Improving DAB reception in Exige

[Anatol]

Anyone got any tips on a cheapish way to do this?

Sorry i don't, and i dont mean to hijack your thread but i'd would also like to know how to make it sound half decent. When i put it up to about 27 on the volume the speakers start to distort, anyone any with any ideas? the stereo looks good in the Exige but the Clarion i had in the Elise was much better.

For the DAB reception you'll need an amplified aerial. There is only really one on the market (made by Bosch) which has FM too and it looks just like the std Elise one. I'm contemplating fitting one to my Exige but they dont have one as std so it may look weird and at £100 it aint cheap.

To improve the sound quality you need to apply dynamat around/behind all the panels where the speakers are sited and then rplace the stock speakers with something a bit more robust. Infinity seam to get a lot of votes but I guess any on the premium brands will do. Finally you need to add a sub really, Kenwood and Alpine (amongst others) make small or thin subs which can mount behind the seats or in the passenger footwell. I'm going to start with some dynamat and see how I get on.

Good luck!
