I wish I could love mediocrity (a sigma) as much as you do. System sounds the goods though, got any pics?

What a slick looking Sigma, and a beautiful story :)

Some photos of the install would be awesome!

The Sigma sounded absolutely magnificent. Paul, sorry to hear about the beast. More important, how are you after getting rear ended? Haven't had much time to get onto PSB lately. When's the upgrade coming from the CBF Posted Image? I'm off the bike at the moment, had to go to make a house possible. Looking forward to a new S1000RR in a couple of years, that's my motivation for not riding at the moment Posted Image

I faired pretty well from the rear ender. I was in full gear so my only injuries was bruising, mostly from getting thrown forward and copping the RHS bar end in the guts. I got checked out by the doctor and was basically told to take it easy for a while.
CBF got knocked about a bit. About $1,500 bucks worth. It's still ridable. I had to change the broken front brake handle but apart from that, it's all cosmetic. Bar ends, mirror, peg, mudguard, instrument housing, can, etc.

Upgrade? I was on my way to the riding school for my R class test when I got hit. (which I passed). Already test ridden the Honda CB400 & kawa ninja 650P. Posted Image

As for the replacement for the sigma, well I am taking a severe downgrade there. I'm inheriting the wifes 1996 Mazda 323 auto sedan. 1.6 litres of unbridled grunt. Posted Image
The car already has a reasonable system in it, Basically a lot of my spared bits n pieces. I've already swapped the head unit and amp for the DVA-9861 & MRV-F405, but Im still far from happy with the front stage. Might just go for some nice and easy co ax's, or muck around with a basic split system. Not sure yet.

The wife is getting a new car, likely to be a Corolla sedan. Beauty of that is it has a double din head unit and 6x9 in the rear parcel shelf and a single 12 inch in a cubic foot box should be a breeze.

I guess one good thing about the sigma's demise is that Ill probably be more active around here for a while. You never know, I may actually need to ask a technical question about car audio! Posted Image
Certainly motorvation to come down and see you at least!
