The JBL GTO is an ok speaker. The tweeters can start to get harsh to the ear after a while. But they can give and take a lot of power. But in the stock place in the doors you will have to make a slight mod. Nothing major. AS for the mid, as long as you cap them at 60hz they'll do you proud. They wil...

Dam good speakers but the crossovers are very poor!!<br><br>Your best bet would be to power them through an active crossover via an amp. <p></p><i></i>

The only way you could stop this is to put in an over ride switch.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

How did the sound deadning go??<br><br>I used 2 layer of brown bread on my old mazda with good results <p></p><i></i>

My mates all used to call my the Exective Sports.<br><br>Maybe this is it. As the S came with a lower spec than the ES.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

If you do need more help just give me a bell as this is my best subject.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I have completely run new OFC for ever speaker. This can be a little tricky in the doors due to space and getting the thicker wire through the little tube. <br><br>I had crossovers which were on display in the boot so i had to run wires for both mid-range and tweeters.<br><br>Also if you upgrade you...

I agree with dragon lord.<br><br>One thing to keep in mind though. They weren't all ES's <p></p><i></i>

I had one on my ES. UK car<br><br>I think i will keeps this now as i don't know if my turbo has one yet. <p></p><i></i>

the DAB control units in the last 12 months have come down from £350 down to lower than £150. <br><br>With DAB you get crystal clear radio additional station only avilable on DAB. When you go through a tunnel you don't loose reception.<br><br>Believe it or not DAB has been around for some 6 or 7 y...

I'm currently running MB Quartz in the front. But its time to upgrade.<br><br>I'm looking at phoniex gold a set of 6inch and a set of 5inch components in the front and a set of 5 inch in the back.<br><br>Does anyone have any other recommendations or experiences in the upgrade of the 480?? <p></p><i>...

I had the same problem with mine. <br><br>I took it out and opened it up to find that the plastic bit that push it up had snapped. So all that was happening was that the motor was turning.<br><br>I bought the replacement from Volvo forabout £15.<br><br>Then i went through the carwash and broke the ...

You can buy the individal parts from volvo. I think the attena is about £15. <br><br>As for replacements from halfords, you will have the following problems.<br>1. The wiring connection will be different so you will have to cut the wiring and join them yourself.<br>2. The bit where the attena comes...

When I upgraded my front speakers I chose components which came with a good cross over.<br><br>I take it the Pioneer speakers you are wishing to replace them with are something like the TSG range of speakers.<br><br>This is what you do. <br>Cut all for wires and strip them. Twist together the positi...

It could be the heat shield under the car. I found by undoing this and padding it a bit then doing it back up tight it stop my rattles.<br><br>Also there should be some heat shields around the manifold which could do with tightening.<br><br>If this doesn't solve your problem get a stainless system w...

I have never seen these in a 480 before. My mate had the exact same ones in his 440 though.<br><br>Maybe you could get them out of a 440.<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>

The avon zv1 is a good-ish tyre. You get what you pay for. <br><br>I had the ZV1 on my last car and couldn't moan. Just their not too clever in the wet due to the hard compound. But once warm in the dry there good. <br><br>The best tyres i've come across so far are either Goodyear Eagle F1 or Dunlop...
