better than your MB's mate, imo. c8cker, wouldnt go that far, personally i love them, but ive had my infinity's for 2 1/2 years now, and they're still going strong. I'm only getting rid of them when i can afford a new/better amp than the Profile 4 and a set of Focal 165W3's

Focals are over-rated crap speakers, the only ones worth getting are the top of the range.Stick with ur MB's and save for top of the range Focals or summat better.

Nowt wrong with them there just two over rated just cos some people have only ever had Focals they think there the bizz. I have tried a set of the Polyglass V2 130 V Slim's in my car and they weren't as good as my old £120 Audiobahn's. But now I have a set of 6 1/4 Powerbase comps and they are mint.
Keep an eye out for Powerbase (new to the UK)

I'm not an installer for starters, I've only done my system. I do think a powercap will solve the basic systems but on mine I have got a powercap, upgraded battery and a upgraded Alt. The think that made the most difference was the power cap.
Wot does ur system put out then Austin you UK Champion ICE Expert.

I havent taken the VIBE system for a reading yet, will do one day though. The big system is yet to come though, still designing it.
Just put it this way, i dont think snowy will be happy about it
Gonna be going into the Supra (hopefully).
These days systems between 135db and 139 db can be acheived without much effort.
A daft twat who had 4 SPLX 15"s in his car hit 137.5db, but it sounded absolute wank. That was at a sound off at manchoney's. My car was in the bodyshop at the time.
I doubt my system would hit much. I initially put it in just for my own pleasure, not to enter it in sound off's or to get readings from it.
But rest assured, [munchie] i know ma shite [/munchie]

I dont know a great deal, more than some BUT not as much others. TOMAS corb Austin.
But between the 4 of us "The fantastic 4" we can pretty much come up with the bestest advice.
Oh and my system (which i didn't build) hit in at 143.3dB
So there

Ello ello, my ears were burning - my names being mentioned ere lol
When are you boys going to realise SQ has its place ? Nah I cant be arsed with who knows what, I knows what I knows. I'd NEVER let anyone install ANYTHING in my car other than myself. Ive spent £3500 so far, just having a rest at the minute (hence why im not here often) working on my cars outside and possibly trying to get one of the best handling corsa's out their. TAS top mounts, polly bushes, coilovers, strut braces and 14's with LOW rubber...
