My parents gave me a dodge neon to commute back and forth to school with last year, and over the summer I put in a pretty nice sound system ($3000ish). And being a thirteen year young neon, 3 months after I put everything into it it breaks down and goes to car heaven
.
My parents have allowed me to drive a van to school now which I can't put my system into, so I'm pretty much stuck without good sounding music in my day.
Naturally, I need to get music back in my life. I have sony mdr-v500s right now that I listen to all the time, and they aren't cutting it- I never even thought you could have good sounding headphones (Hoping to be proven wrong very soon).
So after cruising these forums I decided to buy the alessandro ms-1 (Just ordered them).
I will be running these off of a 5th gen DIYipod I just finished
(I was going to run it to my car system, but now I'll never know how it would sound) (Also don't have a headphone amplifier...)
Sorry for sidetracking so much, but I thought I'd share my unfortunate tale.
My question for you is- would it be logical to take the drivers out of the alessandro and put them into the sony v500s, then cut away the back of the sonys to make it vented like the ms-1? (Placing a mesh grill in place of the hole, or something of that sort)
And if I were to do this would the sound still be great quality (Equal to the alessandros, rather)?
I have done enough that I feel pretty confident in my abilities to do this swap, but obviously I won't if it would sound bad.
And I hate to be vain here, but personally I love the look of the sonys, the alessandros... not so much. Lastly, I have heard plenty of negativity regarding the comfort of the ms1 which is potentially another reason to change
Any help would be appreciated
