got all sorted went and bout an amp wiring kit. thanks for all your help

Right thats good to know. What would be the best thing to bolt it too? And is there any recomended passages to run wiring from under the bonnet and into the car?

I had a cig connector that run from the lighter and into red/black. At first i was only wiring all up for something to do and not long term but now i have changed my mind. the earth wire, as you say should run to a stripped part of metal. Is there any recommendations where to connect this? and how? would it be with tape or a solder of some sort? thanks for this by the way!

Interesting! I am running a black/red from my cigarette lighter and my blue wire from the back of the cd player to act as a remote. just to confirm, i am checking the blue wire and possibly replacing it?

thats the thing though, i have run audio from a different source into each of the amps and still nothing. i to my knowledge have tried EVERYTHING! and i am rather pissed off

this has my head turned inside out!! I have a full range 500 watt speaker in the boot of my car, I was using a 500 watt amp to run it (which was working great). All of a sudden a couple of weeks ago it stopped working. I though it was the amp that had blew but the power light was still glowing. i tried a different speaker but still no output. since then i have, Tried 3 different amps, (500watt & 1000watt) yes on mono! Tried 2 different speakers, (which are working with non car amps), Tried different phono cables, Tried outputting from sources other than the car cd player, Tried wiring the speaker directly to the amp without using a cable to connect both, Checked fuses on the amps. The other car speakers are working fine running straight from the cd player without the amp. I can't think of another solution other than admitting defeat :/ can anyone think of any ideas?? thanks in advance!

my roof is checkered so the wing mirrors are going check also.

little bit of personal touch, i liked the whole idea of sticker bombing but i never liked all the multi colours. I decided to get a couple of hundred vw stickers printed. Took a bit of time to cut all out but think it looks great well happy! will get photos up of them on the car tomorrow, its too dark to take photos now.

at least someone understands having a bit of fun. I didn't really want to build it in more as i wanted it to be set in and out. I suppose the corners could be rounded but its at a friends at the minute. Hes putting a top and bottom on it. think i will put the felt on it on thursday. i will upload pics when its done. mabie it will look less boxy.

as i said in another thread, i picked everything up for free, myself and a few mates wanted to do this for a laugh. get a few photos etc. i also said it wouldn't be staying too long, im not one for driving around my music up loud.

We laughed about this the other day too lol, there is some sound out of it but i will never be turned up to that extent

free sub, free box build, easily removed. bit of fun, how do u justify gay richard rainbow?

not finished obviously it still needs felted etc but this is what she looks like.... what do yous think?

bit of a raw deal there

FTW

thats why i wrote, a bit of craic just for a visual factor, they wont be staying. i picked them up for nothing

I got 2 x 18" 500watt subs yesterday lol, bita craic if anything! have a fella coming to measure out for a box tonight....

update: got it sorted in halfrauds. they tested the wires and turns out a fuse had blew :s it never even crossed my mind to check it. anyway cd player even works now without the keys in the ignition as well as remembering where i last left off. thanks for the help

i am clueless to what a multimeter is na I live in Ireland

new cd player on the cards then?? lol

Yea i did all of that and it didnt do anything :/ its really starting to annoy me as i have 2 - 3 hour mp3 mixes on cd and if i turn the car off at all, it returns to the start!!

I have a: jvc kd-lh401 but every time i turn the ignition on, the cd returns to track 1 {00mins 01 secs} i went over to Halfords and was talking to one of the guys who told me i had to switch the red and yellow wires so that the radio was getting a constant energy supply fro the battery. I couldnt release the wires so i snipped, stripped, soldered and heat shrunk. FOR NOTHING! no power no nothing. i have tried numerous different leads and still no joy :/ anyone had this problem or better stil, have a solution? cheers

How could i prefer something i have never actually used or owned? It wouldnt be a choice beteen lensos and bbs anyway. I would pick borbets or something if i was changing
