Soundpacket installation

[carvalho]

Hi all,

I'm sorry to write in englis but is because I don't speak garman.

My question is:
Can I install the aftermarket sound packet? Or it's better the smart center do it?
If I can do that, Can you supply me all the fitting instructions?

Thanks in advance.

[Oeffi]

Well I don`t know if you can do that. For me i have to say I can do it.
It`s only the High-Sound-Speakers you have to install.
If you ask me, it think it`s better to install a other System.

Hello and welcome in our Forum :)

As far as I know, it depends on when your SMART was build.
If you have a Newliner
(build after 09/2000) you do NOT have the good speakers from Nokia with the Bass-Reflex-Boxes. So you have to install them and throw those paperspeakers away that are installed.

If your Smart is build before 09/2000 you are lucky because you already have the better speakers, you only need to install the highrange speakers on the top in front (and the 'frequenzweiche').

For Pictures and (sorry but german) instructions search here in the forum for 'soundpacket' , and then pick the topic 'Selbstmontage Soundpaket : wie gehts ?'

Hi again,

I bought the car in last month (11/2001)...

So, I have to change all the stuff!

Can I do it? Or it's better contact the smart center to replace the speakers?

Hi carvalho

thats bad. It is a NewLiner. Your have to buy a lot of thinks to get a Sound-Paket.

Well i think it`s better to look for other 2 Way Speakers as to by a Sound-Paket.
If you do so you get a better Sound.

You can buy this Speakers at a Car-Sound Dealer. You can ask them to install the Speakers.
This will be cheaper than buy a Sound-Paket and you hear a better Sound.

Hi Carvalho,

Welcome to the Smart-Forum. Others said, it's the forum of the people with the right car :)

Well, I had a Smart& pulse cabrio as a rental car. The sound was BAD. My " oldline" passion had even with the original-system a better sound.

As the others had written, I think it's better to change the system in a non-smart system. They're cheaper and better.

Where do you come from ?

If you need any help - we will always help you

Hi,

Thank's for the amazing support from all off you, guys!

I'm live in Portugal, so it's unlike you can help me :(

My problem is:
I want to keep the original smart radio/cassete unit. Or later, change for the CD unit (not the CD changer unit).

The smart sound pack cost, in Portugal, 125 euros plus installation. This pack includes new separate speakers (woofer and tweeter) and a frequency amplifier or anything like this, I don't know exactly...

Do you think I need install more components for the smart sound pack?
It's better install another separate speakers or install the smart sound pack?

Thanks again!

[Oeffi]

Well if you will change later to a not Smart-Car Radio with CD and you have the Sound-Paket you need a frequency Splicer. This part of the Sound-Paket is a Input device for the Smart-Radio only. It seperates the Sound for the high Level and give more power for these High-Level-Speakers.

So i think it`s better to get other 2 Way separate speakers.

Nicht das ihr euch wundert, was jetzt folgt ist nur spanisch, vielleicht versteht er ja nicht nur portuguisisch und er kriegt somit endlich seine erhofte Antwort. Scheinbar helfen Ihm eure Antworten in Englich nicht besonders weiter, er formuliert nämlich seine Frage zum x-ten mal immer wieder neu.
Und wenn er als Potuguise kein Spanisch kann, dann hat er halt Pech gehabt.

Hola, que tal,

espero que entiendas mejor el espanol que yo el ingles.
Lo que te recomiendo es que te dejes montar el original Sound Paket de Smart.
Creo que con otros alta*****s no alcanzaras mejor sonido.
Si tienes mala suerte, alomejor te gastas mas dinero que lo que pide smart por el Sound-Paket y al final suena peor.
Por enzima te cobran mucho menos por el sound-paket que a nosotros en alemania.
Y tenlo en cuenta, el instalar el soundpaket por ti mismo yo no te lo reconmendaria.
Lo unico que puedes hacer es danarte los plasticos y fastidiarte los altavoces.
Si se lo dejas montar a ellos, corren ellos el riesgo y tu te lavas las manos si al final no suena. Entonces tienen que arreglarlo/buscar la falta sin poderte pedir una peseta.
Creeme, desde 10 anos llevo montando equipo de alta fidelidad en coches, por eso se, que por este dinero no puedes comprar altavoces que suenen mejor que los del soundpaket.
Tendrias que implantar amplificadores y una installacion professional con cables que valen la pena y esto te costaria diez veces mas dinero que lo que piden por el soundpaket.
Por eso, no te rompas la cabeza y dejate instalar el soundpaket, creo que te hara mas feliz que el estar buscando durante un meses un mejor sonido.
Saludos, Antonio

Hi Soundsmart,

I understand your spanish but I prefer english... Sorry... :)

But you are right!!!!

Today I spoke to Smart Portugal and they explained everything to me:
the 2 original main speakers are replaced to others with the same size, I guess, but from BOSE.
Then they add the tweeters and the frequency amplifier. This little unit is placed near (or inside) de original smart radio.
All this stuff is what I get from the price off 125euros.

It's much cheaper compared to replacing the speakers from another brand. And probably I get a better sound for the money.

I think I will replace myself the speakers with the help of a friend who has a lot of experience doing this kind of jobs.
Can you supply me any fitting instaructions? or recomend a site who describes the process?

Thanks in advance.


And now for Thommy,

I found this site when I was searching for replacing speakers in smart. Et voilá... I'm here. And happy with the comments :-D

Thanks for everything. I just got my Smart for 3 weeks...

[Oeffi]

Well I forgot something ....

wellcome to the Smart Forum
and best drive with the new Car.

I hope you finish the install of the Speakers son.
