hi guys. im thinking of replacing an old aftermarket dvd player /sterio /head unit that doesnt work. i was thinking of replacing the speakers if they dont work and all speaker wire because i dont know if its all connected.instead of mucking around looking to see if it works i was thinking of just buying it all. i have seen i think big thinck amp or sub wire that has been cut when the last owner might have had a sub in there. it has an old original looking amp thing in the boot still, is it worth getting a new one. i would like to know what i need to purchase to redo the whole thing but only the basics. i dont have to much money to spend lots on it.

Rip all the old wiring out and inspect them. If they look dodgy at all or you're not comfortable with them, run new wires.

That's the sensible option.

You know most people would start a thread and ask for more advice.....

Put new wiring through!!

When you're forking out the cash for a full system, might as week spend the extra $200ish for new wiring..

When I did mine, kicker were selling full wire kits for about $150 (with a range of different gauges depending on how crazy you want to go).. The wire kits even come with a 10-15 year warranty, which (If I remember correctly) covers your system for any blowouts...

I'd suggest it getting it all professionally installed though!!

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
