because i dont plan to have the clio too long, all i currently have fitted is a set of infinity kappa co-ax in the front doors, and an alpine 9803 head unit.

in the old clio i had, alpine 7893 head unit, genesis a13 comps run off genesis profile 2 amp, with a boston acoustics 8.5 pro lf sub being run off a audison lrx1.400 amp, all set up for pure quality

 

[Stuart.Atkinson]

Evil ice, u part of TEAM DAVE?

 

[Pauldredge]

evil ice have you got any pictures of your set up? bet it sounds f**king quality.

 

[S15VE_M]

sounds quality just reading it

 

[Evil ICE]

Nope..nothing to do with team Dave. Ive heard of them though. They are doing well in this years comps I believe. Mine isnt an SPL car. It just has a half decent streetbass setup with plenty of treble to keep up with it. It sounds nice considering there are different sizes of subs and plenty of different makes of equipment in there.

ll sort out some pics for you if you like. Ive lost my copy of frontpage so im finding it difficult to post pics on the internet at the moment. Ill see what I can do though.

theres some pics of the car and the old system layout on http://www.evilice.freeservers.com/cliodemocar.htmwww.evilice.freeservers.com/cliodemocar.htmhttp://www.evilice.freeservers.com to keep you going for now if you want to have a browse. Unfortunately some of the specs are wrong though as the system has changed a fair bit since it was last updated.

Mine aint to bad either John eh?

 

[MattyK]

My god evil ice that is some ice!!!

 

[FATBOY]

is this wise letting everyone know what stuff you have in your cars??? local theives may be trawling thru forums like this!!! you never know????

 

[MattyK]

how much did that lot set you back?

 

[^adam^]

im not having a go here at all but i cant see how that car will sound nice at all.

it may be very loud, but it must sound awful, the soundstaging will be all over the place, you will have high frequencies coming from in front of you, above, and behind you, the imaging would be all over the place with 3 6x9s in each door and 5" mids behind your head.

the kicker square subs must ruin the quality bass coming from the RE subs, because so far, all I have heard from the square subs is noise and no quality.

and surely the mixing of brands cannot help at all, the tonal qualities of each brand will be different.

im sorry if im sounding rude here, im not attacking, its just my opinion and I will be happy to have a listen one day to try and prove my self wrong.

Aye not too shabby I suppose!

 

[Alan]

Its all about the Genisis eh?

 

[Djw John]

Ah your overrating it mate, my alpine is much better. In fact as a favour to you Ill do a straight swap with you!

 

[Evil ICE]

Adam - thats a fair point. In theory it should sound sh*t and i definately wouldnt recommend a setup like it but after a couple years of testing and changing equipment ive got it sounding near enough exactly how i like it. The idea was to get it to sound as good as my home system which was about £2000 as well as being able to shift some air. Its not half bad for all the rules that have been broken in the production of it.

Everything is fully tuneable from the dash including each sub individually as well as individidual controls for front and rear making it easy to set up. Once you get to know the system you can tell when its struggling. Luckily there is hardly any distortion unless taken to silly levels or if played too hard with the boot up. Im not going to say its particularly good for SQ as its not (My other car has a twin sub SQ system), but you would be suprised with a few seconds of tweaks here and there...feel free to have a listen if you see me about anywhere.

Matty - The current system owes me about £8000 at the moment but I must have spent nearly 11k over the years. The rest of the car has had about £6 spent on it without taking 4 resprays and previous mods in the last 4 years into account.. I dont particularly want to think of the exact figure as it would be silly money.

 

[Evil ICE]

oh and FATBOY. I would love to see someone try to nick mine. Its kept nicely locked away, there is no key to start it and you cant hotwire it without removing the bonnet due to metal tubes being in the dash for the wires to go through.

If they wanted the system it might take a while as it weighs over 30 stone. The 2 12s in the box alone weigh about 10 and is nicely secured down.
