sounds like a plan mate, i will give that a try. cheers

the sound you will get off of 1 quality sub and 1 good box with the proper calculated volume of the box will be just as good as 2 subs mate, as you are taking alot of power away with 2 subs to an amp, unless you have 2 amps 2 subs, an extra battery, and a split charge relay, also 2 subs will just dim your lights if you have it up 2 loud. just a thought for you mate. cheers derek

wasnt really sure wher to put this post, but heres the problem anyways, when i installed my ddi gauges i took the needles off to paint them red, but since i put them on they keep slipping down to the bottom of the guage, are they not pushed in far enough or what, any ideas anyone, it only does it with the fuel gauge and the temp, the speedo and the rev counter are fine cheers derek
