The Webasto unit is a bit too cheaply build. Not a bad unit but the fan is made from mild steel and tends to corrode because of the condensation. I have one in the guest area it still works after 4 ye

Hi Mohammad, Yes the speakers come as a set. You can discard the high-pass filter that is supplied with the tweeters as this is already present in the bass module. Kind regards, Arno SV Luna, A54-121

Dear Forum, Many of the Amels carry a Bose Acoustimass speaker system, either the 2+1 or 4+1 system. Although a good choice of Amel given the space it requires, Bose has this strange thing I always fo

It was not a factory option although several Amel 54s have it. It was a product made available by a third party in La Rochelle at the time the 54 was in production. Although it has some nice features
