Quick update, my sub and amp should be here tomorrow so hopefully get that in, also ordered some new door speakers and 6x9 to replace standars speakers but ive been told that they have lost my parcel :/ and they dont have anymore of them speakers in stock :/ but they did say they was insured and offered me a full refund, or some repladcement speakers better than the ones i ordered so i took that option, should be worth the wait for better speakers i guess, ill crack on with wiring sub and amp up though, anyone know the best way to routh the power cable from battery? as i cant seem to find the best place to get the wire in.

yeah its alot better on pull off! also sounds great for a 1.2 with standard exhaust i think it was about £11 off ebay, really cheap. yeah sound system was really cheap too lol £55 in total for sub amp and wiring kit, brand new in box delivered, door speakers was around £15

chhep and cheerfull i say lol
