"MINI pumps up the volume (21.10.2004)

The Digital Power Sound Module (DPSM) is the latest and loudest addition to MINI's range of in-car entertainment accessories.

Approximately three times more powerful than the average home stereo, the DPSM has a full range digital amplifier that kicks out an awesome 660 watts of power.

With a whisper measuring around 30 decibels, normal conversation approximately 60 decibels and screams from a concert crowd reaching 126 decibels, the DPSM's ability to produce128 decibels of sound through its six high performance speakers make it the ultimate in-car accessory for music-mad MINI owners, who like their tunes played loud and clear.


The Digital Power Sound Module is a retro-fit accessory and is priced at £995 including fitting. It can only be fitted in conjunction with Radio BOOST. and is available from any official MINI dealership."

$1800 for this DPSM is quite steep but we have to wait to hear it to see if it's worth the $.

 

Won't the stock head unit be a weak link in this expensive set-up? Is there a sub included? Probably not since they wouldn't want to take up the already limited boot space.
