    My VZ monaro

    My VZ Executive

    in my opinion - work out what you want and a budget, nothing worse than getting something you dont exactly want and then replacing it later on with what you wanted first up well the only rockford stuff i have left is the amp wiring kit, as i left the rockford power series splits and power six...

    Car speakers - 2way, 3way, speakers splits. what does it all mean??

    i don't know what model calais your talking about but mine had 6inch subs and so does the monaro if it was me, ill be getting some high quality splits and 6inchs in the back, i dont see how 6x9s are worth it.

    My VZ monaro

    20g + calais that was, still a great price insurance yeah, was a bit harder than the calais and that was a v8 too, insurance broker has got me sorted though. the main problem is everyone thinks i want to race them cause im a p plater in a monaro, like these guys are in corollas/civics...
