Hi Jack! Next time you need music for things like this, let me know! I was excited to hear how it sounded, and being a musician, I am happy to provide either clips or full pieces of anything you are interested in!
The original head unit may well have sounded ok with the other upgrades.
I think I’d have stayed with the original.
Also I’d have gone with an under seat sub or none at all.
That’s just me of course.
Those seats are such an improvement👍🏻
Love how you start off telling us how you bought a "good one" and not a "fixer upper" then listed brakes, exhaust, stereo, upholstery etc etc. As needing work.
That’s nothing compared to what you’d have to do to a crap one!
@@Number27 please don't misunderstand I enjoyed the fun of it.
@@Number27 So true 😅😬
A clean cut, pretty much OEM stereo system there Jack Sir! Very nice!👌 And those new alcantara centers definitely uplifted the look of the seats.
Nicely done✌Enjoy!
Nice to see you got your 306 my eyes 👀 are green I remember when I nearly bought a new one thanks 🙏 too my dad I knocked the wing mirror on the test drive my dad said no and then he went and bought Diablo red Xtdt god bless him god bless git he was
Cracking stuff Jack 👍
I have a 1999 Rallye, less sound deadening than the GTi-6, the car stereo is pretty awful but tbh I prefer the music off and listen to the engine rev out, such brilliant cars to drive that beg to be used!
TH-cam has a library of copyright-free music, I am not sure what the situation is with classical music, I would guess it would come down to whether a performance was public domain
That hifi was a very expensive addition.
Thanks for posting
Good to hear you are till loving the car. I missed out on this one in the day but did enjoy a 205 which I had on loan for a couple of months. Good one.
Hi Jack, I had a problem the same cutting out when pulling up to roundabout, it turned out to be an air vacuum leak, I’ve bought myself one of those smoke leak detectors, run it on baby oil found the problem straight away
I’ve been meaning to get one of these, can you recommend one?
@@GTFour I made my own with a soldering iron (40W+), a jar with a couple of holes cut in the metal lid, and car tyre valve. You'll need an air source, so I used a little electric tyre pump.
Back before every 18 year old got a new car on PCP
Lucky to get free stereo more weight
Excellent job, so much better to keep things looking original as possible. I'm looking at these Blaupunkt reissues of the Frankfurt RCM 82 DAB and Bremen SQR 46, period correct looks and modern technology.
Great improvements Jack
Seeing this video reminds me how much I cant wait to finish mine like yours I'm fighting issue after issue but you expect that with a full restoration
Putting a modern, single din head unit in a car of this age is a great value upgrade. Think I paid £90 for a Pioneer mechless unit. I don't miss CDs! With Bluetooth and an Android phone, I can operate music (Spotify), nav (Google maps) and phone calls by voice control. Works a treat! The tech connectivity was the only feature I wanted from a modern car and this cheap head unit did the trick.
It's all looking good.
Love the oem stereo job. Such a cool car jack.
Geez I didn’t realize car stereo places were still a thing....
I didnt think to show you the sound system in the Saab while you were reviewing it. As well as the high end Atoto A6 Pro PRB head unit, it has 6 Focal speakers ranging from 4" in the dash, 6.5" in the doors, and 6x9 in the rear. Along with 2x 12" subs in the rear hatch. All power by 2 old school early 90's Alpine V12 amps. For a total of 620 watts RMS. It sounds awesome. I can turn it up to max volume as far as it will go and there is no distortion. Measures at 111db, which basically hurts at that level. I sure we will catch up again soon, will demo then.
Looks like a good sound system
Hi Jack, Peugeot brake calipers are renowned for seizing and becoming unserviceable on many models and is quite common, Often the slider bolts seize in the calipers and can't be removed and often round off or snap in the calipers.
Got your Amp & speakers, back to the McDonald's carparks with the 'Yoof' Jack?! All looked great & good for keeping it looking original. 🙏🙏
Ah the pleasures of owning cars you love. Like boats they are a never ending hole in which to pour money.
I have mentioned on one of your videos previously some of the cars I have and included is my much loved but costly 205GTi and Golf GTi Mk1. These cars of course are no longer daily drivers but I do use them all but there is always something that needs to be repaired or replaced. Thank goodness there are those amongst us who care about cars and not the potential increase in value.
I don't have any first hand experience with Peugeots but I can see why you chose it over the Honda. Very nice work on the stereo and the seats!
Nice vlog. Try channels with copyright or royalty free music. Awesome the new stereo and seats looks great. Keep up the good work.
Can't beat having your sounds! (no pun intended) even better if you have a good system. I don't see you as someone who will rattle the doors off while driving so you will be able to hear the emergency services when needed. 👍👍
He loves abit of gangster rap
Love videos on this car. I have one, so often I get to see what could be wrong or how I could update things like the stereo.
In saying that, did you have to remove the dash around head unit to remove old one, instal amp and new head unit? Looking at the video, it looks like you didn't.
Thanks.
Just a thought on the engine revs dropping out. Have you checked the throttle body for air leaks? On my XU9J4 engine, the spindle for one of the butterflies had some play in it, so air could leak out through the hole the spindle went through. This gave all sorts of idle problems, so might worth a quick look.
Good sound in your car makes journeys better and you don't have to be a bass head to enjoy bass. If you the bass is not overpowering then everyone will enjoy it
my 309GRi used to cut out whenever the revs dipped and at the time (1997ish) I read a supplement with my husbands Max Power or my Revs magazine which was giving advice to someone with a 205 1.6GTi with the same issue and they said to remove the air screw and clean it as it gets gunked up and put it back. i'm not 100% sure what the 'air screw' was but my husband knew and went straight to it and solved the issue every time. Every time it got grotty, i'd have trouble keeping any revs on it. Very frustrating!
Peugeot at their very best, just down hill in past few years especially the new 408.
It's obviously essentially a keeper, so when it's finally sorted it'll be well worth all the expense.
Hi Jack. Hope you are keeping well. Dorset is turning out to be a brilliant place to live. I had a 206 (2003) which developed an engine stall. Turned out to be the stepper motor-simple cheap fix. Best wishes, Richard.
Glad you’re enjoying it Richard!! Thanks for watching and if I sometimes don’t reply to comments it’s because there’s too many to read!
£400 labour? Love to see the breakdown of that. It's pretty much a replacement job and running a few cables for the sub and an antenna. No wonder it sounds better the money you've spent! 🙄
Where you got power cable from battery to booth?
Nice one Jack. I’ve had 2x 205 1.9s and 2x 306 GTi6 over the years. Sometimes 20 years apart.
If you want something to use regularly then the 306 wins hands down. Great balance and quicker. If you want something for high days and holidays though, then it had to be the 205. That’s what I’ve gone with.
Do you miss Pepe then or not?
I know you have to keep flipping cars for TH-cam but if you had to keep one would it be the 306 or Pepe?
Stalling issue - fuel pump?
Hi, where did you put the cable from the battery through to the inside of the car?
How many miles do you do a year in a daily?
Hopefully that N.W.A CD will banging now....
🤣🤣
650 isn't too bad tbh
I thought so, too. And 400 for installation is very reasonable, too.
You need to go test a 1.6 205 gti definitely light weight fun and better than the 1.9 gti
Jack, what are you able to do with the right hand volume stalk with the stereo? Volume and skip track as standard?.....
Yea it still works!!!
Where did they place amp?
You sure you don't want to go Blu tooth??
Hi! 306 GTI6 daily here as well. Can I have your stereo? Been looking for one of them. One of the previous owners put in a Chinese special and it's rubbish and the buttons started falling off. Also, mine had the blue Alcantara front seats and they look all dirty so I am also going to be retrimming them.
Bummer that you can’t demonstrate the new stereo. I was looking forward to some Dean Martin or Pavarotti :)
😄😃😃
Did they fit an adapter so the volume and slip stalk still works?
Yes the stalk still works!
Thumbs up
The engine cut is the feul pump on the way out
Get original or o.e.m quality
Yes, sounds familiar. Check the inside of your fuel tank. Mine was full of rust and sediment. Killed a near new fuel pump.
does the steering wheel radio joystick work. or does it not have one
Yes it works!
Regarding music, it pertains to playing entire songs/tunes/melodies, not just small samples for demonstration. You can also easily get permission if you really want to. You definitely need to update this video with sounds...
Nice job Jack. Always upgrade my exhausts, which drowns out the crap stereos, even put a mini amp and flat bass speaker in my Elise. Purists will love me.
Just. Play TH-cam music from the audio library
Hi Jack. Who supplied the correct type and shade of alcantara for the seats, I'm requiring the same for the repair of my 106 GTi drivers seat. Did you use a correct Bosch Icv valve when you replaced yours? - Pattern ones are known to fail prematurely.
The trimmer sullied it but tried to match a bit to the back seats which are a bit faded.. so not sure how original the colour is. It works though
Whats the point of 4 channels when everything is in stereo (2 channels) ? Si from bath
Two channels for the front speakers, two for the back.
1 channel per speaker
@@mattclarke6773 if you understood electronics mate you would know this is blx music is only recorded in two channels.
I think two bands ever recorded a four channel album so 4 channels is a nonsense what this is a mixer that gives the impression of a quadraphonic recording
@zippy4166 Pioneer GM D1004 amplifier is a 4 channel stereo amplifier, 4 outputs. He was asking what's the point of having 4 channels. Hopefully, that's what I was clarifying for him.
1 front left, 1 front right, 1 rear left, 1 rear right.
Nobody mentioned quadrophonic anything
@@mattclarke6773 THere are only 2 channels in a stereo system 4 channels in a quadrophonic system. Like I said its a mixer imitating. I suggest you read some books. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic_sound
@@zippy4166 Mmm, OK. So you think a stereo 4 channel amplifier is putting out a quadrophonic signal, is that what you're saying?
What if it was a 5 channel amplifier, what is that doing?
you forgot to buy a baseball cap + put it on backwards....
The new Pepe ?
That box in the boot is awful. I had a similar era Golf mk 4 from new which had a fantastic standard stereo without the need for a box.
That car always looks a better replacement for an outdated 205.
Sound is really controversial and subjective topic. As I generally tend to get more luxury cars and usually with upgraded stereo I generally ten to think "not much is needed", but sure... older entry level cars could have really horrible stereo and even replacing the components for the same size could completely transform the car.
What I would have done differently is purely subjective, but I would have fitted Blaupunkt Classic head unit (they are pricey, but they look right - see Bremen), would have skipped the dedicated amp (4x50RMS to be honest is enough in my opinion if we trying just to modernise and not to turn it into chav rocket) and for sub... I would have went for under-seat active subs. I just hate separate sub-boxes in the boot... kind of shouts 90s to me.
With under-seat sub you don't need much power as the sub is just in perfect place for where it should be and I think the balance of the system would be better. Again I am not criticising what the guys recommended off the shelf as everything was pretty reasonable, but just few petty things... like I don't think external amp was really required if the goal was just to modernise and massive active sub in the boot isn't my cuppa either. But it may as well be what you desired, as well hard to judge without being able to listen... maybe I would change my mind!
Hi Jack, in connection with your old Lexus project, does the following ring any sort of bell for you.
BrittneyMayASMR
If it does I have some interesting S C A M news for you. If it does not, forget it.
Doesn’t ring any bells… sorry
Why would you go to Rag and destroy your car with all that shit !!!
What a waste of a stereo probably only have Phil Collins playing 😂😂😂
Also some Lionel Richie and when I’m feeling adventurous a bit of Wham
Nice 'n juicy ho' atch tha'is ma'e😘
trust car audio security to push their crappy jbl speakers...smh
