yeah different door cards but most S60s had these style of door cards as standard so I'll was just going to pick some up from a local breakers or eBay.

Our SE models would have had the Hi-Performance 200watt system as standard, the 300w premium set up was an option until the SE LUX came in which had it as standard.

I've heard the sub makes a good improvement, would you recommend? its about £100 or so isn't it?

If you can find one - I got one for £110 on eBay but I was lucky that no one else was bidding that day. I definitely recommend it - the lack of bass is the main problem with the hi-perf system in my view. Also, playing a decent source through the system makes a hell of a difference - a Grom with large MP3 files on a USB stick does the job.

I suppose the other option is to fit alternative speakers.

All being well I've now sorted the speakers.

If you have the amp though that would be useful

(may have just messaged you on eBay?)
