I like a good sounding music system and will happily play around with the one in my house but really know nothing of electronics and less about car ones.
I have in mind to improve the sound of things in my car and have a collection of bits that I'd like to use. These include a Nakamichi radio/CD, a Clarion amp and Clarion front speakers and a Nakamichi elecronic crossover.
Are the front, dash mounted, speakers the same dimensions in the W201 as the W124, bacause my Clarion set is for the W124 and would like to try them in my W201.
I'm not even sure what a crossover does, I got it cheap and it seemed like a good idea. Is it likely to improve things? Similarly, the amp and where would I put it? The crossover is very small and I'd have no trouble siting that but the amp? I know that usually it goes under the rear parcel shelf but I think I'd rather it were under the front passenger seat. Has anyone done this and is it practical.
I should add that there isn't a lot wrong with my existing set up (JVC radio/CD), except that I find the controls awful to use and it could always sound better. The Nakamichi has lovely controls, looks great and has to be an improvement all ways.
As I've said in another post, I'll have the dash out soon anyway and it would be super if I could make use of my W124 ones.
