Re: TV touch screen ?

Only 2 places to display......

Passenger footwell (will get covered in mud and stuff)

Boot (you don't want to take up boot space)

I had some additional 6x9 (ew) in boxes that fitted behind the seats in the 450. Added so extra dimension but the sound from them is ****

I spent ages looking at options for my install and in the end the expensive stuff just wasn't worth fitting in the smart and i out amp under the seat, crossovers in the footwell, tweeters on the dash, kids in place and active sub in boot.

Of course, a show install is a different beast

Re: TV touch screen ?

why do you need it so compact??

loads of space for a 4ch amp under the passenger seat.

its close to the battery then.

Re: TV touch screen ?

You will have to ask on talkaudio forum as there are not enough people on here

I would say the compact is great for space saving, but I think a regular amp will be better, don't buy yet, we will find something else or find some reviews

Re: TV touch screen ?

Re: TV touch screen ?

Focal speakers are a great choice, I have not had any experience with their amp but I'm sure they will be fine, see if u fin fancy reviews for it online.

Before u commit to it just check on the sub you have in mind, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Focal will be great system speakers is their main business so they know what they are doing

Yeah heard a lot of good stuff with focal speakers so thought I'll go for them and they with posted £95 so not bad init and yeah really liking the compact amp but it's got a big price tag £249.00 but because of it being small like that looks so much neater and I'll only be buying it the once just don't no it will be powerful enough !

Re: TV touch screen ?

The ESK's are 300 Watt rating & the DSK's are 160 Watt.
Personally I'd go for the the lower rated ones, as they'll probably be more sensitive & take less to drive them, therefore sound better at lower volumes.

Thanks Mr T for exsplain ing that !

Ive recently spoken to the place where they sell the S100 replacement that fits in the 451 and that to me looks the best option for me, you can add TV, and Cameras for front and rear. It looks like it was standard fitment to the smart. Like Evilution said the original fitment is a bit ****.

They do one for the earlier smarts too. For me thats the best thing that looks like it should be in the car, the facias dont look all that great to me and the other manufacturers offerings dont seem as if they would look very nice at all in the Smart.

And this isn't a bad HU just don't think it's much to look at but thanks for the input lots to thinking about

I think you are looking for something purely based on price!

What's wrong with alpines or sony?

I understand that it's best to get the most for your money but for the smart, there really isn't a huge benefit from spending on high quality speakers.

The alpines I posted up will last longer than your car and will cope with any HU easily.

Maybe you need to go back to your requirement and start your thinking afresh

And I just got some tweeters and door speakers now focal 165 but can I ask if this is a fully working amp !! as I quite like it due to being so small and compact has anyone see or know how good these are ?
