Well, i had a bit of a random moment the other day while looking up prices for some sort of install after the MIlton Keynes Cruise. This was mainly down to the amount of attention my car was getting, which was very pleasing, which has now forced me to keep it for longer .....I ended up spending £3000 on audio for my car. This consists of a front pair of components one sub and one amp.....I got a great deal on it all with a company renown for its awesome quality and focus of audio install, L and J Audio, which are the sponsors of the other club im with, Midz Modified. I some how ended up getting all the instalation and design of install free and the equipment knocked down in price. This is for one main reason, the component speakers im using are the only set in the country at the moment, and will be the first set installed into a car in EUROPE! The equipment is below, along with prices. I will be more than likely getting a few more mag features with this install, and Performance French Car also now want to wait until the install is done to get a cover feature!

Front Components: Audison Thesis - £2000
Amplifier: Audison Shadow Chrome £1600 (used once so gave it me half price, so £800)
Subwoofer: Hertz High Energy HX380D 15 Inch £310

The isntall is going to take just under 2 weeks, and its going in this monday! Before you say, yes it will add weight, but, the back seats are coming out, so it counter acts it anyway! Once the install is done the show cage will be made around it! This should all be done ready for The Fast Show on March 22nd. So if you are there, pop over and have a listen. I shall be popping down to L and J every other day to get progress pictures for us all :)

That sounds like an awesome setup man, it should sound mega in such a small cabin. Thats the biggest advantage with the C2.
L&J are also very good at what they do so this will sound fabulous.

What is your source/headunit? & will you be using a processor?


Oh yeah....them thesis comps are DEFINETALY not the only set in the UK. I've seen at least 3 sets in the past 4 weeks, plus the set under my bed! :lol:

I would most certainly think they will be the 1st set in a c2!

No matter how you run them, I'm pretty confident they will sound badass! Look forward to seeing them and the rest of the equipment in.

out of curiosity, what made you decide to go for a 15" as opposed to say a 12" or 2 10's?

well. on my budget we were gonna go for 2 12's which came to like £700. then he remembered he had those audison thesis's in stock, so he said, i no, go for a single 15 and put the other £300 to the front comps, not gonna argue as Lee and L and J no's his stuff!
