shame its just a plan for now, but maybe one day soon it will be reality...
umm i have 3 x 12" pioneer subs, an alpine monoblock, then umm looking to buy 2 x calrion (i think) monoblocks, C2 range JL 6" speakers, and JL 4ch amp. so bit of a mix really... all the gear i have now i got VERY cheap (3 subs and an amp) for $150 i think. haha making noise just makes more noise. once its done ill be for ever chasing rattles and s**t, but i guess thats the price you pay for a sound system. anything would help i guess, unless its the actual boot skin vibrating. then it will need a decent bit of deadening. never thought of the number plate... :/ the list never ends i guess lol

Are you thinking of installing a head deck somewhere so that you don't need to run line converters all over the place? |

Gonna be great, being able to afford to do everything I want to the car after that I'm earning a decent chunk right now, but when I get out I do want to be a mechanic... so I'll be pretty strapped for cash for a while until I finish the apprenticeship. Probably have to have a second part time or casual job 3-4 nights a week to help a little lol

you want to be an auto mechanic aye?
i ran into an old mate last night whose just become a 4th year diesel fitter up here, doing a short stint at the mine my parents are at. as a first yr he was clearing $2500 after tax, AS A FIRST YR... no substitute for hard work and long hours. bought a fully optioned brand new hilux and a 4 bedroom house as a second year... its tempting me to move back out this way!  have a twin turbo fg with all the bells and whistles in NO TIME!

yeah post tax... poor fella, house paying off itself, new car, looking to buy an investment property (not even a house, like a whole block of flats or something), and he isnt even qualified yet lol
though he is working 5 on 2 off 14 hour days, on call saturdays... so its not from lack of effort... so yeah AWFULLY tempting for me to return home

Yeah but he only has to do that for a year or 2 then he's set for life... He could have 4-5 investment properties in that time lol

I love the sh*t out of it
helps get plenty of attention.I try to keep the revs as low as possible through urban areas. It stays at a nice low rumble until about 2 and a half thousand. It has an annoying tin sound just as it gets to 3grand, always when I stomp the pedal, but I can't work out what causes it, because it only happens about half the time  Still, hopefully when you get yours fitted it will sound just as good! |
