jinxue Posted 19, September 2013 Report Share Posted 19, September 2013 Hey everyone Just recently picked up a brand new rs265 cup+ edition couple days ago. Absolutely loving the car. Have actually been following the forums for a few weeks now as previously waiting for car delivery. Its been only 3 day so far and I feel I'm liking it more than my 370z as I've been driving my z for about 3 years. It didn't come with xenon's so gonna get the hid kit installed in couple days and also tint the car. Is there anything anyone recommends me doing? I'm still totally clueless as what to do in regards to the audio.. The base is all distorted/screwed up at 20+ and when demo without arkamys the base was OK. Need advice whether if just doing speakers/sub's/amps will help a lot or should I change HU? Coming from the z the Bose system was great. Honestly don't need it as loud as the z when the bass shakes the whole car but just want louder and clear audio around up to 25(Bluetooth steaming) willing to spend up to $1k-$2k Cheers everyone Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nassy Posted 19, September 2013 Report Share Posted 19, September 2013 Congrats mate, I picked up a 265 cup + a few days ago as well and I'm loving it. Like you, I'm interested in upgrading the headlights, where are you getting the HID kit from? Sent from my HTC_PN071 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted 19, September 2013 Report Share Posted 19, September 2013 Welcome. Stereo is a bit sh*t in them.. well its a lot sh*t TBH, especially for a modern car. There are a few threads hear about upgrades ranging from a simple powered sup to full on installs, just have a dig around. Enjoy the new car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onurbmil Posted 19, September 2013 Report Share Posted 19, September 2013 If you want to stay legal but go with the white look you can simply get Philips crystal visions. Hids on non hid headlights can be very blinding to oncoming traffic. I hate them as much as rear fogs...

DerrickC Posted 20, September 2013 Report Share Posted 20, September 2013 Welcome! I've changed the H/U on mine and it does wonders. The volume can go louder without distortion even with stock speakers, though it definitely lacks any sort of bass. I'm incrementally upgrading my system.

You can retain volume control if you purchase the wiring harness for the correct brand. Only major thing you will lose is the display of radio channels on the screen. It will just show permanently "Renault Sport" if RS monitor isn't being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
