Well, being a beginner I don't plan on switching any time soon and with no previous experience with DSLR's I won't know whether I want a different brand. :)

Lol, never thought of that!

From all he other topics it seems to be the D40 that's recommended for a first. Would I be ok without the stabilisation? I think I'd get a tripod anyway so it's not vital. Thanks guys. Can't wait for pay day now. :D

I'm looking to replace my point and shoot Panasonic Lumix FX55 with a "proper camera" but I have no idea about good brands or anything! I want to spend around £200-£300 and will be using it for everything.. Stabilisation would be a bonus, but if not then I'll make do with a tripod. Reason I...

I'm going to try find a bolt that will go through the hole in the back of the boot. Can't remember for sure, but I think that was bare metal already but either way it's hidden and a lot of metal there to use. Question still remains - safe to disconnect the earth to move it?

Car started fine and the battery light went out right away. Drove to work with headunit off and amp remote wire out.. Will do some driving at lunch and ofcourse drive home to try get some power then try again. Err, that would be my earth which, by the sounds of it, isn't any good. Where would...

In regards to wiring... I just took a guess and thought "Hm, the earth should be in surely?". All good. :) I checked the dash this morning and the battery and stop light are on. Suggests voltage drop right? Am yet to try starting the car. :s Yeah I used the seat belt holder as the earth. Can I...

As soon as RCA's went in the amp protect light came on. :( Could it be that my battery was low at the time? Try again after drive to work?

Got it! Sorry for being annoyingly stupid :o Thanks once again! :D

This is really annoying lol. I want to just go ahead and do it but don't want to mess anything up. Could someone confirm; 1. Attach subs to amp. 2. Connect power cable to battery positive terminal (do I need to disconnect anything/be careful not to touch anything? Am I safe with my hands all...

So with everything else connected, just whack the power on the battery and job done?

Right, so... 1. Attach subs to amp. 2. Connect power cable to battery positive terminal (do I need to disconnect anything/be careful not to touch anything? Am I safe with my hands all over the position terminal?). 3. Attach amp earth. 4. Attach remote cable. 5. Complete power connection to amp...

Yeah I know as all the channels are used up. :) As I said before, I won't be fitting comps for a week at least.

Tempted to waste a bit of money and just buy some smaller components that will fit right in. Really don't fancy cutting the door as I like the option of returning to standard...

Right think I'm getting it now.. Out of interest.. both ways will work (CH1+CH2 vs CH3+CH4) just the other way around? Sub 1 is bridged over ch1 and ch2, sub 2 is bridged over ch3 and ch4.

Black-Clio-1.4, if you read the thread you'll see all of the questions have been answered and I'm almost done with it all. Thanks anyway though. Wallop, I am running two subs and they will both be bridged (for now!). I have one RCA from back of headunit (SW preout). Both of these are bridged...

Thanks I'll read through and hope I understand it. :) This is what someone over at TA done for me..

Got some info over at TalkAudio so I now know what outputs to use. :) Thanks again. Thanks dude. Differs from previous advice for wiring up sequence, but you seem to know you stuff so I'll do it your way. If the current earth position isn't very good I'll move to the hole and give that a go.

For now I'm just running two subs through one RCA. I will be adding another RCA and two components at a later date but due to having to hack the door apart to get 6.5" speakers in I've left it for now. Will re-consider buying 5.25" speakers to make it easier... So yeah, just subs now. I've got...

Do I just connect it to the battery by removing positive and fitting it on or do I need to remove negative first or anything? Now I'm being very cautious as I really don't want to touch the battery! :P No manual... I bought it all off my sisters bf's from his old show car. I've also got all...

Here we go... Almost there. :) Will probably adjust it to look more like yours when I work out best place for amp. Ok, what's the best way to connect everything up? For now I'll just be running subs from the amp but not sure what cables to connect first.....

Sorry if it came across that way... I just thought you had to know as part of the test. Ps. 1 minor. ;)

Ah I get ya'. I'll go whack it on now, thanks.

Found another possible earth location. Right under the plastic trim on the edge of the boot there's a threaded hole with no bolt (same on both sides). Looks quite bare and perfect size for the terminal on my cable which could be fed under the plastic to have direct contact with the metal. (the...

Decided to use some of this tacky plastic tubing around the power cable to make it less obvious. Better than bright blue cable but still not great. Will do for now... Not liking this 'ISO bar' (that's what it's called?) bolt. There's a bolt where you put the strut bar ('strut tower'?).. is...

Turns out there were two wires like it which makes more sense as the two were touching each other. Covered these up with electrical tape then my brother jumps in the car and decides to tape it all up. :D It's now all back in and working. Thanks for all the help guys.

All my my finger are sore from pushing cable under things and a couple of my knuckles are raw from forcing my hand under the carpet (which is like sandpaper!!) to grab cable. I don't feel like shoving my hand in there. :P Good news though! I think I just found the culprit (And I also have two...

Might have to try it tbh. Are you serious? lol Now I really don't want to... :P

It happened again! This time it was right as the headunit locked into place. Same fuse. Off to halfrauds I go as that's my last spare gone. All wires appear to be fine - nothing stripped. Argh really annoying.

I swear this comes up in the theory as well as practical? :s
