it has a socket on the rear so you add a patch lead which is normally supplied which you simply plug the stick into

When i put the speakers in the front door the windows would only go down so far and catch on the speakers so i took the door panel/card off,removed the speaker grills screwed the speakers to the door cards and put the grills back on to clear the windows.

Mat, might be worth a look at an under seat sub setup? It's far more subtle than a big old wedge in the boot.

This sort of thing http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/cate...ers_c-2741.htm

Like the look of the kenwood on there. They've got built in amps and that one has a little remote so you can quickly adjust the gain. Not gonna win any comps with it but I love the idea of these to just add a bit of tidy bass to a system.

Hi mate that's a real good idea.. But the std head unit is a shit tape deck so will at least have to change that I want to be able to put a USB dongle or something I can fits a few 100 songs on.
