Cheers mate, Yeah plenty of bass from the 10" considering its under your arm pit! Lol

Two things I forgot ? 1. Ground wiring! Don't take the lazy way out find a GOOD grounding, do a google search there are many ways. There's a trick I was taught. I forget now had something to do with a cassette deck and a speaker and you can listen for a clean spot on the chassis. It is here where you will find the best place to ground. I would like to bet that 80% of the fg noise issues are related to poor grounding! It really is important to find a GOOD ground and not a convenient one!!! And how soes it sound?, awesome, with higher spec rainbow speakers for the front stage I was awarded second at the measq act comp. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi Tim, Mate noise I have found can be hit and miss, in my 09 fg ute I had a little signal noise, however in my '10 50th none. A few things to check, 1. Signal noise ratio on the amps, anything above 100db would be desirable. 2. Ensure proper shielding and separation of power cables and speaker cables. I ran mine down the centre of the cabin driv side, only coz the caps behind the driv seat and speaker cables down the sills. 3. Sound deadening a big must, don't skimp I know it's not cheap but well worth it. In mine with the aircon on with doors and windows shut it blows the excess air out the drivers side door rubber seal. 4. Check the gains, on amps with lower s/n ratios this can help with reducing unwanted noise. I'm running the audison bit one. I'm not sure if you have the premium colour icc but if you do depending on the level of system your searching for it may be good enough considering it has a 5ch eq. If you have the standard icc then your really are very limited, I personally know someone in the industry who tested the premium colour icc and said its ability was very very good for a factory unit. Pity they skimp on everything else in the setup!!!.... Are you planing to install your system in a ute or sedan?? Hope this was helpful let me know if I can help. Dave

Hi guys some picks of my custom fg ute install, with I took the the MEASQ Competition in ACT in September this year. All panels and sub box are custom press fit and require no fixings or screwing to the car in any way. this includes the amps!!!! The setup is now in the process of stripping out to make way for new setup for the 2012 season, hope my ideas may help others with this model fit their stereo gear in. If your interested the system is up for sale, PM me or check the classifides. I will post more pics of the new system once I get around to fabrication. the system components Rainbow splits in doors and a-pillars Rainbow Rears JL Audio for tweeters Alpine PDX 4.150 for all speakers Alpine M6 for sub Rainbow Amboss 10" Sub 2 farad Cap and a sound processor. The next challenge is to fit even more gear into my new setup. I hope this helps with anyone struggling to find practical room for their gear. I have other gear for sale like alpine fold out touch screen etc, see classifide for further details.

Thanks guys. Might wait for a while then, the cars not exactly slow, power must be gettin to my head! HEHE
