[W126 Coupe] Audio for 560 SEC

[Dawid Loubser]

Hi Jim,

Yes I'm a big Kappa fan. Though my SEC has stock audio (which is,  
admittedly, very very impressive for something
brought out in 1986) I have Kappa's in my 1963 Fintail, powered by  
Sony XPlod amplification :-) (quite discreetly
fitted - but I don't care *that* much about the originality of that  
car, it's more a fun thing)

Good amplification is important yes, but that are so accurate... They  
never "tire" the ears. I would love to
experiment and see if I can drop in Kappas into the SEC's standard  
mountings, and if the standard
amplification / head unit is good enough, as changing those is non- 
negotiable. But, on the other hand,
as I said, I'm happy with the stock sound.

Tell me a bit more about your setup?

Dawid
