| BHPian  | Almost there but decided not to. After a lot of deliberation and with the work almost started have decided not to do up the ICE on the Linea. I just decided I did not want to touch the Linea and leave it stock. The only change that is planned is replacing the OE front speakers with the electra 5.1 coaxials that were meant for the rear in the original plan However I do have a few pics of the front speakers and the fuse box for those who are interested. However not to fret. All the equipment sans the cleansweep is going to be used in a different car and will be the start of a new ICEing thread coming soon!  The hunt is on for a new HU. |

The wagon on the other hand has had her fair share of scratches and is unattractive to idlers. The Linea gets taken out on the weekend and whenever I have an urge for a long drive. She deserves to be driven peacefully. BTW she has about 2k on the odo now . Not to worry I am going to keep the linea for a good 6-7 years so theres lots of time to make up the miles. | |

| BHPian  | Advice please Quote:
Curious to know how your new setup sounds compared to stock. I am looking to extract some more bass from the stock HU of my Linea. Would be great if you could help me with the following, - Will there be an improvement in bass if I upgrade to better speakers? - Will the stock Hu be able to drive the speakers? - Will upgrading to better speakers void warranty? - Were any modifications done to fit the speakers on the front doors? - Anything else to be considered for doing a speaker upgrade? - What is the door damping material you are using and how much does it cost?  : Mine is a MJD Linea. Are you aware of any means by which to reduce the engine noise entering the cabin?Cheers, UKR | |

| Hahaha! Finally you ended up just changing the fronts!! Well maybe it was a good choice not to meddle with the electricals. I was at Concorde last weekend to get some niggles fixed, brake fluid top up etc etc. Noticed a champagne colored line active all locked up on the side. Enquired about it and well what do you know, our man tried fitting an autocop central locking and the ECU recognized a change in the elecs and whole car just bricked itself. Its one huge paperweight and they are yet to hear from Fiat on how to fix this situation  But then again he was messing with the keys/locking tech and the immobilizer responds to the keys. Might not have anything to do with messing with the electricals, but still {shudder}. Well is there any improvement in the sound?? B Rgds, Raj. |

| BHPian | Which speaker to use for up Quote:
My other car is a Ford Escort. Its rear speakers are fitted on the rear parcel tray. Even though not that great, it seems to give a far better bass response. May be because of the boot acting as an enclosure. | |

Your bass response would definitely be better with 6x9 ovals , however that would require installing them on he rear parcel tray which would entail cutting through the tray and could get ugly. Would not recommend it. There is however one option that seems possible and that is installing a plug and play Blaupunkt amp that is in a way designed for their OE HUs. and then connecting better speakers. However do discuss this option with your service advisor (if he is the knowledgeable sorts) and some competent person from Blaupunkt. Last edited by pranava999 : 14th October 2009 at 19:49. | |

From what ever interactions I've had with the SA, he is hardly knowledgeable on anything other than the usual service-repair stuff . I contacted the helpline number on their website, but no help from them either  . | |
