I spoke to Cambridge Car Audio today - Dominic wasn't in but I spoke to someone else.

I'm afraid I pretty much had the same experience as I've had at every other audio 'specialist' - they don't know anything about cars more than 10 years old and are convinced that because my car's interior is not moulded out of one giant piece of grey plastic there is nowhere to fit speakers, and I have no right to a decent sounding car stereo anyway because I'm driving a classic car.

This car is my daily driver, not some polished gem wheeled out on Sunday afternoons. It just happens to have a '74 registration.

Anyway, I had already explained to them that the car was totally stripped out so new speakers could be fitted anywhere I decided, but I was instantly told that there would not be room for speakers larger than 4" in the doors, and no room at all for rear speakers. I _have_ rear speakers right now! (well, did until they were stripped out). There's room for a 6" speaker back there. MGB's have just as much (maybe more) space inside than Mazda MX5's, but I bet they wouldn't talk to an MX5 owner as though they were insane!

I'm sick of being told nonsense facts about my own car, and not listened to when I explain what I've got and what I want. I don't know what it is - sexism? I guess they just don't want my money... :(
