I love them too. They're fun to drive and are like nothing else. I really like the 03/04's with the very light tan leather w/black piping and black carpet. My dads old Disco had that and I loved it.I could just hump that to death... I love LandRover Discovery, mmmmm.
I'd rather hump my moms 07 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE. To keep this on topic it has a 14-speaker 550 watt Harmon Kardon Logic 7 audio system. It has an Aux input for her iPod which is nice. Also has BT phone support and voice commands (although the thing is retarded and never seems to get it right).
overly boomy bass?? hahaha us kids call that music
Its overly boomy as in its just never correctly balanced.
This pic is a little dated. It was when I picked up my car from Tweeter after the 2 month install. Ive since updated the subs to the newer Type R's and updated the head unit to the IVA-W205 in dash screen(the one in the pic is the flip up IVA-D300). And like Galvatron, my iPod is stealth installed in my glove box. For a list of all the components, let me know. Enjoy!
oh i see... why not just turn the bass down? or the treble up? or something along those lines.

how long do you find your speakers lasting?? years?? months?? i assume you 'pump' it quite often lol..
You can probably pick up a new W205 for around $500. Then all you need is the cable. Although Alpine has now released the W505 and it supports iPod video as well., but it would be a few hundred more.
the first gen type r's werent really that great. In the beginning, we had miscalculated the air space of the fiberglass boxes by like a tenth of a cubic foot so I blew through 4 sets in the first couple of weeks. Then I moved to the 2nd gen and have been using them for a few years now. My high's are Boston Acoustic Pro 60's and they still sound as crystal clear as the day I got them.

Is that a demo car?
Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6700MP (50Wx4)
Front Speakers: Infinity Reference 6020cs
Rear Speakers:Infinity Reference 9623i
Sub: Resonant Engineering SE 12" (600W RMS / 1200W Peak)
Amp: Alpine MRD-M501 (585W RMS / 1200W Peak)
Most of my system is fairly old. Got the headunit, sub and amp when I was about 16 so that's 5-6 years old now, the speakers I got last year. It sounds really nice IMO, as I have the bass tuned down so I can turn it up with no distortion or boominess.

Where do your Subs go if you have just a regular sedan?
I mean, I can understand the trunk with hatchbacks and stuff, but in sedan's/Coupes(sp?) the back seat is in the way. And I have no armrest in the middle of my backseat.

Lol, yes, but I'm just saying, if you put it in the trunk, then the sound will be muffled by the rear seats.
trust me, the back seats dont muffle too much at all. plus with a subwoofer, you're not supposed to hear the sound waves directly, they should be heard as reverbrations or reflections off of other surfaces.
nope. thats my personal car. i wanted to build a show car and ended up getting sponsored for a while.
