FTO AUSTRALIA

Sanded, primed and sprayed the interior door handles in the black one today. Sky blue looks pretty good! Only a $3 can from cheap as chips too

Today I did some work on the black one;

- Removed rear seats for a thorough clean (found $3 worth of shrapnel underneath!)
- Removed parcel shelf cover
- Cut all the plastic from inside the speaker enclosures in the cover
- Removed the old 6X9 AddZest speakers, which were in such horrid condition that I was amused
- Installed new Kicker 6X9 speakers & wired them up
- Replaced the lump of sh*t AddZest head unit with a Sony Xplod
- Fixed the issue with the drivers side window mechanism, it now goes up and down correctly
- Installed fully hectic adhesive P Plates as the missus got her license today!


...I'm now brain dead.

Okay, I'll put the AddZest back in and experience the following fine audio quality;

- White noise throughout everything
- No FM Radio
- Error codes displaying every 3 or so minutes
- Spitting disks out at random
- Scratching disks
- Skipping to random bits of the CD every 30 seconds or so
- The missus blaming me for it

You keen?

Haha dont take it personally man, just a joke at how much (in general) i hate sony xplod, as (generally) their cheap pieces of sh*t. Very few models are actually any good.

Awkward, I think my sony xplods sound great

Your easily pleased then

Get some decent high range kickers/boston acoustics etc and youll be blown away.
As i said MOST xplod stuff is just garbage, the only thing ive seen worth merit is Matt's single DIN head deck (which i still think apart from its features is over-rated) but i guess it proves some of the more expensive stuff might be worth it.
Went from a pretty crappy setup in my car to a full top line kicker setup and DAMN does it sound good and go hard Came in at under 2k as well including a 12" slimline 400RMS sub, 1000RMS JBL touring amp, mono for the sub putting out 320RMS and kicker 6/9's and splits with tweeters. I suggest the same for everybody else, not xplod (sorry again obsidian - thats my potty mouth talking)

its just some people dont find their music such a priority, xplods are ok, bang for buck. but for people like us, doesnt cut it, i still think the sonys (non xplod sh*t) that i had in my rears earlier, did fkin well... but now boom couple g worth of alpine later

yea i know, i was the bastard who wired them in!

Thats nothing compared to the 5800rms my setup was running on lol

Dont get me started on Xplod. HATE that line of speakers with an absolute passion now.

Yea - when the battery was charged

I had a triple battery setup lol
But yeah killed a couple of alternators lol

Like I said, I got a Sony Xplod HEAD UNIT, and KICKER rear speakers... I know the sony speakers are sh*t but the head units have never failed me!

Also remember this is the missus car and not my own...I use Orion, Clarion and Alpine sh*t in mine If I could afford, I'd go Memphis! /foreverpov
