Stereo sounds really good! Think there might be one blown speaker though can't quite tell.

Been looking up on how to change it and it's a nightmare has a factory amp! Meaning if you wanna change stuff you have to rip everything out

Wanna put my Alpine Ida x300 in there for iPod choons but it would seem because it's internally amplified it will be quieter and sound worse

I hate car audio as I don't understand half of it

Just run new speaker cable to the speakers then, seems the easiest way

What is wrong with you James

Seeing these always reminds me of the car chase in the 'Goonies' where the Fratellis are being chased by the 5ive-0

Amps under the o/s rear seat, I'm sure you can wire an after market head unit into it. Just use the pre-outs from the new head unit and splice into the existing wiring. I think the amp just has a massive molex going into with all the wiring on one loom, ought to be possible?

Think I understood that lol. Apparently the amp runs an impedance of only 2ohms which means that complicates things?

Needed a car that was big, had big boot, was quiet comfy and cost no more than £2k.

Plus I've always wanted one! Just found the rear cup holders and reading lights, plus a sunglasses holder

It cost £90 to fill up


Im not sure on MPG as i couldnt see how to operate the trip computer till today. Drove it 80miles home and petrol needle hardly moved. That doesnt mean much though


Did a round the block trip from cold and it was 15mpg. Supposed to do 25mpg on Mway

25mpg isnt too bad to be fair, i bet the clio would do similar if you hoofed it everywhere.

you stocked up on sea sickness pills for the difference in ride?

The impedance will only matter if you're trying to swap out the speakers

Have found some Infinity ones which are suitible for factory replacement. But tbh i think i might just stick with it and get one of those tape adapters for it. Im supposed to be saving as it is.

The overhead console has a mystery compartment next to the sunglasses holder that says push but there's nothing there, if you open it by pulling it's empty

Also want a chrome grille

Its for your automatic garage door remote. Pop it in then you push the button
My dad used to have a Cherokee Limited in the same colours back in 1994
