maplins are currently selling the 8 gauge kit at half price. £12.50 for a full kit inc fuseholder rca, speaker cable etc. A bargain. Only until 12th June though. You can buy it online for £15 posted. [Edited by strax on 25 May 2004 at 9:34pm]

the connector from the head unit with the clip to secure it in the middle is the one you are looking for. I cant remember if this is the white one or the black one. If you look at the connector with the pins facing you they would be numbered as follows... 8 6 4 2 clip...

There is a quick way that will give you a ballpark figure. check the size of the fuse on the amp, multiply it by 12(for 12v), then half it and divide it by the number of channels and that will give you about the correct figure. ie. Example... 4 channel amp with a 30amp fuse. 30 x 12 =...

I have a 99 1.6. It is the one before the rsi, its called just 16v. has the same interior as the 172 only with cloth for the seats, and a leather wheel instead of alcantara

First post:D from my dealing with insurance companies over the years, if they can shaft you over any detail of mods then they will. I have been through the claims process with a modded car and have seen what is involved, and personally I would say declare everything. Suspension and...
