Just wondering what type of sound systems has everyone got in their buses and where you might have the subwoofers ect. ect.
couple of pics would be sweet
:repuke
he he, I love this topic.
in my doublecab I've got a Blaupunkt 250w 3 way 6"x9" in each front door and eack side of the rear tailgate window, driven by a Blaupunkt 4x200w amp, and under the back seat, Ive got 2 Blaupunkt and 2 Ultimate 10" subs driven by a 6x100w Rockford amp. the sub amp has been bridged to 2 channels (makes about 500w per side) and runs 2 subs wired up on each channel.
is it loud?
dunno, all I hear is a constant ringing in my ears 😀😀😀
yes the car is still for sale
No this system doesn't come with the car
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.
cause kombis are so big and u do all the maths behind it all dependin on what u kinda sound u want then its upto you!!
im goin 2x12 inch subs some 6.5" splits in the front kick panels and some 6x9's up the rear!

Rhys,
at peak power @ say 13.5 volts that's 370 amps to the subs. I think you'll be cooking the kombi rather than rattling it.

I have a crappy Sony AM-FM radio cassette player that eats tapes and fades off stations. 6 nice speakers though - 4 in the front and two in the rear.
I've asked Santa to bring me a nice new radio CD player with the groovey coloured lights and display. Not sure if I've been a good boy though.
have you seen the cd players with the remotes that wud come in handy in a camper hey !
I've never understood remotes I must admit. When I change the telly channel at home, I get up, walk over and turn the knob.
Same with the Kombi - I have to get up and walk to the fridge to get a beer, so I might as well lean over and manually change the CD!
I'd probably lose the remote anyway or let the batteries go flat.
What brand of ICE players do people recommend? I would like to avoid Sony, Voxson and TEAC if possible...
well blaupunkt is german, if htat helps. otherwise i have pioneer and it has been good.

i love the idea of just crashing on the bed and chillin out in the bak to listen to some music without the hassle of gettin up 2 change the station or trak but neway thats me
i am corrently only running a high quality sony head unit, explode 6x9 2 ways in the front and a 4 inch cplit system in the rear. ample sound for now, but would be nice to have a sub in the future.

I have used blaupunkt for years and have nothing but praise for it. and it's a german brand.
funny story, I had my '73 camper broken into, that's not that funny, but that had a blaupunkt system in it, theives stole a stack of cd's from the glovebox, a camera,my boogie board, wetsuit etc, and a stack of of camping gear, but the stereo wasn't even touched. maybe cos it said blaupunkt on it and not sony, kenwood, or pioneer. no flashy displays on it or unnecessary b.s. just pure business:thumb

I've got no complaints about the JVC head unit, it's worked a treat 🙂
I have found the keychain remote that came with it handy in two situations:
(1) when we're at camping and sitting outside I will often use it to change the volume or skip tracks etc.
(2) when sleeping in the back of the Kombi (especially in winter!!) I like to play music before shuteye time so I usually use the remote for picking tracks, chaging volume, changing stations etc without having to get up.
The remote doesn't get much use on the daily drive but I have found it handy 🙂
