Sorry ignore my previous post above KJW, I’ve got mixed up as I’m planning on some Audisons for the front, my sub that I fitted is actually the Kicker Hideaway. This also fits the rear shelf quite smartly, not sure if it’s as good/powerful as the Audison as I’ve never heard that one to compare.

I have the Audison sub. It’s very good. Just need to sort out the rest of the dire system, mid and high end still dreadful. Prob going to book it into Cambridge CA for their upgrade incl sound deadening.

However it is 5 years paint warranty not 3, at least on my 73 plate I believe!? But surely if you had that door replaced a day before the warranty expired, you wouldn’t just have a 1 day warranty on the new door? Surely Lotus need to take some ownership over their own poor quality?

This is mine Andy, it’s quite unobtrusive but very effective, much better bass now but the rest of the system is still very lacking. It would be easily removable (attached by Velcro) if you ever needed the storage space for a trip.

I am tempted by their Level 2 package. I already have enough bass provided by the Kicker Hideaway. So this upgrade would give new speakers in the door, add tweeters, rears, plus a new amp for more power. And sound deadening. Anyone had anything like this done by them? I would think this would...

Gooner - did you use Cambridge in the end and how were they? Could you share price etc and how much difference the sound deadening made?

Thanks Andy Yes I’ve had a look at their site, some big packages with big prices there! I’m sure they are excellent, good idea, perhaps they’d consider a more minor install. Just want tweeters added really, although I’d also be interested in sound deadening.

Am very keen to add the Alpine tweeters into those weirdly unused grille spaces. Despite the fact that I managed to install myself the Kicker Hideaway sub, I’m not quite confident enough to do the tweeter install myself. Have thoroughly read the thread about it which has great info and help from...

I added the Kicker Hideaway. I’d almost forgotten what a difference it makes until I was given another Emira as a courtesy car for a couple of days. The stock Kef is honestly embarrassing as a “premium” audio system, it has no bass whatsoever. Adding a powered sub like the Kicker is the best...

I think that’s by design - how it’s supposed to be. To turn it out of Auto mode you rotate that dial through the modes, eg a click or two to the left and it will show OFF on the screen. I don’t think pressing that button is supposed to turn it out of Auto mode.

I guess it’s cheap if you can do it yourself. Probably a bit too advanced for me! I’ll live with this for a while and then maybe look to get it done

Thank you - wouldn’t any nut do the same job but cheaper and more available? It needs to be a U clip?
