Journeys are relatively short in the bus, but can’t be driving around without some tunes…

So during the interior construction I added 2 x 6.5 inch Pioneer 4-way in the front doors and 2 x 6×9 Pioneer 4-way in the rear seat for total of 200W RMS – all driven from a Sony 4 channel amp.

The input is a Acousik pre-amp in the front, which serves to give me volume/fader/eq and source selection, without a full headunit.

One reason is I have already used the dash slot for the EV gauges and is I’m generally using my cellphone (as streaming/mp3/podcast/etc) or my Sirius receiver for satellite radio, so having a CD or FM radio is not really required, so a power amp in the back and pre-amp up front is the prefect combination.

The pre-amp has source selection, so I can accept different inputs. I’ll use the Aux to provide a cascade from my high end entertainment in the 67 bus, for camping and shows, etc.
