In Car Entertainment (ICE) for the Abarth 500
When wishing to do a complete Audio replacement our resident Audiophile Justin has just the equipment to satisfy any music nerd. Here's what he has installed to look like a factory setup, but performs to a professional level.
"I am extremely happy with the passive set up. It is perfect for my listening style being Jazz fusion (Alan Holdsworth, Frank Gamble etc...) to Metal (Strapping Young Lad, the Faceless etc...)
I wont get too nerdy so I'll keep it short and sweet....
The Kenwood deck is amazing as I am able to adjust the hi pass, low pass filters across all speakers with ease and also time alignment.
Yes this set up was expensive, but if you are a musician and have good ears, you have to pay for good sound as anything inferior is unbearable (as was the factory unit for me).

Speakers:

If I had empty pockets however... I would highly recommend an active set up. That is the next level of nerd-dom. For that set up I would recommend"
