    yeah get rid of all the audio if you want to go quicker

    i was in the same situation when i did my conversion from vtr, i decided to bite the bullet and chuck some 708's and KMS in at the same time.

    it gets over the immobiliser issue and gives you a lot more tuning potential for the future.

    downside is it costs quite a bit

    still want the audio thats the prob might re-do it and make 2 small light boxes out of MDF for my subs as the box for my subs at the moment ways about 30kg's its the MTX Sledgehammer box - any ideas on keeping the build but making it as light as possible - all in my thread post #65 i think the audio starts

    Any ideas would be much appreciated
