Cheers mate.

I can't see myself doing tints anytime soon but they do look good.

Spend some time is arvo trying to fix the problem of trim rattle from the Sony speakers. Actually sanded down the spacer on the front passenger side door, that was the one with the most rattle by far. I took a couple of MM off it and seems to have mostly fixed the problem. Also decieded that I want some more bass from my set-up so I will invest in an amp and sub woofer.

What amp and subwoofer are you looking at? I've got the goods and am thinking about putting them up for sale.

It's probably gonna be a Sony amp and sub to match the whole system I have. What you got Gazza?

I have an Axis Audio amp and a 15" MTX Pro Competition sub (click the links for random pics of what they look like). They were all working together in the sound system I had in my VL and VS Commodore and have never missed a beat. The sub box might need attention, if not a new box, but the MTX sub itself is good.

I can get proper pics of my stuff if you would like to see them as well man, no problems whatsoever. Let me know if you're keen.

Seriously those are far better than sony ever will be for sound quality

[Harry88]

Cheers. No need for pics just yet. What are you chasing for them?

Mate, I'd be lying if I said I had prices in mind. I wouldn't have a clue... I could do some research tomorrow and see how much they're going for for you if you like?

Yeah I've heard (and experienced) MTX for some time now and they are amazing. I really like the quality and just how long they last. They perform really well as well. The amp was random and I hadn't heard of them before the day I bought it. How do they go compared to what's on the market, Ash?

Considering the best thing we sell is JL Audio (I do like JL, hence amps and subs are just this), they go quite well

All good. Poor as fark at the moment so no rush at all.

Also saw this online. Seemed like a damn good deal for the price. Even with shipping.

My whole car is JL! Haha. Except the HU... I'd be broke if they made them too.

Nice, good to hear that I've got some decent equipment then, ha ha.

Completely understand man. I'll let you know what I come up with man. If not tomorrow, definitely Tuesday and we can work from there.

I picked up a Clarion APX1301 amp off gumtree today for $30. Its a mono amp so it should work nicely when I get a sub.

Beauty. So cheap too... Nice man.

Got around to picking up a Sub and Amp wiring kit today. I picked up a 12" US-Audio sub from Autobarn and US Audio 8 guage 2 way wiring kit to go with it. I had Cam give me a hand to install it into the car. Took around 2 hours to get it all done. Sounds pretty good. Really ads a nice bass note to all my music now. Just need to play around with the amp to get the sound just right. Once again thanks to Cam for helping out. What a top bloke!

 

Installing RCA's from headunit and hiding the wires.

 

Running speaker wire to the boot.

 

 

Tidying up the mess of wires to and from the amp. Pretty happy with how that looks. I really wanted to go for a factory look.

 

 

Cam's seal of approval. Also used heavy duty velco to hold sub and amp down.

 

Also test fitted some 18" wheels Cam had and it looked so tough on my car. So new wheels will probably be the next mod.

Nice work harry

[Liberty]

Nice work on the installation. Is that the same sub you're selling?

[Harry88]

Correct. Deal was buy one get one free at Autobarn. Didn't need the 2nd sub.

[Liberty]

Awesome deal.

 

Your car is actually quite clean, especially underneath where the seats are supposed to sit...

My interior is pretty dirty atm. I normally keep it spotless, just like it came off the showroom floor. I will have it perfect for the HV cruise if you wanted to check it out.
