    Glad to have you back John. Great ideas there. The stereo in my 97 XK8 is woeful but I’d be loathed to lose the originality of the dash. This looks like a solution that I could consider. Cheers!

      Thanks Gerard. It certainly made a difference in my T5. I have also added the matched sub amplifier and 10 inch sub in the van which has taken it a step further. I am currently exploring more ides to improve the sound further in the Jag.

    Very interesting video. I would hugely appreciate seeing a detailed video about installing upgraded speakers suitable for the amp and especially the under seat sub. Thanks again and all the best!

      Thanks Jonathan. I will see if I can find the time to put something together.

    Hi John. Really liked this video.
    A really interesting amplifier.
    I could easily find myself putting one on my list for Santa.

      Thanks John. I was surprised how much difference it made in the T5. I have also added the matched sub amplifier and 10 inch sub in the van which has further enhanced the sound. I am currently exploring ides to improve things further in the Jag. Possibly more videos to come.

    Hi John, I do like the look of the original radio unit, so taking your advice, I’ve changed the 4x speakers, an improvement, but now going for the rest of your advice and ordered the amp and ISO adapter, will fit in the spring… Thank you

    Interesting to hear to differents in sound quality. I’m quite partial to loud pink floyd.

    • @ccuk

      Hi Steven. I had thought about trying to record the difference, but I suspect the microphone would not be good enough to pick it up. Also I think my camera would adjust the recording levels and offset the volume difference.

      Hi. It was from Dynamic Sounds. INCARTEC FK-394-1 kit. It's not cheap but looks good

      For the non upgraded radio these should be the cables.
