I don't think I have asked this many questions about a car before.

I am wondering what the standard sound system is like in the FRS, I messed around with it whilst test driving it but feared for my life so decided to leave it alone and concentrate on the road ahead! Is it worth putting my old system in the new car?

i've changed my headunit for a kenwood and put some Jl Audio rear speakers in just to make the sound qlty a bit better.

LloydyRS

When you changed the head unit did you have to get a faceplate put on to cover up the gap?
Can you connect an amp to the std Ford head unit?

Willow

not sure on the amp question - probably would be my answer and i didn't need a face plate because i bought a double din headunit with dvd screen and made the hole in the dash bigger so it fitted.

yo dude std system is pants!! when you eventualy find out how to get the speakers out you will find out how really shit they are !!!! I put alpinehead unit in, steering wheel remote still works, kicker components all round, 10" kicker solobaric sub in the boot plus 1x4 chanel and 1xmono amp (all fits in nicely in boot floor) no spare is there !!!!! looks ok too

Standard system is pretty good imo! The RS isn't the sort of car to drag around a big install in, seems a waste to me!

suprised you can hear yours guy! no seriously the sqeekers/speakers wotever you call them are about the same that you find in a 2bob woolies wireless!!! really crap (IMHO)

mine are OK, you need to set the bass and treble up correct. Used to be really into me ICE but TBH when i drive the FRS i like to be able to hear the engine otherwise i can't drive it too well

I'm not a sound system man either, it's all about the cars performance and driving fun factor. Standard Ford sound system is good enough for me.

rssteve

mind you i recon a big of weight int he boot would be a good thing to keep that back end down.

A WRC picnic table will do the same thing and won't weigh as much

I only use the stereo when going on long boring motorway journeys, apart from then i prefer the sound of the turbo...

could say that about the zaust but much prefer to hear the mongoose guys!!
