    Default Best audio upgrade for all VN-VP-VR-VS.

    I have been doing a bit of scientific study, and I have come up with a sure fire way to make All the stereos sound better...


    First,


    Take off your number plate.


    Then,

    Put something soft behind it (a rag, some foam.. girlfriends boobies)



    Lastly,

    Replace the number plate.


    You will find that instantly your car will sound 100% less crap, especially if you have subs.


    (to anyone that hasnt picked up, this is sarcasm)

    Doesnt matter how much you spend on equipment, if every panel in your car rattles, then it sounds like ****, especially from the outside... at traffic lights... yes, im talking about the grey VP on Findon Road.

    Anyway, happy easter everyone!

    I agree that rattling sounds ****, but if it sounds good in the car and you are in it, why care what others are hearing?

    Just like some people like power, others like looks. Do you call someone who spends 15 grand on a motor which makes his run-down car run sub 10secs an idiot. or the guy who spends 15 grand on his car to look good, ie. rims, paint, interior, body kit ect.

    My thoughts exactly. My boot rattles from my sub, but i cant hear any rattling at all from the inside so i dont care what it sounds like on the outside. I didnt buy my stereo for people outside my car to listen to, so as long as it sounds good on the inside its all good.
    There are no stupid questions, just stupid people

    Agreed. I didn't buy my car for someone else to drive and I didn't buy my stereo for someone else to hear.

    Also I don't have the time and the money to find and fix every little noise my car makes, just so the people outside can hear some muffled song without rattles.
