Hey mate, yeah still involved. It’s now the family car and the father in-law is doing most of the work on it.

Amps in and it sounds great. Really didn’t expect it to be that much better. Thanks for the help guys.

Na I meant 220rms for my speakers wired in parallel. If I wire the 2 speakers of 110rms each 4Ω in parallel is it the same as wiring one 220rms 2Ω speaker? amp specs 1200W Max Mono 4 x 100W (4Ω) 4 x 150W (2Ω) 2 x 300W (4Ω bridge) 2 x 250W (2Ω bridge)

1200w 4 channel

Ok slowly getting there. I want to get the most out of my fronts so if I wire them in parallel and bridge them over 2 channels does that mean ill have 250w rms over my 2x110w rms (I'm guessing I just add them 220w rms) and then have enough power for them?

Hey gurus, just in the middle of installing my amp to power my front and rear speakers. I will post all specs below. My speakers have come with 20 awg wire and my amp wiring kit has come with 16 awg, so should I run new 16 awg wire to my speakers or can I still use the 20? and what are the...

As far as I can tell, the lights on the boot leak and there is no real drainage holes in the cavity behind the number plate. I have drilled 3 small holes in the new boot that should let the water out if any happens to find away in there. Need to order new lights, a badge and find a new garnish...

Nearly a year has passed since Iv posted on here, not much has changed. Rims got finished and tyres where fitted turned out ok for now and will probably get redone once its on club rego. Have a new boot lid sitting here waiting for paint as the old one has rust just under the number plate...

I just bought this same amp, looks pretty good for the cost. What wiring kit did you decide on? Iv been looking at this one and changing the 100amp fuse to a 80amp to meet the requirements of the amp...

Rear speakers are in, the old ones where pretty much non existent they had perished that much. While the seats and parcel shelf where out I decided to pull the rear quarter windows out to re seal. The passenger side had screws that had fallen out so ran down to the wreckers to pick up another...

New speakers for the front arrived today, Alpine type R SPR-60C 6.5". Being 6.5s I have to modify the door pods to get them to fit right. Pretty easy to do, just cut the whole pod lip around the stock speaker sat. Only got the passage side in and did a little comparison with the driver side...

Ok next question, why would I buy a big brand amp over that cheap one I posted before? and why shouldn't I buy that cheap one? cheers again

Perfect, thanks mate. Think I'm getting my head around it.

Ok so I found this amp (just using it for an example) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-PowerVox-5600-Watt-4-Channel-Car-Amplifier-Black-/291872681468?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275 it says 140W RMS per channel, now say I end up buying Alpine SPS-610G speakers that have a RMS power handling of 80W...

Hey guys Iv just picked up some Alpine SPR-60C speakers for my VS, I plan to use them in my front doors with the tweeters going into the factory place up near the windscreen. Just wondering if I should get another set for the parcel shelf or should I avoid component speakers because there is no...

Decided that I could have done a better job rubbing the rims back, so started all over again and got them perfect. Panit is on and clear Going to do the inside of the rim tomorrow after the clear has had time to harden.

There is this thread but its just cars in general. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today.148258/ Anyway, I continued prepping my wheels getting ready for paint this weekend.

Trying to keep busy with this and the crappy weather. Working on the wheels ATM trying to get them ready for the RE003s. Only working on 2 right now as I don't want to over commit. Hopefully paint and clear sometime this week. Before Sanded/Sandblasted Filled Primed

Sorry mate but I'm going to saving you some time waiting. The last post on this was about 4.5 years ago and seeing as he only had 5 forum posts I don't think he is around anymore.

Iv seen this car for just over 6 years since i joined this forum, its not the most modified or the biggest standout but god iv loved this thing (Not just because of the plates). It makes me so happy to know that it still getting around and being treated right. These cars are a dying breed and...

Been running really well lately. A few pictures from a quick drive tonight.

I have one on my Ute, light doesn't work CBF fixing it. Lol A standard vs doesn't have a light there so I didn't waste my time and money to get it working.

https://www.ebay.com.au/p/?iid=122462026820&&&chn=ps There is one here on eBay. There is a chance that that light might not be wired up, all depends on who put it on there.

It has already had that done to it. I picked it up pretty cheap so just going to cut my losses. Doesn't worry me that much, I'm just keen to be able to drive it around once the new TPS gets here. Done less than 50km in 4 weeks.

So 70mm TB has been introduced to the bin and the stock one is on. Now my TPS has packed up lol it didn't like being taken off and on. New one on the way. Buying a sandblaster this weekend and getting the engine covers and wheels ready for paint.

Put the old TB back on today, no more vacuum leak code. AHHHHHHH not happy. Inspected the 70mm TB and compared to the stock one the butterfly was a lot more ajar. Could this cause error 36 (vacuum leak)? Anyway fiddled with the screw,got a lot nicer idle but still have the code. Might just bin...

Put a socket on the tensioner and push it down, if you stand to the side of your car watch and see if the tensioner moves moves perfectly up and down. Iv had one that that pulled down on an angle and caused the belt to squeak over the pulley.

Eye candy in Carrum Downs, had my VF roof done by them and they do a pretty good job. Look them up on FB to see their work.

So today I did the old blow cigar smoke into one of the vacuum lines and look for where it leaks out. Replaced a few lines that looked as if they were leaking or just old. Still getting error 36 vacuum leak. not happy lol. I have been thinking maybe its the TB, because the new TB has been bored...

$600 for a new cover? they are on eBay for less than $200, surly you could buy one of those and get it modified for you bars for a lot less. Normally don't like these kinds of utes but loving this one. Nice work mate.

I know you said you put a new radiator in but could it be blocked?

Lim leak? I have sprayed the whole top of the engine lol. Going to look at the vacuum ball thing when I get time and make sure all the lines are right from that. I'm also going to put the old TB back on just to see if it is that.

Still having problems with a high idle, error 36 showing (vacuum leak) I can't seem to find where it is though. Surly it has to do with the TB as thats the only thing iv touched. Starting to drive me a little crazy, iv been spraying WD40 around all the vacuum lines and can't get any response...

My 98 ute has no air bag and the horn doesn't work either. I suspect the clock spring but come to think of it it hasn't worked since iv owned the car. Wonder if it has anything to do with being pov pac.

A 7 year dig now thats humorous.

Hey mate if I send you my email could you please also send it to me?

All senators will come up as a berlina on the checking sites. I got this off hsv TRIM GREY INTERIOR TRIM [15I ] TAG L834855 ISOVIN XXXXXXXXXXL834855 COLOUR PANTHER [K009 ] MODEL VS-SEN-185-A

Yeah I was also beginning to think it's a V6 one. Oh well after cutting that stopper down I don't think it will give me anymore trouble.

Still waiting on a new IAC valve, fingers crossed it come by friday. Bit ticked of for not noticing the nut that holds the cruise control cabe to the accelerator bracket was hitting the stopper on the TB. Not very fun when your accelerator gets stuck 3/4 the way down and you can't get it back...
