In-car entertainment
Looking through the dashboard sticky, i noticed that quite a few cars have been fitted with radio's. Surley these cant be heard in normal
driving?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

In the bec you cant hear the passenger so a radio is out the question. In a cec with the doors on you may hear it but the background noise is just a
huge obstical to over come. We use mp3 players but its still noisy.
Ear plugs are a very good idea...very very good idea

I thought it was illegal to use earphones when driving (i know the plod wont see it under my helmet)

In something like a Libra it would work quite well but anything sevenesque I wouldn't bothered.

The Falcon has 4 50w speakers through an amp on the back wall aimed at my head, I could hear the radio very well even with the sidewindows off and a
side exhaust

I fitted an amp (100W) with an ipod input for my French trip, at anything over 30mph, it was a complete waste of time. To be able to listen to it at
30, the volume was so loud that you were deafened at the lights!!
Took it out to save weight when I got back

Koss headphones.
they reduce the noise coming from the car, so you dont have to have it so loud. buds are like a earlplug with a thin tube through which all the sound
comes from.
