I tried an M3 with a full Scorpion system on it for weekend once and it nearly drove me mad on the motorway. Last time I changed mine I opted for a standard centre box and Scorpion back box. That combination leaves the 'noise' outside the car but outside sounds great! I often like to drive with the window open just so I can listen to the sweet sound, it's very distinctive. Ask Placey, he always knows when I'm in town because of it! I find it very liveable with on an auto, not too much up and down drone.

Don't bother Daz. Becky's car has a Scorpion system and due to the fact it's auto, you get a terrible drone when driving it.

This problem will soon be gone though as we're ditching the auto in favour of a manual sport box.
