ICE |
|
| I'm passionate about in car entertainment (ICE). My favourite kit is Alpine. A bit naive as I haven't really paid much attention to other makes, but since I had my first Alpine installation in a Peugeot 405 I've been a fan of them. | |
| I'm currently working on my second Alpine installation in my 2002 Ford Focus 2.0; and this time its going to be bigger and better. Find out what I've done so far in my Diary and how much I've spent in my Spreadsheet. | |
| The system was tested a while ago when I was at an FFOC meeting in Nottingham, the home of Audio One. They got a measurement of 132.8 dB from the system using their TermLab mic. Ok, so it's not going to break any records, but that was measured soon after I installed the system and before I had the chance to tweak the system. | |
| Here are the pictures so far and a PDF of the proposed system: FocusSystem.pdf (155k). | |
