Im buying my ralliart today.........and i saw the sun and sound package option, just wanted to know what this includes

 

subwoofer and a moonroof. Infinity sound system... thats what I got. I like it.

 

S&S package is 2500 bucks isn't it?

My G.F. got her powered electronic moonroof installed for 600 bucks. You can put one hell of a stereo in for that extra 2k....

I got mine without the S&S package. Moonroofs eventually leak & cause rusting problems, and I figured I could put a killer stereo in it eventually.

Might be worth it to get it all factory though, see what kind of deal they give you.

Enjoy your new Ralli///Art!!!

 

S&S is 1400 bucks.....

I think it's worth it. Saves you the trouble of having audio gear installed, and it sounds pretty good too.

 

Yeah - the sound quality is excellent. In '04, the S & S also requires side air bags (also a good thing - plus saves you money on insurance). I have it and am very pleased.

 

I find that most people seem to like the sound , the people who don't are expecting way to much from a 8" sub.

 

the S & S does not require side air bags. i have it and dont have them.

 

so it comes with a sub already.........does that mean i wouldnt be able to get another sub later on and put it in?

 

You should have no problem tearing that sub out and putting in aftermarket subs. Keep in mind you'll need to install a second amplifier to power the new subs, as I doubt the stock amp has all that much punch to it, as well as probably cannot handle low ohm levels (probably 8, *maybe* 4, most sub setups run at 2).

Personally, I plan on passing on the S&S package. The moonroof is going to cause more problems down the road than I want to deal with (some people say theirs are already squeaking and such), and for $1,400, I can build/install a much better sound system (which I will). Personal preference, though, I'm kinda an audio snob.

 

I'm an audio snob too...and I think for balance/tone, etc....it's quite good. Bass? Well, it won't hit like a bonafide 12" would, but it fills it in pretty nicely.

For adding stuff later down the road, all you would have to do is pick up an aftermarket reciever with a sub-out. You can run the stock amp off the front/rear pre-outs (with the soundgate cable adaptor), and that will leave the sub-out free for an additional sub.

My moonroof squeaks every once in a while, but you gotta have a moonroof. What fun is it staring at a grey ceiling?

 

Also, you have to understand that the S&S is 1400 total. You think like maybe 400-500 for the moonroof? That's 800-900 left for the Infinity system. I'm not sure a system could be built and installed for that amount that could compare (quality-wise) to the Infinity.

I've had 2 systems in my past two cars (one Boston Acoustics/Alpine, and one JL/Alpine), and yeah...they pounded out clean bass like crazy, but they couldn't hold a candle to the tonal balance of this system. Plus....the stock amplifier doesn't clip at high volumes; whereas my past two Alpine HU's did.

 

I totally agree, the balance of this system beats any system i've had.
Plus you can listen to whatever you want and it comes out sounding good
the alpine system I had I was always fighting between too much bass or too much treble.

 

I got my S&S package for FREE. get that FREE.... hehehe

 

dont get the S&S you could spend that 1400 on an aftermarket audio system and it would sound way nicer i think. but unno your car. your money. you dont really need a moonroof do you????

 

i didn't get the S&S because i didn't want to lose the head room
