I have finally succeded installing the new Sinfoni amplifiers. To my surprise, the sound was similar to the VRX on mids and highs but faster and more precise on midbass and sub. It's a double success : better sound and much lower weight. the 3 VRX amps + 2 MDF boards had 40Kg and the 4 Sinfonis + aluminium mounts have only 15Kg !
Weight deducted until now :
- subwoofer + enclosure > 34.5Kg
- spare wheel + tools > 17.5Kg
- MDF board over the amps > 8.2Kg
- Rear seats > 27.5Kg
- Front reinforcing bar > 1.8Kg
- S3 hubs > 3Kg
- Braking system > 12Kg
- 18'' wheels > 2Kg
- Recaro seats > 18Kg
- Lower rear bench > 5Kg
- Sinfoni amplifiers > 25Kg
TOTAL until now : 154.5Kg

Bruce, those are all good choices but Nelson improved even more the sound on the new generations (XA.5 and X.5). I'm using the XP10 preamp & X250.5 amp combo in my house and they are great amplifiers with insane levels of dynamics and crystal clean output !
Going back to the car now, does anyone have a comparison between the OEM/CARBON versions of the hood and trunk lid) ? I know the OEM hood is 15Kg but don't know how much for the boot lid. I also don't know the weigt of the Seibon equivalents. I'm looking for the vented hood that Seibon makes but they have a shaved version and a normal version. Wich is the weight on each ? Can they be painted black if they are carbon ?
the bruce:
Sadly I had my hands on a brand new genuine Becker/VWM hood in 2010,
but I decided against it.
If you can afford it I would send an email to Bildon and Becker Carbon who
manufacture the carbon parts for Volkswagen.
ps:
great amps !! :happy2:
I use horn speaker and so I need very little power. The Aleph J is my second
Pass DIY project after the PearlOno.
