Nah haven't done speakers yet, but will get around to it. But have tuned the amp so that no bass comes through the speakers at all. So the stocko's can go to full volume without cracking or distorting.

Don't have model numbers in front of me but the Amp is a Pioneer 850w 4 channel.
And the subs are rated I believe 400w RMS
2x 12" Kickers

Yes indeed I agree!!! That's one of the first things I plan to buy...

Well my mate and I pulled the cover and intake off to have a look. Took a video of it, but basically the balancer pulley at the bottom has a little bit of a shake in it. It's due for it's next service in about a month, so was thinking of getting it done then maybe.
Anyone know of the costing involved here ?

Car looks awesome welcome to the v8 clan , the paint looks in great nick. Have you waxed it at all or just how you got it. It's a pretty common thing for the pulleys to go. Your best bet is to buy a powerbond balancer will set you back around $400 fitted. But make sure you get them to change the balancer seal while it's apart. Seen far to many not done and it will leak oil straight away. It's only a 20min job so If your mechanic tries to make it sound like a big job go elsewhere.

Cheers Luke.

Thanks mate Well it was transported up, so when I got it, it was covered in a layer of dirt. So gave it a good hand wash, haven't waxed it yet though as I'm unsure of the best items to use Still looking into that part
But otherwise it's black so you can see a few imperfections and scratches, but is to be expected It's used afterall lol...
Thanks for the advice, it's certainly something on my list to do. I have the pulleys coming to change over with a new belt. Should be here today
