Bot cars are getting aftermarket stereo systems that will be something special
What sort of stereos are you going for? Odd choices to upgrade though as both have built in stereos. How will you get round that? I have the upgraded stereo in my XJ (not sure what the official name for it is). It's pretty neat with the tweeters in the pillars. It's pretty good.volvo s60 D5
the Toy
A Jag Xj 3.2 v8
Bot cars are getting aftermarket stereo systems that will be something special
In the boot i will have the speakers passive crossovers, a digital equaliser and two amps
These will be built into a false floor so the boot is fully usable but can be showy when i want it.
As the boot on the Jag is sealed from the cabin i will be putting the subwwoofer in the front footwell
Should be classy and understated
In regards to the Volvo as this was my old daily driver
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJg0Qeethlw
that had doors like this
Those are 10 inch drivers in the door
The volvo will be slightly OTT as well, at least one 10 per door/2 depending on space, 11 batteries in the boot, full range drivers on the apillars and a big box where the rear seat is holding 4 15inch subs. Amp wise the volvo will have lots of power

To be honest they are going to be chalk and cheese, the Jag is going to have what is called an SQ system in it.
I particularly like the sound of what is going on with the Jaguar though I daresay I'm happy enough with the stereo in it now. All I really listen to in the car is Radio 4 though, my days having a shiny Alpine headunit in a Japanese Import listening to Depeche Mode have sort of came and went. What is the story with the girls at the show? Jaguar day? Are they big fans of the Coventry V8 or did you bung them a tenner to pose for a few pics?

Only a little bitter? I must try harder then!
You've seen right through me, I so desperately want to finance a Golf that my vitriolic nature towards PH is impossible to mask
So why read it then you cry? For fun of course! Sorry if I touched a nerve at all, if it's any consolation my Dad was German and I liked him
And gherkins and bratwurst and their national anthem too!
It would be a lot easier to believe you if your dream garage didn't say C63 hahaha! You've seen right through me, I so desperately want to finance a Golf that my vitriolic nature towards PH is impossible to mask

Can't believe you had the audacity to call someone out on their rental car Mr HSV.

Is it so hard to believe I'd love a car with a 6.2litre V8 and RWD? You must forgive me for being so generic with my labelling of 'German' stuff, to be more specific, I'm not generally a fan of Audis, VWs, BMWs or Porsches. There are exceptions, B5/7 RS4s, E39 M5, 840, 2002, Z3 M Coupe, 959, Carrera GT and whilst not really a fan of anywhere they've put it, I do like the VR6 motor as it sounds fantastic.By the way you replied it sounds like you're the one crying?
I also have a soft spot in particular for large engined AMG Mercs. I hope that helps clear up my annoying opinion. My use of the word cry was because I (mistakenly) assumed you may be feeling exasperated as to why I'm posting on a forum that I profess to not be a big fan of, so just wanted to clear that up for your benefit. Clearly I didn't need to though
I shall wipe these tears away and try to move on

Have you tinkered with the exhaust at all? The GTV at least was insultingly quiet originally.TheAngryDog said:
Hey James,
Most kind sir. Sadly I do not have an awesome action pic like yours. I always take a look out for your car when I'm walking past and see it in its glory!
