Sound system
Uncategorized July 19th, 2007Just a quick post to keep you updated on all the purchases for Our Time.
Sound is pretty important to me but not so much to Sheila . I would feel that Our Time was well and truly cheated had I just whacked in some basic speakers. Sheila, would be more than happy with a little portable radio with one of those tiny black and white televisions. But hey, this is Our Time, we want this to be our home away from home. Everything in Our Time is important, none more so that the stereo system.
Sheila has been a long time sufferer of sound. Unfortunately for her, I love loud, earth shattering sound. I’ve spent more hours that I care to remember tweaking the amplifiers I have owned over the years. For me, there is nothing like sitting back after spending those countless hours mulling over the settings, eagerly holding the remote and slowly turning the sound up. I sit there, in pure heaven just totally entranced by the sound. I have a complete surround sound system at home and I thoroughly enjoy my hobby. Sheila on the other hand is more than happy to listen to the radio alarm in our bedroom. Apparently that sound is perfectly fine for her, worse, she can even listen to mono! She just doesn’t care. But being the wonderful, supporting woman she is, not once has she said no to any of the things I’ve purchased for our home.
So it came as no surprise that she gave me complete control of the bus’ sound system. Infact, she just waved me off in the direction of the car stereo store, what a woman!
She may regret this decision later after I’ve installed the stereo system. I have a feeling that she might be going for long walks along the various beeches and forests we visit to allow me time to play with the stereo system installed in Our Time.
I’ve gone with the Sony Xplod range. My speakers consist of:
- 6X9 3 X WAY COAXIAL (Model: XSGF6932X) Visit Sony Xplod site
- 16CM 2-Way, 40W/190W PEAK, ALUMINIUM MID (Model: XSGF1622X) Visit Sony Xplod site
- DVD HEADUNIT 2 CODEC 52W FAUX (Model: MEXDV1000) – Visit Sony Xplod site
I’ll make sure to include a “how to” on installing along with a review when fully installed and tested!
