I've given up on the Bluepower unit, they used to reply with information about a release date, last time I asked (which was after the previously promised date) they didn't even bother to reply. I can only conclude that the unit doesn't work.

Well, the install is finished and I'm really pleased with the result - the system sounds amazing!
Standard head-unit going into an AudioControl LC8i processor to connect the iPod directly to a Phoenix Gold equalizer with a 200w Rockford Fosgate amp driving a set of RF Audiophile mids and tweeters. A 100w Rockford Fosgate amp drives a Diamond Audio 12" sub which is the only item installed in the boot. All the electrics are fitted underneath the front seats and are protected by custom built MDF covers. Stealth is the key! A power cap is used but only because I owned it anyway and at least it prevents the headlamps from dimming when the amps are being worked! Huge thanks to K & M Acoustics of Wigan who did a superb job installing a system which majors on sound quality. My preferred choice of music centres around jazz and classical and if you think that a sub is wasted on classical music you should hear it when the Chartres Cathedral organ kicks in during Saint-Saens symphony and Wagner's Ride Of The Valkyries has you ducking for cover. While i love the sound that this system produces I really miss not having iPod control through the head unit which is sadly lacking due to the complications of the Volvo electronics. I guess that the system (including installation costs) is somewhere in the order of around £4000 but this is the third car I've fitted it to and what price quality? Traffic jams? - Bring 'em on ! |

The general consensus on here and elsewhere is cheap sound upgrades are pointless and for any real improvement you need to go the whole hog which is complex and very expensive. What exactly are you hoping to achieve? |
