Hi All,
my name is Greg and I have a 2011 SX hatchback, bought about a year ago from a dealer with 40K kms on the clock.
I found your website via Goggle searches for speaker upgrades for my car, and am impressed with the overwhelmingly friendly nature of the replies to peoples posts - quite a change from other (non-car) forums I see.
I have owned my car for nearly a year and am very pleased with it. Especially so when I plant the accelerator, look across at my 10y.o. son and say to him: "Feel that? That's Lancer pooooooower!" That gets a smile out of him every time.
Subject to cost, changes I'd like to make to the car in order of importance to me are:
a) front speaker upgrade.
b) rear parking camera
c) maybe front/back sensors
I played a song recently (Jamie xx - "Sleep Sound") in the car on CD and the speakers distorted big time due the big, deep bass in the song. My crappy computer speakers don't go down low enough to cause this when listening to Youtube, and no other song has done that (caused the distortion) in the car before or since.
Given a budget of a few hundred dollars, and having read advice on the forums about replacing front door speakers first (or even *only* if that's all the budget permits), what advice would you give me for speaker replacement?
Not being terribly tall, I find that parking the car is not as easy as I'd like it to be, especially when compared to parking my wife's Mazda 3.
Given that, I'd like to explore the possibility of getting a parking camera and maybe even front/rear sensors installed.
Unfortunately I am technically and DIY clueless, so would have to get any mods done professionally (which I'm okay with) so a dealer in the (Inner) South East suburbs of Melbourne would be preferable.
Any advice you can give on any/all of the speakers/parking camera/sensors will be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Greg.
