just run line out converters to your amp from your original speakers to an amp, then you can listen to some oldschool shaggy tapes with 2 subs to your hearts content

The stock head unit, is.. other then being akward to use, not my cup of tea, I'd much prefer to use an aftermarket head unit, considering I already have one in the shed anyway.

Okay so now the V6 is all going and painted, Its time to focus on this thing. Today, I fixed the window reg on the drivers side door. This is what was done to it: I knew I had a spare switch for the drivers windows and the one that was on there was a butchered passenger one (why i do not know). So I pressed the buttons and it sounded like it was working so I pulled the door trim off (lol it was held in by two screws the one on the lock and the one on the arm rest) cause the window wasnt moving but it was making noises. The window at one stage must have been smashed because there was glass all over the bottom door, so instead of putting the window and reg in properly they drilled the window in place and just left the reg in the bottom of the door. -.- I had it all connected before I figured that out what them weird screws in the top of the door were for lol. so after i came inside and gave up it hit me so i went out and fixed it. And that is all i have done on it in the past few months (lol)
