    Mate it needs to go through the head unit. If it doesn't have an aux you will need to use one of those devices that sends the signal through the radio. I don't sell them but I'm sure you could find one in officeworks.

    Check with your installer if your really concerned but that sounds right to me. The cap simply stores electricity for fast discharge during heavy bass notes. When you turn your car off it still holds charge hence why its still on.

    I do take Paypal. If you want me to freight something to New Zealand I would find out how to do it. There may be an extra charge depending on how much it will cost.

    I do deal with option Audio. I only list the amplifiers but if you really want something else from the range just PM me.

    Does your sound system work? If its installed correctly and your sound system is working then there shouldn't be a drama.

    i got a problem ..

    Now, when I play a song Volume 10+ ..

    During the song, if the word with an "s" or alike comes up, it makes a static sound, or some crap thing..

    Im guessing my speakers are blown? But a lot volume they sound great

    Your tweeter is harsh by the sounds of it. You will either need a better set of speakers or some better equaliser settings to solve that.

    What would be involved in installing a set of Opus 6.9" woofers into a Commodore? I already have a set of 6.5" MB Quarts in there (and a suitably hacked plastic speaker pod) and they are pushing size limit as it stands.

    Have you ever fitted a set to one of these cars? I assume some kind of custom pod/spacers are required?

    Also, do you recommend and/or sell any sound deadening products?

    Just to add to Joe's answer, low quality mp3s tend to sounds tinny, and often very staticy.

    I have some in my CH Lancer but I have not had them put them in a Commodore yet. If fitting is an issue I always recomend my AD speakers since they have a much lower mounting depth. The Crescendos are good speakers if you can fit them. The mounting diameter and depth is on my site.

    As for deadener I'm waiting for a container of Anti-VIBE. Couple of weeks left before I can list it on the site. It looks very promising and I think its going to be the best deadener available in Australia when it hits our shores

    Some CDs sound a bit tinny too.. I wish every CD had a perfect recording! MP3s are the worst suspects though. I appreciate your activity in my subforum by the way

    You will need a custom MDF trim ring to make them fit and fit well. Reality is though, if you spent the money on MBQ then you should have that already
