Get a new exhaust and forget the sound system  :cool:
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:

I've already got a sub and amp wired in with 2 door card speakers. Getting parcel shelf speakers. My head unit is a pioneer(a post about it on here) but the wiring to go into the pioneer ISP lead is all f*cked and short and ruined and the stereo doesn't turn off.. I need a lead that goes from the 2 output cables into the Iso lead and sort my earth wire and sort out the wires that actually switch it on and off as its currently permanently on.. So I thought the easiest best thing to do is re wire it up to the pioneer head unit iso.. Blown too many fuses trying to wire it up..

What I would do for now is just unplug the amp from the battery. You wire the amp using phono wires (red and white) which easy easy and can be ignored. You will wire the parcel shelf and door speakers using the white, purple ect. Now that those can all be ignored focus on your remaining wires. There should be 4 and have there own pin on the head unit. Ou will need a constant live, a switch live and an earth, that is all. The blue wire can be ignored but is sometimes used to add a aerial booster.

Mine stayed on when crossover relay died and fusebox had enough of getting wet.
Used to get in car and the head unit would be on

Oh no, how come?
Even a halfords guy would be able to do your stereo, have you isolated the important wires?

if you went for a basic head unit and 4 speakers. you would only need to join up 8 speaker wires and power and earth. oh and aerial cable.
