    Nice VG ute dude! Must be lethal in the wet? How much did that set you back??? Also, would you be able to post some pics up of the subs behind the seats? Because I have a 10" in a custom box, behind the pas seat and find that the seat sits to far forward, in my VG.

    Thanks, set me back around 8500 probably a lil bit too much but its worth that to me if you know what i mean Yeah ive got a heap of pictures that ill put up sometime today i just have to find my camera. I haven't noticed my seat sitting too far forward seems pretty normal to me, but then again I've never sat in a VG without a sub behind the seat.

    Bloody good VG dude! I can understand why you paid that much for it. Its in top nick!

    Ah..So the main chassis (from the cabin to the tray) has been cut in order to mount the subs? Is there sub boxes in the tray?

    Would you be able to work out any specs on the sub install, because I would love to do that to mine.

    Thanks heaps!
