Rockn_Ferrari Almost Complete

LOL thanks for the advice but my volume control is my right foot.

 

These guys got it exactly right. You worked hard to get your car, so don't be confined by the culture of F-car ownership if it holds you back from having as much fun as possible.

Also, you might want to watch out for threatening people. I don't think you meant much by it, but telling someone to come to your house and say something to your face might result in a suspension and/or ban. Just a thought...

 

I'm all for upgrading the stock speakers (+ headunit to one that can connect with an ipod) if they're rubbish (like they likely will be in a 20+ year old car), but i'm not a big fan of adding a whole subwoofer thing with huge amps etc.

Not a big fan of concourse either since it seems a bit pointless to me so no points lost there.

After all, it is rockn's own car and he can take the chromes off when he sells it and the speakers too.

 

I love it a fantastic looking 328, great colour and i love the wheels, why knock it? it is his car and he can do to it what he wants? i am sure most owners personalize their cars to some extent?

 

Finish it off with some Ed Hardy seatcovers.

 

i got banned for that once.

 

Perfect set up for creepin in da hood.

Whatever floats your boat, those that are upset its only a 328 not as if its a collectable rare Ferrari that's worth a lot, so too each his own.

 

I have had my 328 for three years and have never turned on the stereo. i don't plan to. It's not because i can't appreciate music, i have a pretty sick system in my truck and house. My opinion of this modification is simply that it is doing the wrong thing with the wrong car. Sort of like putting huge chrome rims and extremely low profile tires on a Hummer. Silly really. Seems almost heretical. You will be shunned and talked about behind your back at any gathering of italian exotics, not to mention this site. you are not tifosi.

Now, before you get your panties in a bunch and defend your decision by telling us how great you are, remember that you came on this forum looking for opinions. This is an open, public forum and you have to be ready for opinions you do not agree with. Especially considering your unconventional use of what some consider a piece of automotive art. Another analogy would be tagging the mona lisa. But my guess is that is exactly what you are going for and you get a certain amount of enjoyment out of pissing off more conventional Ferrari owners and lovers. Hence your thread here and your responses. So please don't come off with some faked shock at the responses. You expected, and i'm sure, welcome them.



Having said all that, it's your car and you can do whatever you want with it. In the end, it's just a car. Me, i would have gotten a supra if i planned on doing that.

 

i disagree. i think if he wanted to show off his work and get some info on finishing it off he would have posted this in a car stereo forum. I think this is a little more to tweak "old" ferrari owners with "fat" girlfriends. You know, the ones that don't participate in "centuries".

To wit his profile:

Duh.

 

So did he.

futureman 24 hour ban for posting what is in bad taste, even if you're not Ed.

DM

 

i didn't report you futureman. dm has a sixth sense about these things. i could just see it coming.

 

I'm just that good.

OH, and no, ed didn't hit the "!"

Now can we dial back the needless insults and bickering and get back to discussing the issues without the personal jibes?

Grazie,

DM

 

"This was a popular system for a good number of car show attendees... and I didn't even have it turned on.

I saw a group of college ladies taking photos..."

This says it all.... keep up the good work sailor

 

Our chatter "enjoythemusic" would be the one to ask about your crossover questions......

I bought some of that blue speaker wire to use on my home system last week, it was damned near too big to put into the Harmon Karden amp!
I had to trim a few strands...........it fit into the Cerwin Vegas though...

 

That would be Harman Kardon LOL, instead of gold speaker wire I'd rather spent my hard earned on Magnecor ignition wire (just as expensive), and I still have my 7-pieces AKAI home stereo from 25 years ago with a good working heavy heat transmitting Phillips CD100 CD player (the very first).
Like said, he modified his car with passion and that's what counts, the size of the wheels are OK by me not the chrome and I would have left out the front subwoofer, as there is no direct connection to the passenger cabin. It's fun to have a getto Ferrari, they are not holey even if some think so. New 308 and 328 have been crashed by rich kids who didn´t care, or have been neglected after a while `low original miles` yeah right. People who own a 308 or 328 today have probably saved up to buy the car and care about it, whatever they do with or to them.

 

Then I was doubting and Harmon Kardan gets 7M google hits and Harman Kardon only 5M, but Harman Kardon is correct.

 

I thought I misspelled it....it belonged to my new gf's former husband.....they found him dead, so I inherited it!

The speakers were free too, from a coworker, they needed refurbishment but they sound great!

 

That girl upstairs stomping all the time across my ceiling needs to be scared, really scared........LOL!

Probably cannot help it, she's not small........the woofers are 15" IIRC....

 

That's what I get for stopping at my Hole inThe Wall Stereo Shop instead of Radio Shack...

They DID remember taking the Sawzall to my Ferrari dashboard...to put the Blaupunkt CD player in..

"Wasn't this car yellow?"

"No, that was my OTHER Ferrari, this one has a Kenwood.."

 

There's a large group of purists here, fo' sure....

It's rather a younger interest, cramming the car with gear, my son is into projects like that....

As I mentioned 'enjoythemusic' and I have swapped discussion on upgraded sound systems but most would sneak it in without major appearance mods..I have dual element door speakers in one of my Ferraris, and my 25th Anniversary Trans Am has a special system that has TEN speakers, five per side.....LOL! The only year Pontiac offered THAT!

Different strokes for different folks...

Of course if he knew who 'fastradio' was, he wouldn't have picked HIM to go off on.....one of our most experienced and valued members.

 

How many speakers in your Lamborghini, wetpet???
