230k audio

Was thinking of installing subs, I like how clean the current system is but turning the volume up so high just to get a little bass is annoying I have the bose system and yes I know that it's not that great so I was wondering what I should do. Audio 10 is a good choice I've heard, any place other than ebay I can find that? Also how hard is installation AND uninstallation of an audio 10 or subs, etc... Just wanted to see what options there are and also post pictures and comments of what you have!

audio 10 is good/ adding a sub is also good
Both are easy to do, but to make the sub install look good it will take more effort.

Lightbulb Audio 10

Try doing a search on this site for the Audio 10. There are many with photos of doing the install, etc.

I have the Audio 10. Purchased off of Ebay. Installation took about 30 minutes total. No big deal at all.

I believe a guy who goes by 'Sessions' took a bunch of photos of his Audio 10 install.

The radio is years ahead of the alpine junk your car came with. I have so much more bass now I stopped thinking of adding a sub.

Cheers

You would be surprised how much bass you can get out of the Audio 10. I though I needed a sub and started shopping for one and then I got the Audio 10 and it's plenty of bass. When set at 10 your seat will vibrate with the right song. You don't have to get it on ebay.de, that's definately the hard way. Go to your dealers parts department and order it that way, they can special order it from Germany, costs over $900. Or you can call Gaston at Autoclass.net, they have it for $650. Too bad the dollar has sunk so low, it makes those purchases on ebay at tad more expensive than a few months ago, still worth it, good luck.

Wow my impressions of audio 10 have increased a lot! I read about it a lot in the past but I read some people who didn't think it was much of an improvement. Hmmm I hope I can get a good price on it now...

You might want to check with Steve (MbenzNL(?)). I think he might have some around $225 - $250 shipped.

Check the forums and see if someone in your area has it so you can hear it for yourself. I know I've had about 4-5 people listen to my Audio 10 from this forum including GTIDan above.
