Brilliant amplifier :drool: , but where's the spare wheel?  :sad:
Having said this, it must sound excellent. Just try and not irritate other drivers in a traffic jam with excessive bass output. That would be very chav! :evil:
How much, if you don't mind me asking?
Congratulations anyway. :smiley:

The Boot Build was £800 plus all the other stuff i had done which eventually came to £2k, the is an alpine sound processor fitted under the floor and it makes it sound awesome.  It lifts the music up off the floor by delaying certain sounds with the speaker or somthing, you have to be in the car to understand it.  Chris spent the best part of a day setting this alpine unit up.

No space saver anymore just tyre weld and a platinum RAC membership lol.

If you want to have a look at Chris's cars setup then check this.

AndyC: You got a very good deal IM0. Are you using the RNS510 head unit and did you have Dynaudio before the re-build?

Will have to do a write up on my experience when I get chance, but the £2k didnt include the amplifier, I bought the amp for £650 from K and M, Chris supplied 2 Focal Subs and the Alpine sound processor.
