Let me paint the picture.... I love my music, and I love the Sonos speakers i have invested in to enjoy wireless, quality tones throughout the house, but i chose them for very obvious reasons: the sound is ace (yes, you can get better) and they really are a 'plug and play' dream.
And there's the giveaway - I know NOTHING about how to even start upgrading my audio system in the Kombi, yet I really want to know what i need to invest in, to create a decent quality richness of sound for me and the fam. The things that I am struggling with are:
1. What's the factory head unit like - what are it's limitations and what's the main reason for most of you upgrading? Having never had DAB before - its sublime, so why change?
2. I really want speakers in the rear of our Kombi (its not a camper, its basically for storing bikes and sheltering from poor weather), but i need to know if that can be done from the existing head unit, or is that why people upgrade?
3. When do i need to install an amp - is it for anything additional to what is already installed in the factory build?
4. The subwoofer under the passenger seat - how do passengers honestly feel about it?
I have searched through the threads on the forum and I'll be honest, I get lost within a few posts, especially when I see some of the wiring images.... I'm not afraid to get stuck in, but I just need to understand some basics!!! Is there a guide out there that can provide an overview for absolute dummies like me. If you are like me, and don't know where to start, back me up!!
Thanks for any help, mockery, jibes, provocative trolling and sincere support.
