considering the size I was impressed. All in one too.
