New Premium Sound Package Announced! - LotusTalk

DaveJ · 03-02-2006, 03:36 PM

Lotus Cars USA has been fielding complaints from consumers and dealers alike in regard to the Lack of performance in the Sound system department.
It has been brought to my attention that a new premium sound package for the Lotus Elise has become an option.
I have pics of the package that I will post for you all to see.
The package is only $895 and includes this light weight 10 watt 3X4 speaker. In keeping with the Performance through Light Weight standards, the package only adds about 7 ounces to the weight of the vehicle in total. This means you'll still be able to zip through the track with ease, passing ferraris and other expensive exotics. The only difference is that now, you can play your driving music loud and proud!

Do I need an amp?

On a more serious note, there will be a Club111 custom stereo install at Polk Audio's home office in May. This will be performed by Polk Audio themselves!

Details to follow............

Isn't this the same one that your dealership ran on ebay for $2895 "buy it now"??

DaveJ · 03-02-2006, 04:05 PM

yup. that's the one.

DaveJ · 03-02-2006, 05:21 PM

As a matter of fact, the whole reason that I put that Exige on ebay for such a rediculous price is so that no one would bid on it.
This time it's different. I expect everyone to buy these $895 3x4" speakers for Three Thousand dollars.

Group buy?
Comon guys this is hot...whos in?

Ian · 03-02-2006, 05:48 PM

Throw in some 20" dubs, lamborghini doors and a diamond studded grill and I'm in on the group buy.

Please, someone tell me this is a joke?!?!?!
I thought that deck mounted speakers went away in the 80's! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZNxmk552YYUS' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/chuckle.gif' alt='The Speaker Chuckles' border=0></a>
When someone comes in our stereo shop with those types of speakers, we call them UFO's,
because when they come loose...Look Out!!

That's sick man. i don't know if my HU will power a 10W speaker but maaaaannnn if it does, think i can mount a pair of them up there? I am not concerned about weight, because the hydros shaved off about 50lbs.

peahee · 03-14-2006, 10:00 AM

Wow, the first 2 pictures made the speaker look like they were 12" subs. Then the third picture came in with the little arrow pointing to it, made the 12" subs turn into a 2" inch sub. hahahaha.. coo, I like, that's hot. ..
