parthiban Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Oh yeah i know how well you collaborated the components over the years and i for one salute you..... Yours makes the Bose system in Elaine's BMW sound like a fart in a biscuit tin. Does the BMW have Bose? I thought they used Harmon Kardon?

djwozza Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Am I the only person that has a snigger whenever I see the words Harman Kardon? Maybe it's just my schoolboy humour playing dyslexic tricks on me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwozza Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 One for the Car Audio fans who have followed my ICE install build or just had a quick demo. Last Thursday evening I went to Huets The In-Car Specialists in Shoreham, they are a well known ICE dealer on the South Coast & massively respected for their installs. They were having an ICE Night, various cars were there from an old (but spotless) Capri & XR4i to various VW's, along with the JL Audio UK guys with their Demo Audi A3, and Huets had their own new JL Demo Car as well. There was also Kenwood UK (cough) there with a nice Demo Scirocco. Sounded pretty good, but it's four subwoofers were only just about on a par with my 1 subwoofer loooooool. I digress. Whilst I was there chatting to the guys from JL, I was introduced to a smartly dressed American guy. He is George Jenkins and turn out works for JL Audio at their Electronics & Research faciltity in Phoenix & is the Director of International Sales. He overheard me talking to the other guys about my install & wanted to have a listen. f**k yes!!!! Turns out he formerly worked at Pioneer, Bose, Boston Acoustics, and most recently Kicker. After a quick look around my install I gave him a demo, he asked about the head unit & I showed him some of the tricks. He then asked if he could plug his iPhone in and use the Apple Car Play to play some of his playlist. Some more acoustic stuff came up from Stevie Ray Vaughan amongst others, and he was very impressed. He gets to hear a lot of different installs on his travels to shows etc, some fully pro installs, others by enthusiasts like myself, & it really makes him smile to hear a JL install that has been installed & set up properly to get the best possible sound out of it. I got a big thumbs up. To say I was pretty chuffed doesn't even come close!! I know some might say "well he would say that wouldn't he?", but tbh after a few tracks of mine he could have made excuses and left as he was there on a professional level to talk to journos, distributors & dealers etc, but to sit there and then want to go thru several tracks off his phone as well tells me he was enjoying it 100%. So the man from JL Audio, he said "Yes!" & that's good enough for me George Jenkins from JL Audio Huets Staff & George Jenkins from JL Audio Huets JL Demo Golf The Official JL Audio Demo Audi A3 Kenwood Scirocco Spotless Ford Capri Ford XR4i Revolution P.S There will be a photo or two of me talking to George at some point, but I'm awaiting the journos to post them online, but as it was Modified Nationals the following day it will probably be later this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Wow, that's a proper endorsement there! Must have been incredibly satisfying to get that sort of response from someone who clearly would have heard a lot of different systems over the years. Awesome work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwozza Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I just had a quick calculation with the added weight of the install, including everything so that's all the sound deadening, power & speaker cables, conduit, terminals, 3 amplifiers, 1x subwoofer, 2x sets of components & crossovers, 2x tweeters & crossovers, MDF mounting rings, 2x F.A.S.T Rings, Fuse/ Ground Distribution Blocks, MDF Fuse Board, Amp rack & Subwoofer Box, plus a second AGM Battery the grand total is around 150-160kg. Gulp Ah well no wonder I have lost about 3mpg...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwozza Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 BTW Shahz I can probably do other days, but not Monday as I'm at the hospital and Wednesday am at the Docs until about 9:30 am and will take up to 10:30-11am to get up to WIM.

SHAHZ Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sorry Warren, this is going off topic....Ok so coilovers are going to take at least 2 weeks to be delivered; however I may try and get booked in next week to at least get the rims fitted; this may however not be worth it as i will need to get a geo just for the switch from runflats to non and then again when the coils are fitted, so might be better tO do it in one hit! .... will keep you posted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickT Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Nice one Wozza. I'm glad to see the end result being a stealthy quality install, rather than being all about show/ image 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwozza Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ok here is the main video shot on the night by Car Audio God journo Adam Rayner. The first car he is raving about is the Huets JL Audio Golf, which has the same C3-650 speakers as mine has in the front doors. Also George Jenkins from JL makes an appearance. Top night. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7d1_wLclehQ&a=&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwozza Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Say hello to my ugly mug firstly with George Jenkins from JL Audio and at the very end of the night with Peter Huet from Huets The In Car Specialists. Also a big thanks to Car Audio royalty, Mr Adam Rayner for the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
