OK, thanks for the challenge to ask you questions? Here goes. I have the 2014 XJL, and the 2015 F-Type S. I want to fix the Meridian base system in the F. I need to change out the "Mid" range speakers, and don't know the dimensions. I am looking for something like Focals, and hear that this simple upgrade of the speakers makes a big difference over the Meridian mids. What are the dimensions and what do you suggest? Please advise, as I love the highs out of these tweeters, and want to "minimize the reverb in the panels and introduce some mid-range sound", which would round out this system well.

Thanks a lot,
Please advise if Focals or another brand would do the trick!

Default 1993 XJS - Sound system question

Hi Jake,

I have a 1993 V12 XJS and have a problem with the factory fit sound system. It has the multi CD changer in the boot.

The head unit lights up and has power but no sound is coming out of the speakers.

Do you know if there is an amplifier somewhere as this may have blown?

Cheers

I finally found the problem. After pulling all the shrouding away from the unit in the trunk, I noticed a heavy wire with a strange plug on it. Would you believe that this was it? I realized that this plug was supposed to be connected to the unit. After incerting it, my cd/am/fm/tape unit worked as advertised. Thank you all for submitting so many ideas. I had waded through all of them. They also made me think as well.

I've a 2002 x type with the 6 cd changer in trunk. The stereo recognizes the CD player but always says the slots are empty. I took the changer out - checked all the connections (seems ok), but the problem persists. Any ideas on what the issue may be?

Bought a low mileage 2008 jag s type a year ago. Apparently Sirius was an option for latter years s types. Dealer in Scottsdale doesn't deal with this any more and referred me to a Phoenix audio shop, now no longer in business. Suggestions?

Hi. I'm replacing the head unit in my 1997 xk8 convertible. Can you recommend a wiring harness adapter that will work with the car's factory wiring and a Sony GS Series MEXGS610BT CD Car Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth, NFC Pairing & App Remote SmartPhone Control? Any help is much appreciated.
