Dicided not to do the hi fi upgrade on my car so selling the carver amp.
I have the full set up if anyone’s interested, subs speakers grills for behind seats the lot even the loom.
£300 for the amp .
£150 for Subs complete with mounts grills & sound deadening will throw speakers in for free.
Think that’s a fair price 👍
 
Thx kitkat and kis.

Kitkat, what's the serial number and hw/sw revision numbers?
 
Curious about the images as well. Discovered I've got the cubby holes behind the seats, so this might be a perfect opportunity to look into speaker upgrade.

Is it an upgrade kit for the basic Business CD to HiFi or from HiFi to Carver? I guess you need the sat nav screen for Carver so you can adjust the DSP settings, right?
 
I have the coupe and an DESPERATE to upgrade the standard incar speaker system.
Is there a fitting manual?
Do you know of anyone who can fit a system like this?
Kind regards
:?
 
Hi all don’t know of a fitting manual . Don’t need a sat nav screen this was out of a car with business radio system .
That’s about all I know. There may be someone on here who knows more though.
 
Obviously thunderous one is ahead of me in the queue.
However, being a little bit cheeky, would you be willing to accept £100 collected, for the sub/speaker/grills/other bits, obviously excluding the amp?
 
I don't think it's a simple upgrade... if your car has the 6 speaker set up - it's not worth trying to mess with the DSP Carver amp - you'd be far better off using an aftermarket amp to power any additional speakers.

In my opinion however, it IS still worth buying the Sub speakers and mounts/frame - because you could use said aftermarket amp to drive them - which is exactly what I did 8)

I have however already switched my head unit, which provides RCA outputs, so I simply ran the RCAs to a little Pioneer amp I put in the boot, then from Amp to speakers mounted behind seats where the cubby holes are. The cubby hole just pull out - use a trim tool to lever them and they'll unclip in a few places and slide out.

The mounting holes are there already for the subs in their frames - then clip the new grills (as seen in OPs pic) over the top.

With all the aftermarket options, it's far better to have the 6 speaker set up and add these subs, but use your own amp etc than it is to have the DSP system and change things. The DSP (10 speaker setup) needs complete rewiring of the Audio system should you want a different head unit etc - so yeah, personally, I wouldn't bother with Carver amp - there's no easy upgrade, and it's simply just not worth it. - But again, the Subs/Speakers that mount behind the seats are defo worth grabbing. From memory I paid £100 for mine from a fellow forum member some time ago - that included the grills, speakers, foam & the mounting panels. The speakers were NOT the proper subs though from memory (and I knew that when buying) so £150 is a fair price IMO if that's the Subs, mounting panel, grills and foam
 
Hi all it’s £150 for everything except amp not dropping from that. Think that’s a bargain for 4 speakers, 2 subs, grills, mounting plates, sound deadening & even the loom with speaker plugs all in great condition. I paid £200 for it from breakers & had to remove it myself.

As I mentioned above, personally I think £150 is a good price for it all :) If I didn't already have it, I'd of snapped your arm off lol

Fair enough!
If thunderous one does not want it at asking price.
I'll take it please.

Think I need to offer thunderous one first refusal in line with forum rules? If he backs out, I'd be able to pick up this week

thats really a good piece of advice and I’ve kearnt much from your description
I’m really interested in the subs, and 8mmgonna conclude the6 would be an easy fit in the cubby holes behind my seats in my coupe
My question is, how do I wire the subs?
I have the sat nav system in my car
Appreciate your efforts
