Hi Soria and welcome!

Where did you get that monochrome Alfa badge? I saw that on one 156 here too...

Do you have any photos about your sound installation? Seems very nice!

Hi Paso, I love your gtv

The black badge is only a stick put on the original badge. The result is nice and cheap. I bought them from a friend here in Spain who made sticks. It is a very good option if your badge is worn out like the one of my car. If you are interested in them, I can tell him and maybe we can send you a pair . Here is a photo:

And I'm sorry, but I don't have here pics of the installation but it was a bit awkward , i made some 5'25" adapters for the gtv's doors with DM wood to eliminate vibrations and noise, wiring all car... but the gtv has a good thing, the battery is at the back so the cable that connect amplifier to battery can be shorter . Finally, i made the subwoofer Box with bass reflex to get good sound in the interior of the car and it hit so hard . It was difficult to introduce the box in the gtv.. so small boot, i had to design a proper box and it fits taking up all the space in one side of the boot. I promise i will take photos and share them with you.

P.S: sorry for my english, i could make many mistakes!

Tnx!

I am looking for this b&w badge for my wife's 156 Sportwagon, I have the original badge in a good shape, but this seems like a great match for a golden color 156. I was searching the eBay for them, but no luck...

Thanks for the details about your sound installation. I am trying to upgrade mine, so I am curious about what fellow owners did in their cars!

Your English is more than adequate, most of us here are not native speakers!

Well, then, if you want the b/w sticks, tell me and we will try to prepare a pair of sticks to send you to Croatia

I have some knowledge about sound systems and installation, you can ask me any doubt you have and I will try to answer you .

Hi Soria,

I have searched on the net about your speakers and they have a mounting depth of 61mm.

The speakers I want to install on my Gtv have a mounting depth of 77mm.

My question is,

What was the dimension of the DM wood that you used in order to avoid the back of the speakers to interfere with the electric window assembly?

Is there enough space?

Hi Thanos,

That was a problem in the GTV, the front speakers can't be so much depth, I don't have here the exact measure that the speaker can fit.. You should mesure the depth of the hole before buying that speakers.. cause they are too deep and can cause problems with the window system, i think 77mm is too much. My DM wood was 10mm depth.

Thank you very much for the info!

I knew that the speakers had too much depth from the first place on the other hand their price was really good for their quality so I took the risk.

I hope that I will be able to fit a DM wood of 20mm depth between there.

Otherwise they will go to the back.

We shall see...
