well with your Subwoofers and amps and games consoles in
and games consoles in 
My boot consists of various junk. Mostly the same junk that was on display at Perth.
No install as such!

nope, only very minor electrics are going in the boot.
im kind of against audio installs, they add weight to the car for not enough gain in sound quality to make it worth it IMO. thats before we get into how they make the car much less practical. a car is for driving and using, not turning into a mobile boom box.
mine is a much more practical kind of boot install

tbh they add less weight that a spare wheel... fact (i know you probably dont have a spare to save weight but it really isnt as much as people make out)
they add LOADS in sound quality if done correct. i have a sub, rear speakers and front. no install just the stuff for some good music... i travel alot 210k in my sei and when in traffic good music is the future.
i stripped my car down to just a drivers seat and dash and tbh it didnt make a massive difference. at all.

nope, no spare wheel for me, how'd you guess?
i have upgraded front speakers and rear speakers built into custom trim panels that arent wired up, tbh the front is adequate and the sound quality is perfectly acceptable, with the rear wired in it will be fine.
when i had the rear of the cinq and passenger seat stripped out, it made a huge difference to initial acceleration, possibly wouldnt feel so much different in a sei because the interior makes up a bigger proportion of the overall weight of the car
i have lots of old pc parts i can convert into a car pc with a few additional bits, im tempted tbh
Seen that once before, was ver' nice. Bit power hungry iirc though!
boot installs....speakers..soundsystem?
It's called engine noise folks very rarely have music on if I'm shifting along a road. However in traffic is another matter.
Need to get my big dh bike in the car so it wouldn't be an option anyhow.

yeh need this thread tidyed up tbh.... ill grab a pic of my speaker set up later
There you go James, that was a pic I took minutes after it had been put in & wired up.
The sound system pakage is:
2x Alpine SXE1024S 4" Front Speakers
2x JBL GTO938 6x9"'s in the Parcel shelf, which had been installed by the BF of the last owner, need to take those out & put my newere ones in.
Hertz EP2 2 Chanel Amp, mounted on the back of passenger seat at Drivers side
Hertz DBX250 10" Boxed Subwoofer
Total cost should have been around £500, but I got it for £297.. because of I'm a member of Scottish Modifiers, so I got Members Discount.
The company who insatled it is Audiowise in East Kilbride.
http://www.audiowise.co.uk/
Pretty happy with my standard 6 speaker set up, though wouldn't mind upgrading the speakers a bit and doing something about the bass rattle I get in a few panels. The standard Stilo HU allows for a sub I think as well, have seen it as an option on many and there was a Bose option too I think that may have included this.

Well thing is Rob, it depens as to wether your'e keeping RGZ or selling her & buying something else....
If your'e keeping RGZ then speak to Allan at Audiowise http://wwww.audiowise.co.uk/ & they'l sort you out with something.
Tell them your'e budget & what sort of thing you'd like, they'll have a look at the Car, measure up speaker size, then tell you when to come back & have the work done.

Ill get my pic`s up soon

Aye, remember you mentioning them when you first got the install. There's a fair few other things prioritised ahead of an install though that need money spent on them. Still, something to consider if I do keep RGZ a while yet :smile:

Also meant to say Rob, if you've got an electrical problem, then Audiowise can help.
So if say your'e engine managment light comes on, the can do a basic diagnostics for you.
Have a look at their website Rob, they can aslo install parking sencors, Alarms etc etc etc.
Only 10mins drive from the main shopping centre in EK.
