        I was surprised when I was making the decking for Bellerophon that actually the base out of temeraire fit exactly?
So the time has come to discuss what I should do to regain some significant bump from the stereo?
The system as it stands is a Sony 4x100 class D head unit feeding a pair of 130mm yellow series kickers in the front supported by a 200mm active pioneer underseat sub. Having lost the rear deck and therefore the rear footwell enclosure running a further pair of 175mm yellow kickers it's now effectively missing a good chunk of mid range go. It was never a pa system but could be heard.
Now I seem to remember that the rear door cards are too close fitting to the shell to allow the use of rings to increase the available diameter of the rear factory positioning hence the enclosure in the foot wells. A set of 100mm would I guess help a little but size does matter in this instance. Oh and whoever designed the door cards to have the seats come out to get at the speaker location is a plank.

        I'm getting intrusive thoughts again about smaller road tyres and lower springs!

        So these intrusive thoughts. I have found that I could get a cheaper all terrain in 205.60r15 which is a drop of 6% or 40mm off the diameter. It would come with the benefit of the speedometer being even lower than actual than it currently is while actively reducing acceleration time and improving braking and suspension reaction time as well as improving turn in. Not cheap though as I still have loads of life in the current tyres. Hmmm?
