My audio upgrade for "Watt ME" - Reus Audio

[Jason S]

How has this impacted your range? I know subs can be draining on a regular battery / alternator set up. Ive ordered the P85.

The amount of energy required for a sound system is soo small to not matter at all to the car's range. Heating/cooling matters much much more.

No noticeable impact on range. No impact on the 12v either. I monitor the health of the 12v with a battery monitor.

For those of you in the DFW area, I added a DFW group buy thread. We got one taker so far...

How about my fellow Denver metro S owners: anyone else interested in trying to put together a group buy?

Thanks for the prompt responses. Does this in any way void the warranty?

Update on Reus upgrades for the model S
Spoke with Rick yesterday and they are coming to the Ny area soon, 2-3 weeks to do installs. Apparently between Teslive and these boards they have had a lot of interest so there will be some group buy discount.
Anyone in the NY, NJ, CT area who is interested should contact Reus about details and scheduling the upgrade.
Note that the group buy applies to any Tesla right now, not just the east coast ones.
Can't wait to upgrade WattMe. I understand that the demo at Teslive was great.

Curious about how they will handle any warranty claims since they are not local.

I'm all about giving businesses a 2nd chance or even 3rd. Just be careful fellow MS owners.

Hopefully Rick's business practices have improved drastically.

Man it's been a while since I've been on 6speed. Some of those Reus testimonials are downright scary. I haven't received my P85+ yet, but I'm a bit of an audiophile, I'll give a good listen and then decide if it's worth tinkering with the sound system.

Normally, I mod all of my performance vehicles, but I think with Model S, I might just tint and go.

I agree. I was actually considering the system before reading those testimonials. When it comes down to it, how a company presents itself is important, but the after service is even more critical. Out of curioisity how dark on the tint? I really don't think there's much that needs to be tinkered with on the P85+.

I live in Vegas so it gets pretty hot here, the legal limit is 35%, I've gone as dark as 20% on previous cars, but I think I'll just stick to 35% all the way around on this one, and maybe some light tint on the windshield like 60-70%. Like I said, I used to mod my cars extensively, but I think this car is pretty good on it's own. Unless the chrome door handles burn to the touch, I don't see myself wrapping those either.

He (Rick) was given many chances to make things right, but chose to do the wrong thing. So I am just sharing my experience. Your exp may be different.

Not much for me to say other than this has not been my experience. My boxster system was installed in NY when they said as they agreed. They have been totally transparent about timing and process for the MS. Their sound systems truly are musical with great sound stage.

 

[Adstein]

For the doubters, Reus has just confirmed my NY install for next week exactly as agreed. Apparently there are at least 8 other Ny/Boston installs. I'll post my experience with the system once it is done.

Where in NY are you guys getting it done? What is the price range?

 

[SUPRKAR]

I am going to get the Rues system as well. New Jersey just outside Staten Island is my location. Anyone in my area that wants a system can contact Cliff at Rues to set it up.

 

[Adstein]

My install will be in Nassau county at the same detailing shop where they did my other car years ago. I am getting a $4k system with the dual woofers, replaced amp, replaced midrange, tweeters and a few other items.

look forward to your review.

I'm going to be picking Cliff up at the airport and helping him as much as I can to shuttle him to the various locations he will do installs, including Westchester NY, Boston MA, NJ, West Chester PA (possibly) and MD....

Well, it's been a couple weeks. How did it go?
