    I need a Car Audio guru

    Installed it all HakHawk! Works great! Question about LPF and Gain though; My headunit (Pioneer AVH-X3500dab) had an LPF in the subwoofer settings, does this mean that I should turn the LPF on the amp all the way counter clockwise to off?

    Thoughts? :)

    Looks sweet, I've got the same sort of bar, but I've just got myself a cheap chev one and am planning to do some custom work on it so that it's just a straight bar/badgeless grill! This definitely stands out as far as VZ grills go though

    VZ rear door speakers

    I thought maybe because they're an all in one sort of set up, mid, woofer and tweeter? Just a thought :) Haven't got them hooked up to an amp but do have the fade set to the front by a few clicks, it does help a little, still might want some decent 2 ways or something, not sure yet

    VZ rear door speakers

    G'day audio gurus! I have Kenwood KFCM1634A 3-way speakers in my rear doors currently, and it just isn't right, at loud volumes they don't cope very well, i'm guessing from the smaller woofer and mid speaker, I would maybe suggest 3way speakers for a ute, but not rear doors of a sedan. Any...

    Hand brake DVD wire

    G'day! Planning on installing my AVHX3500dab tomorrow, and as to my understanding you have toconnect a wire to the hand brake wore to engage the DVD feature, how can I bypass this? Just NOT connect it? :) Let me know! :)

    So since starting to service my car myself, I have been using the service book to remind myself what I've done ETC each service… Is this in turn ruining any credibility towards a trade price or sale price in the future? I have a feeling I've just ruined it really badly… It's not messy or...

    USB accessory plug

    Just wondering if anyone has installed something like this yet? As we're more the age of USB plugs than the "cigarette" style plug, and where you got yours, very interested in something like this, looks like a very easy solder and plug job! Cheers!

    Oil for service

    I'm servicing my VZ soon, what oil do you like best and where do you get it? I usually get fully synthetic, last time the place i went only had 5-40w and the guy said it'd be okay, but in the VZ manual doesn't it recommend 10-30w? cheers!
