    active subs any rec

    I fitted a Blaupunkt obsd 8000 this week. 2 20cm subs and very small. Would recommend it if you just want to add a bit of bass rather than bouncing along the street. Not sure if its available in the UK though.

    what do i need for 6x9s (wire)

    Sorry to hijack but I also fitted new speakers this week and they sound sh1t. So I need to change the wires round on one of the speakers to make sure the + and - are the same way round? And if it doesnt help could it be that the head unit isnt providing a strong enough signal? A new HU is on...

    Renault Stereos and CD-Rs

    Ive also got a MK1 172 and I find it quite temperamental. Some disks work without a problem but others will say No disk or disk read error. They all work fine in the normal PC CD drive, not burner.

    Offered New V6 At A Poss Saving

    Whats all this Everyone will have the blue one. Ive only ever seen 1 V6 on the road and that was in the South of France. Surely you had this decision to make before you placed the order and decided that Black was the right choice. Youve already got a V6 to drive until then and if youve only...

    172 Cups... Common as Saxo’s
