Disco Matt:
I replaced the standard speakers with two way ones, then after a bit of head scratching worked out how to connect the subwoofer to a head unit with no sub output (wired it across both rear speaker outputs in the end). I realise this isn't ideal, but it works and I get plenty of bass!

 :shock:

how hot does your head unit get?? ...and i assume you`ve got a treble blocker in there??

as i`ve just posted in the disco common faults thread, i`m looking to upgrade the "built in sat nav speaker" type of audio that comes as standard, with something more respectable, it will most likely be motorworlds best offers (JBL) but will be componants up front, 6x9s in the pillars, and a 10" sub in one of the former boot seat holes...
Alpine head unit already in, in previous vehicle, this was the best audio upgrade i ever did.. rover 220 buble shape, and the sound quality was much better using only standard speakers than the sony unit i killed previously.

money well spent, and for those who do like to listen to something other than tyre noise on the motorways, i`m sure pics and further ideas would be welcomed!  :wink:

Disco Matt:
Can't say I've noticed it getting hot, it's been like that for about a year now.

I would have liked to have put a multi-changer on the original head unit, problem is the cable wasn't pre-fitted and I couldn't find a sensibly priced multichanger (or even firm confirmation that the original radio cassette unit would support an autochanger). I might swap to one of those head units with a DVD screen if I can find a sensibly priced one that takes MP3s and has a subwoofer output. Being able to connect the dashboard controls up again would be a bonus!

Ive been slowly collecting the bits for my install,
Nacamichi front end ( already in )
DLS 6" components in the rear pillar (already in)
now the bit ive stalled on !! other things keep need doing....
3 way DLS components for the front doors
2 x 8" focal subs for the rear
All active with an alpine x-over behind the glove box with 5 x Alpine amps mounted under the rear seat.
Bit of a squeeze but I hope the end result will be worth it.

i`m reluctant to stash amps unde the seats.. then again mine gets used as avan quite often...

theres also the issue of water ingress... apparently amps dont like getting wet.. neither does any electrical equiptment for that matter... and i`ve seen tide marks on the carpet under the seat!  :lol:
