Paul Don't know if the HU has pre-outs. If not, probably best to change for two reasons: a new HU may have better amplification anyway but if you're thinking amps then go for a HU with (at least) 2 preouts. It's still possible to get amps that will take a speaker input instead of a proper line out but it's a compromise. At least if you fitted a higher power HU with pre - outs, you've got the option later on... Simon

Mmm - must get some of those! However, if the Feds run 'em that's got to be the ultimate praise!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I ordered a new one on Monday (standard + metallic) for a shade over 14K, from a main dealer - they were advertising unreg from

Hi Stimps The sides of the boot were the original thought but I'd prefer to hide them. And when I saw that area behind the wheel.... Had a complete false floor in my MKII GTi but that was well ventilated. I think you're right about the wiring for the fan - I guess wire them through the remote amp switch on the HU (it's an Alpine 78 something) BUT use a separate power cable from the amps for obvious reasons... Anyone ever passed cables back through the centre console along the tunnel? Looks a bit tight but any thoughts welcome! Otherwise down each side...

I was thinking about a red one but the dealer said there ain't much call for them! (Digs nuclear bunker and retires with 4 month's worth of chocolate...) Thanks for the welcome guys! Now to work out how to get a pic of a Genesis album for an avatar...

The dealer says 7 - 10 working days, apprentley Skoda UK have circa 50 black ones in stock! Just as well, off to Champagne in a couple of weeks! Seen the thread with the amp in boot now (doh!) but one of my amps is 16 inches long so the old grey matter will have to work overtime...

Hi everyone, as you can see this is my 1st post. Placed my deposit for a vRS this afternoon - spending half the weekend reading all the forums helped me decide I'm doing the right thing! Has anybody tried mounting amps in the void behind the spare wheel? The only concern I have is the possible lack of ventilation but I guess some sort of vent could be cut (!):eek: out of the carpet. When I get round to doing it (approx 36.5 seconds after picking the car up!) I'll fire up the G2 and put some pics up. BTW all the tips on the speakers were great - I've got some Infinitiys for the rear and will stick some components up front. Cheers! Simon
