a friend of mine had Boston Acoustics in his car, really clear sound at any volume.

i didn't think Bang and Olufsen made anything for cars......... it's a little over priced if you ask me anyway.

i have Philips in my car, they sound grate and I've never had a problem with them, been about 4 years now.

i think the green ones are called Fusion :(

#1 Boston Acoustics, they cost a little, but well worth it

#2 Philips

This discussion is pointless.

There are so many variables and opinions it really cant be listed as to the best speakes.

Are you considering the amount of money spent on marketing?

Build quality?

power handling?

bang for buck?

availability?

reliability?

color?

shape?

the way it was installed?

amp? headunit? mouse on a treadmill? what sort of pwer does it need/ get?

A commom thing people do whan comparing two speakers is to forget about a lot of the particulars. Are you comparing a set that is high in one brands range to entry level in another brand?

A good quality speaker might sound crap with a poor instalation.

I have seen it at shows and in stores time and time again, "my xxxxxxx system kills yours"

The repsonse, " yeah it should, you spent 10 times what i did."

So maybe to make it fair and resonable, how about putting some parameters around the assessment process. That way people can give you a rank based on something real and not just an opinion influenced by jazzy marketing or one car that just happened to sound ok.

After all there are speakers out there for cars that are worth MORE than the car they are installed into.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
