anyone know of any nearby that do good work? The plan was to do the entire audio job myself, which so far has been going great, but now it seems that the boot is somewhat out of my league, as i dont really want to learn how to make a custom box in my own car...

The original plan was an MDF dual slot port box for 2 15's... ive since thrown that idea out because it would be frigging hard to make and weigh a shit load... and i couldnt really get the litreage i wanted...

im looking to have a nice, show style box made for the boot... as far as design goes, i dont intend on using the boot for anything else, but i am going to want to get to the amps and what not...

i know of a couple places around that do good work, and im sure they charge through the roof... but if it is of high, guarenteed quality work, then i dont mind...

does anyone know anyone in that business? or dealt with anyone?

can you suggest any companies?

Several people have had work done by Marty here, I can think of myself and Wolverine for a start.

Others include

- Doran Pro Audio

- Precision Car Engineering, Carlton

In terms of labour rates you'll find that they aren't different to your bulk installer (eg Strathfield, JB). But they have high standards of quality and won't take shortcuts, whereas the quality can vary greatly at those big retail outlets depending on the installer.

yeah theres no way strathfield or JB are touching this car... this is the only part i need done by a profesional...

i already know the guys over at doran pretty well... but who doesnt these days...

and i know of a few others around, theres one in Ryldamere... diamond car audio or something like that... i know where it is, just forgotten the name...

i only need the box done too, everything else i can do myself... but thanks for the info, ill check em out :rofl:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
