no pic up kelvin, try uploading it to photobucket then posting the link here www.photobucket.com

[Kelvin]

i can see the photo i have posted up but i will try it your way zetec20

[Zetec20]

looking good kelvin, with ur one it's posted as localhost which means only ur pc sees it as that, another pc would need your ip address in the place of that, in short, photobucket is easier, what mods u got planned?

[Kelvin]

induction maybe a CIA or a shortyin the far future still looking around for kits do some research first, but in the meantime im content with doing mods that wont void my warranty like de-badging an lowering a inch or two.--what mods have you got?

[Zetec20]

so far.... 2 12 inch response subs powered by a 800w monoblock response amp, ipod nano, 20% tints all round, lowered around 2 - 2 1/2 inches on kings superlows, 20 x 7.5inch BSA wheels (currently off the car) 2 1/2 inch press bent exhaust with dual tip in custom rear bar cutout, that's about it at the moment, as you can see in the other thread i've got a few more planned

I think this is the pic

Car looks great! Go the black LS's

you need to get a line out converter (LOC) which converts the signal from speaker wiring (i used the 2 rear door speakers) into 2 rca plug, then you simply run an rca to your amp (plus the other nessesary power, ground, and remote) and bob's your uncle, I've actually got a spare very high quality line out converter lying around if you're interested for say... $60? It's still in the packaging and has never been used.

Ahh

thanks for the offer but i will pass this time, i probably wont touch it for a bit but first thing i will do is lower it.

Cheers though

welcome to the forums, i drive a fez but we all talk to each other on each others forums, every1's input is respected and highly valued. good to have you on board and im sure that you will bring some experience and ideas to the forum.

i my self installed my sub, it actually cost me 55(the price of a carton of crown lagar at the time)... lol .... really simple, just had to tapp into one of your speaker wire(well maybee more than one) then connect the rca's up to the amp then to the sub and just have to tune it, with the fez i just had to run the cable under the dash which was easy down the center console under my gear stick, under the hand brake, then under my seat, and to tell you the truth u cant even see the cable unless u know its there, my amp is obviously under my seat... the cable then goes across to the the plastic on the door sill, up under that, i just pushed it up there with a pen lol and that goes all the way to the boot with out any1 seeing it.

im sure you may be able to something similiar and i hope that this may have given you some ideas.

The man speaks truth. FYI there are also amps availiable that have high level input as well, but seeing as your have an amp already this info is worthless.

As for remote wire, wire it to the igntion, or if you won't be listening to it all the time, put in a switch somewhere along the line...

Don't use a cheap converter as well, like I did, because with the stereo off, but amp on, it makes the speaker acts like a microphone, and closing the rear passenger doors, it sounds like someone hit a gong inside the car.

LOL i must have a cheap one lolz cause when u turn my head unit off i get all this FEED back lol hehehehe, sounds cool , but i know its wrong, i put a switch in myself, sits just under the handbrake, looks cool and when i get off *** ill take a pic and post it lol.
