I have had my FL2 just over 3 weeks now and apart from one failure to start/display reset the only other problem I have is the poor sound quality from the GS audio

I was wondering if anyone has made imrovements to theirs i.e, added a sub woofer or changed speakers

I would appreciate feedback or suggestions on how to get a richer sound with more bass

Don't know what your exact problem is. My stereo in my GS sounds beautiful, , and being an ex DJ sound quality is important to me. ______________________

I just find it lacks bass and can be a bit screechy - especialy when listening to Cd or Ipod - may be because I have had premium systems before with sub woofers

I forgot to mention FM breaks up a lot and I have noticed only one radio element connected in boot side window - is this normal

It is normal for the boot to have just one aireal connected, I think I read once the other is a TV aireal.

I had a GS the other month, and thought the radio is not as as the SE.

I think the HSE don't sound any different to the SE aswell. even with the extra speakers and surround sound.

Can you obtain a Subwoofer and mount it in the boot, it may have all the connection wires waiting to be plugged in.

I've got the HSE and on full volume 35 MAX on the dial it is crystal clear with BRILLIANT resonse across all frequency ranges. The tone settings I have are treble 3, Bass 5 and subwoofer MAX..no distortion just lots of vibration on the body panels, and also on your right knee from the the door mounted speaker as it blows the sound waves across your leg!!!!

On the way back form Euro Disney we pulled into a deserted picnic area and I cranked up the volume to see what it sounded like from outside with windows up/ down and doors open. Again crystal clear, very load and noticed the wife leaning on the car like she does when the washing machine is on full spin.....don't know why but strange that she got that flushed look on her face again after a few minutes of 'Body Rockers - I like the way move'

Steady Dave, I did not spend that long with Avtur that his music choice rubbed off on me!!

As for photos of the wife, becuase she was jigging around so much, they came out blurred .....sorry!!!!

Hey,

I'm looking to add the Blaupunkt Velocity2Go subwoofer to my LR2. How do I patch it into the sound system?

Is there a control box somewhere in the car?

Thanks,

Unfortunately there aren't any pre-out plugs on the head deck in the SE so you need to use a high-low level converter to install an amp.

I installed a 2x250w amp in my SE and noticed a huge improvement in the mid range and less distortion from the treble. I still have some scratchiness from the front right side tweeter which one day I will replace.

The other mod I have done is install a 12" Alpine sub woofer and 600w mono-block amp. This thing makes some nice noise and gets rid of any road noise.

Installing the gear is pretty easy once you get a wiring diagram so you know which wires go to which speakers. Running a 12v cable from the battery can also be challenging but removing the battery and running the lead from inside the car into the engine compartment worked for me eventually.

All in all the sound quality is good when the car is stock and pretty bloody good when you install and amp and sub. 2007 TD4 SE
