I've heard the 10tw3 in another car and it was pretty good, Audiofile in car (ice dealer who's fitting) wanted to use it, so in it went.. :) the shallow depth makes it ideal for me as I don't want to lose boot space. I haven't asked how they're running the 3 ways at the front, will get a run down from them when I collect tomorrow am. :)

Pics looking good.

AND? Does your Best of S Club 7 sound any better?

Did you have subs in the back before anyway?

It sounds pretty good. system is obviously still bedding in, but for a first drive / listen, it's excellent. The system sounds fairly well balanced between bass / mids / highs and the Bit 10 controller allows changing the subwoofer output as well as altering between two settings of time alignment - A / B - A being setup for driver and B being for when a passenger is onboard.

As someone who doesn't even have the radio on never mind Cd's, and just enjoys the silence, I hope you don't pull up next to me with sound blasting out.

Rather than having defeat-able t/a why not opt for two different eq/x-over settings. For all intents and purposes your passenger won't really care much for any alignment issues and you can have two settings perfect for different genres of music. (I.e. one eq smooth and relatively neutral and one with a punchier sub bass curve)

Just my £0.02

Thanks I'll have a think about it and decide what to do with it.
