    putting a sub and amp to a stock headunit

    I just tapped off the rear left door, u can access the wires where the door hinges are. Straight into the high in on the amp. It was good at the beginning, but now a year later the main speakers have had it so to say, sounds all distorted.

    SV6 average fuel consumption high after pick up from dealer?

    its normal, reset the L/100 and let it idlle for a min, and the L/100 will max out. then drive for 5 min and it will give you a realistic reading.
