- VY Excecutive S2
Hey people.
First time as a "I want to drive a holden" person.
I have owned a VS, but well have been raised in a ford family.
So next car I got was a AU wagon.
This car was my choice....
When it comes to people, its the insides that count, not the outside. Can look sexy as hell, but if she/ he is evil... looks mean squat.
But when it comes to a car... its def the looks more than the personality LOL
So now I am a WANTing to drive a holden kinda person, cos the fords look crap LMAO
In the VS, I just put a A/M HU, kenwood if I recall. Remote and usb. It was meant to be android compatible... but my galaxy stopped the "showing as drive" in the S3 I think if I recall. Or maybe it was S5 cos S4 still showed as drive when you put it in debug mode., anyways...
I put a pioneer (plug and play with this one, where as the VS was cut and clamped together LOL) in the AU, same thing, usb.
Now for my question....
I now own a 2004 VY S2 Excecutive (why a VY? I been told the VZ and upwards have the alloytech engine and its a lemon (and is a real bitch if the thermo goes)LOL.) it has 170k on the odo and if I am reading the book that came with the car right, was once a cop car/ undercover car.
I am looking to put a system into the car.
I don't want...
"Hear me coming from a mile away"
"Oh ****,... earthquake!!!!"
TV speakers... they be ****... and a 5.1, even if not TRUE 5.1 but PCM... it STILL sounds heaps better!!
So thats what I am after.
Just something that sounds better
I was tempted just to have a go at "splicing" the rear speakers and adding sub/ amp that way... BUT, the radio stations are doing my head in, and im sick of changing cds, all my music on mp3/ phone LOL
Yeah, I could take the HU outta the ford and put it in the VY, but I wanna get with the times, and get bluetooth, and maybe extra
Is it better to have double din (which is kinda always on display, if can't take face off), or single din?
Is it because the stock HU is not all that crash hot that makes the speakers crap?
Will just getting a good A/M Hu make the speakers sound better? Or should I get new speakers too?
I know I also want to get sub and amp.
For something that sounds sweet, but not loud as fk.... what brands/ models etc, do you recommend?
On a tight budget.
(Though, even if I had a million bucks in bank right now, I would still want the same. I do believe I don't need to break the bank to get what I am wanting to hear )
Sorry if I bored anyone of you... I am actually excited bout this car.... and I can feel my mums glare all the way from NSW.
Thanks for reading and any suggestions
