    Installer said i had done everything right "as if i doubted myself "
    i had done what you and Taz had told me and even double checked what you guys had written so my install was all good as per instructions THANX HEAPS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND TIPS.
    everything was spot on
    just the head unit has a short supplier is resuppling a new h/u fingers crossed it will work
    now the wiring is in the car so just so i have it right when i get the replacement
    1. disconnect battery
    2. plug h/u into harness
    3. reconnect battery
    4. cross fingers and hope it dont blow fuses
    have i missed anything?

    Trying to get 0ga through the firewall of an RX-7.

    Remote start in a VF SSV.

    Arguing with a Mercedes-Benz about its Fibre optics.

    That's about it for today... you?

    Cool.....
    Been zooming around on a ride on at work for a couple of hours.
    Bruised my ribs a week ago bouncing around on same, coming good....some very rough ground.
    Mounted the amp in the boot instead of it flying around on the floor.
    Gunna start cleaning the car out tomorrow for a show at Shepparton on Sunday.

    For the RX7 move the battery to the boot, run a smaller gauge to the front, problem solved, and a better solution for all!

    For the Merc, tell the customer the difference between fibre optics and RCA output is minimal and get over it!

    I am surprised remote start is legal in the Hitler state.

    there you go, you can spend more time on the spam thread now!

    On another random note, I am putting my type-x 3 way fronts and 2 way rears in my car on the weekend.

    Hopefully it sounds as good as I hope.

    Can't move battery to the boot cos stereo. Hence 0ga.

    Fibre optics is used as data communication between the various entertainment and convenience systems in luxury cars.

    The laws on remote start is always hazy. Remote start itself is not illegal but leaving your vehicle running unattended in a public place is illegal. In your driveway at home is fine. Besides, who cares. Lol

    Tweeter removal is fairly straight forward. Remove the glove box and drivers under dash panel, now remove the end caps of the dash with the vents that feeds the door. Now there is one little screw that holds down the each windscreen vent. Take it out and lift up. Hey presto.... There is your tweeters.

    damn....I was gunna say that.
    But.....to remove the side vents, there are three screws.
    Two of them are are easy to find as you can see the holes.
    But one is sort of hidden at the top of the panel. It's in the very top, small vent outlet and it's a machine thread screw, not a self tapper.

    See the little bugger hiding in there. You little devil.
