Front speakers will run but not the rears that are running off the amp. antenna may be ok but what happens if you are playing CDs - the amp turns off :)

Maybe Ill just use the HU trigger and hope I dont run the battery down if im just listening to music in the car when car isnt going...

ok now i understand, i assumed you were running all speakers off the amp. you could just wire in a switch (from jaycar or something) to manually turn the amp on/off from drivers seat. That way you could choose to use it or not. But as long as you aren't pumping the music then the amp won't drain the battery to fast.

Run your amp so it's switched by your head unit when it's on. Mount a simple toggle switch or similar to break the circuit and kill the amp when you do not want it to run.

That way you just have a manual overide.

think about where you might want to mount the switch? Centre consol, some where in the dash etc. Run into dick smith and see what they have they will mount easily and not look to out of place.

You could use any 2 position switch. It would only have to carry 2 amps or some thing like that so any thing will switch it.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
