Does you headunit not have a subwoofer adjuster built in?
Ha, yeah most head units do but you always have to go through a menu to get to it, there's nowt better than having an easy access knob!  :grin:

Yeah it's got an adjuster but as SoundillusioN says it's an annoying menu to go through. TBH the on/off switch is good enough for me!

I've just been to halfords and bought some blanking grommets so may remove wiper and spoiler in the morning  :smiley:

Is it just me Dom, or is everything for you 10 times harder then it needs to be?  :grin:

Good call on the grommets :afro:

Nothing is ever simple  :grin:

Admittedly that is largely due to my lack of experience with most things car related. This means that mistakes I make now i'm less likely to repeat in the future  :cool:

Rear is now dewipered, looks miles better. Pics to follow later.

I also treated all windows with glass cutter and repellent, off to Manchester now for the warehouse project so i'll see how well it works!

I should of thought of this when I use to have subs. Would of saved me getting annoyed and ripping them out just because I wanted to listen to my music without 2 12" subs poundin my ears.

That seems like a fair point to make.  :grin:

Well my headunit is the Alpine 9880R and all I have to do is click in the volume knob once and it's on the subwoofer adjuster. :afro:

Halfords windscreen cleaning materials mentioned above work a treat  :cool:

Dewipered it at the weekend, took the spoiler off as well but decided it looks stupid so put it back on!

Loads better, I would have left the spoiler off, much cleaner look.

Cheers :afro:

Need spacers badly they're looking too lost in the arches!  :embarassed:

Cheers Wayne! It looked a bit silly with the arches on still and I didn't have time to pull them off as well.

It needs a really good clean and polish!
