PJT Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Focals seem to be the ones mentioned a lot.. But I have heard some say they are not worth the trouble of changing them. I got as far as almost ordering some myself. I enjoy a nice stereo as must as any fella, but I can't say I use the lotus one at all. If I am doing longer, duller journeys in a Lotus, I tend to stick a pair of quality earbuds in which have the dual function of quietening the journey and producing better sound.

Stik Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I also wear headphones if i'm doing a long journey. With the speakers you have to turn the music up so loud to really appreciate it over the top of the road and wind noise that it feels like it's making an already dangerous situation worse. I already get that "it's 3am and the club has closed" feeling after a long journey, without the added sound pressure from a stereo boosted to overcome it. On top of that, even if you replace the speakers they're still tiny little things and there's no bass response at all. When I had my VX I remember meeting someone at an event who had put one of those slimline subwoofers that are meant to go under seats in normal cars behind the seats in the VX on the little shelf, but it still wasn't particularly effective, and he'd lost a pretty valuable storage space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattielad Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I do get what your all saying about the speakers and is it really worth it ? But . When I have the wife in the car , I have to. Well drive like an old man if you get what I mean . SO ! I was thinking if the music was a little louder . She wouldn't hear the exhaust so much 😆 .

I like your style😂. How about earbuds for your good lady then, and you can enjoy the exhaust noise without having it ruined by Michael Buble.

Jonathan E Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Replaced the oem speakers in mine with Focals, they’re a bit better and useful if stuck I traffic, nothing is ever going to be great in an Elise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
