I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.


The old Evo’s interior was cheaper than a one-star Romanian hotel. The new
Lancer’s interior is a bit more upmarket, but it’s still a third-rate
romance, low rent [Buick] rendezvous.


Actually the all leather interior and superb sound system is very very
good


What on Earth is the point of a good sound system in a car that
doesn't have any sound insulation?


You cannot hear the music anyway!!!


Donal, Ozzy's quite right. The sound system is pretty amazing and the
navigation interface is beyond what comes with the DB9. There is less
sound insulation in a Evo X, but not for a reason you'd understand or
appreciate. But there's still plenty of insulation to enjoy the 650
watt system with powered sub and 9 speakers. Rockford Fosgate designed
it to quell aftermarket desire. It does.

Bob,

You don't seem to understand the difference between
650W "peak music power" and "5W RMS".

HINT-- There isn't much difference!

If you used 650W of real power inside an Evo, then you would
be rendered profoundly deaf.

Donal


You would need quite a big battery bank to power it, too. A 70+ amp 12
volt draw would suck the battery down pretty fast. Does the car have a
200 or 250 amp alternator?
