Thread: Roadster owners- what are you doing for tunes in your ride?

Tweet

I have a top end stereo system in the roadster pickup, and two door mounted speakers. Works great around town and up to 40 MPH. After that all I hear is wind noise, canvas flapping, and the odd high decibell screech from the speakers.

It's in the upholstery shop so there's no turning back now.
Plans are for speakers in kick panels, hopefully hidden w/ perforated leather.
Another pair of speakers- these will be component w/ crossovers at panel located next to seat (whatever you call that panel) and head unit partially hidden under the dash w/ remots- and a 6 disc CD changer behind the seat. The Secret Audio is all in a box now- right where it belongs. Right now- head unit will either be Alpine or Eclipse.
I'm leaving it up to the shop to decide.
I'll keep U updated.

Steves32- I was considering Secret Audio because I don't want to be able to see the sound system. If there is something else that I can hide but has better performance I am all ears. Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't mean to jack the thread.

What I have found is- nearly anything out there will have better sound than SecretAudio. The idea of hiding it all behind the seat is what attracted me to it in the 1st place. The difference is AQ between SecretAudio & a quality Alpine head unit is like night & day. Plus- SecretAudio will suck your battery dead in 2-3 weeks. You have to use their CD changer, the display is so small- it's not worth the trouble- plus, it's not backlit at night (the new ones are)
SecretAudio system is expensive. Add a 4 channel amp like I did & you are at $600.00 & that doesn't include speakers or installation. I'm having the head unit installed on passenger side as high as possible so I can see display while riving but you can't see it walking around the vehicle. It will have a full feature remote.

Thank you Steves32, that was very helpful.

We will now rejoin our regularly scheduled thread.
