to be honest with you....im actualli realli scared of blowing fuses as i never have any spares and i hate looking for the right fuse. thats why i will always disconect the bateries when i work on these sorta stuff. =p the first time i installed an aftermarket head unit in my mums ford falcon i blew lik 4 different fuses and being a noob bak then i didnt kno, centerconsole, interior lights, power windows and a few more all went dead. took the car to jb-hifi and the guy takes a loook and he just laughed at me :o lol....oh well i have learnt my lesson :)Quote:

Also, the batt was disconnected, it all went wrong on power up :-)
all good now though.
I accidentally wired up the wrong wire for batt +ve. It is the pink wire for future reference, not the yellow one (this is for the interior lights, hence the blown fuse). :thumbsup:Quote:

any more ideas before this turns me bald???
how is your amp grounded? By in my younger years, there used to be a product called the ground loop isolator which removed some noise. also, old school condensor caps sometimes also worked, though don't know how effective they are with modern car electrical systems :-)
also, there is nothing wrong with being bald :cool:
Ive currently got a pair of focals 165vb component speakers (65mm depth and 6.5inch width) which are hitting the frame of the door and was wondering if neone ideas if i can fit them in with just a spacer and not hit inner door trim.
or would i have tin snip the door, or would i have to shave the inner door plastic inorder to fit them in..
if neones that has done this before, plz let me know cuz i know Eurosteves done it but not sure how exactli how he did it since his pics are down
best way i found to get rid of the engine noise was the line in converter i have a stinger converter which converts the high frequency inputs to RCA inputs for the amplifier. this eliminated all disturbances i had from the speakers. along with real good groundings.
ebay has a wide selection of spacers that fit in perfectly, i got mines from ebay america. cost me less then $15 shipped hereQuote:

well i put in alpine type r speakers and they fitted in well. they were a deep set of speakers esp when placed next to stock. im sorry but i dont have the box to give u dimensions but im sure it could be found online. maybe just buy a pair of the mdf spacer from jb, there like $10 for the pair n try it b4 u order in proper spacers
i just bought the double din fascia part (08B06-SDE-700) and have yet to have a chance to look at it properly and install it...
I was wondering if i could use the supplied BUS cable as a link from the AUX port on the original and wire it up to my new head unit so I dont have to play around with the original wiring harness?
