ive installed a few subs. just make sure u put a fuse between the amp and battery. when u turn it on for the first time...

MAKE SURE THE FUSE IS OUT AND DECK TURNED OFF DURING THE WHOLE INSTALLATION!

as a final step put the fuse in and turn the deck on..

ive had a bad experience connecting the whole thing with the fuse in... good bye amp :D

oh yer and make sure u use thick cable if you have a powerful amp otherwise the wire can melt which is really dangerous.

hope that can help:D

just a another tip as well...when you are grounding your amp, make sure the line between the amp and ground is as short as possible. also, the power line which goes to your amp should have a fuse within 30cm from the battery....just some things i have picked up from hanging around a qualified car audio installer

nothing but fluffly white stuff under there, actually come to think of it what happens if i get a puncture??? haha, na ive got a few of those short term tyre weld thingies in my car, havent had to use it yet (touch wood) so i cant really say if it will work or not, heres hoping it will

No probs with the wiring etc... 60 Amp fuse connected about 3" from battery, earthed to battery earth point on car etc...

i like the idea of buildouts from the odd shaped spaces on the sides of the boot. Will attempt the box re-build soon. No time this weekend though!!! WOOHOO!!!

Thanks everyone.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
